[@jamesdudley7046]

geez, what regular cable service are you guys talking about that costs $35 a month? Sure you can get satellite cable but that is only a promotional price that will end at some point + a contract.

[@manuelfalcon19]

How come this reviews don’t mention the image quality of the streaming services? I just found out DirectvNOW doesn’t even have FullHD, aka 1080P, and I found out through their customer service directly. Now I wonder, do any of these services have it? And let alone talking about 4K

[@josesemino8284]

Why youtube tv don't have international soccer channels and Spanish package

[@aurefmusic6311]

Jose, The best is BCE Premium TV. We are using it for a long time. Over 100 Premium Sports Channels ( Sky Sports, BT Sport, Bein Sports, Fox Sports, NBCSN, TSN, ESPN, ... ) only $15/month or $70/year. just search "BCE Premium TV" on Google you will find it easily.

[@ArcaneShadoww]

Im so confused, do you have to pay for normal TV in America? In Australia, if you have a 4K TV and it's plugged into a proper antenna, all you have to do is turn it on, tune it and then you get all the channels available. We have premium TV services like Foxtel that you can pay for but you can still get normal TV without it.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Yes.... we have to pay for TV..... :(

[@DMS-pq8]

No you can get lots of over the air channels for free with a good antenna depending on where you live

[@davenwin1973]

We pay for TV, if it comes from a cable or satellite company, or an internet streaming service. Over the air TV is free, just by using an antenna optimized for VHF & UHF frequencies (UHF for UHF only markets).

[@Jamari0903]

It depends where I live is 111 miles from our closet ota(over the air) antenna and were not allowed to modify the earth so its either pay for a service or have nothing as they dont make an antenna for inside most can afford(150$ American)

[@DMS-pq8]

Jamari Jam I've seen indoor antennas with a 125 mile range for less then a hundred dollars And outdoor ones with a 150 miles range for less then fifty

Should have done more research. Vue is $40 a month and you can now stream outside the house.

[@cassianoraimundobizotto1260]

[@jeffj318]

[@rogerj262]

You guys need to do better research, PlayStation Vue starts at 39.99 has 5 streams better dvr than anyone you can keep for 28 days, your review did not do a good comparison at all.

[@checkmate4452]

Roger J their review was trash.

[@lisahoogvliet]

Yeah the review sucked, LOL. I had PS Vue for a month and will be going back in November when my DirecTV satellite contract ends. I was gonna pay the penalty to cancel early, $160 but they ended up giving us a deal for like $38 for the remaining 8 months. But come November, it's back to PS Vue!

[@paulk468]

Roger, you nailed it, how do you not mention the Vue DVR or the 5 streams? This review stunk and makes me believe there was a kickback. I have tried Sling and had PS Vue since cutting cord a year ago and watched to see if I was missing anything totally wasted my time

[@RCSimRacin]

Update, with the new Direct TV Now update I may stay with them. They do not Geolock their service. I was able to share my account with my mother saving her much needed money. The DVR is limited to 24 hrs but it’s good enough for 35$ a month. Paid the 200$ early cancel fee on Direct tv.. going to PS Vue.. as soon as my Apple TV 4K promotion is over. I love PS Vue

[@enigmaz13]

I agree. PSVue has a great DVR,,, and the packages for what you get isn't that bad either. I do wish they would offer the Starz package. Slings DVR is crap. The Directv Now they are saying you will get 20 hours free and then if you want to get 100 hours it will cost,, so what will that cost be and I have to say 100 hours isn't that much. The DVR that Vue offers is why I'm where I'm at which is at Vue. If Directv Now does a DVR the same way that VUE does and comparing prices,, NOW might not be too bad of an option because the prices are on par with VUE and NOW does offer more stations, but the APP is limited on some devices. IE: Sheild TV, there is no app

[@loosingmymemory7]

It is kind of strange, I have this advertisement for directv and dish, directv was $20 a month for 30 channels, and dish wanted $30 for 45 channels. As time goes by it seems less channels, higher price, more restrictions. Meanwhile you can purchase IPTV from other countries that offer channel line ups in the 1000's. Once again 'Merika FUK YEAH!

Another problem is that these streaming services do not offer ALL the local channels. If you use an antenna then you cannot record shows on your local networks.

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Sorry but Sling TV is NOT cheap, especially if you like sports. Right now I pay $55 a month on PS Vue and get all ESPN channels, Fox sports channels, MLB, NFL, and NBA networks, all four major networks plus the hand full of entertainment networks that I watch. With Sling if I wanted all the same channels I get on PS Vue (btw Sling doesn't have the MLB network) plus a DVR I'd have to pay $80 a month and that doesn't include having to pay for CBS all access because an antenna doesn't work where I live. Not to mention the fact that Sling's DVR is only 50 hours compared to PS Vue is unlimited. All together for internet and PS Vue I pay $110 versus the $185 I was paying for cable. The ONLY reason to get Sling is if you just have to have Viacom or A&E networks which includes History but to me those channels have become complete garbage showing nothing but reality shows so I don't miss them at all.

[@Blu-Man]

Kenyatta Clay gonna disagree with you on this one my neighbor has the $40 deal she gets everything her bill is a little over $40 so ima probably switch from cable.. Sling is good in my area many residents got it. Im tired of the constant high cable bills but The Amazon 🔥 sticks is 🔥 here

[@kenyattaclay7666]

You can get whatever you want but sorry I just don't see the value with Sling, especially if you are a sports fan. If you don't care about sports or news Philo is the best deal at $16 or $20 but if you want sports then PS Vue is the best option. Yes Sling starts at a low cost but by the time you add on the DVR (which is only 50 hours), the sports package, movie package, News package and the local fee your at $65. Then because Sling doesn't have CBS or NBC that's another $5 for CBS All Access so now your at $70. Let's not forget if you want HBO that's extra. With PS Vue I get all ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, NBC Sports and all four major sports networks. I also get CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox. Also, I get all the same movie channels such as Flex and Sony plus because I'm with AT&T I still get HBO for free and I only pay $55 a month. Oh, I forgot, PS Vue's DVR is already included and it's unlimited. I recently looked again at Sling and saw they came down $5 on the sports package but they still don't have MLB Network. One last thing, PS Vue allows 5 streams at once and now you can watch away from your home network. Sorry but PS Vue is still the better deal and the only service I might switch to is Direc TV Now once the get a DVR.

[@Blu-Man]

Kenyatta Clay nope you not. Correct my neighbor and the man beside me got the $40 deal they get all the. Channels the pay a little over $40 sling and 🔥 sticks is excellent in my area maybe in your are sling. Is not good.... But here is good.. So cant agree with your words on this situation.. Now as far as cable in my area its always high. Im done with cable today will be turning in. All equipment Saturday. Ill probably just do air channels with a good antenna here we 3 miles from the cable 🗼 so ill get 60 channels free. Ill keep the internet to have for 🔥 sticks

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Okay so lets do the math. I just went on Sling's website and to get everything I get now for $55 I would have to chose the $40 package then add $10 for the sports package add $5 for the news package add $5 for the lifestyle package add $5 for the Hollywood package add $5 for broadcast fee and $5 for a LIMITED DVR. I then would have to add $6 for CBS all access because I can't use an indoor antenna. When you add all of that up that's $81. With PS Vue I get an UNLIMITED DVR, all the networks (CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC) live. I get all four sport league networks (NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA) which Sling doesn't have MLB at all. I really don't care about the Viacom channels and as I said that's the ONLY reason to chose Sling but the last time I checked $55 is less than $81. If all you need is the Orange and Blue then good for you but with the exception of Philo all of these OTT services are making a big push for sports fans and if you are one then Sling is NOT a good choice because by the time you add everything up you are still at $55 and at least with PS Vue you get more for that $55.

[@Blu-Man]

Kenyatta Clay sling tv here in my area cheaper.. So its good here guess your area taxes higher ice seen my neighbors sling bill they don't pay no extra $10 for sports package.. The cable here is the issue here and 📡 im done with it here. Free channels is good enough for me but ill keep the internet

[@tomcrawford4243]

I would be sold on Sling TV IF they figured out a way to stream Pacific Time Zone (PST) programming for the tens of millions of us who live in the PST zone. As it stands right now, Sling TV only offers Eastern Time Zone streams for their channels - which means I miss most of my favorite prime time shows (because they stream 3-hours earlier for PST subscribers). WHY can they not figure out how to offer/stream PST channels?

[@rborroto]

I've had Sling (Blue) for more than a year and I love it… tons of channels, $19.99/mo (EXCLUSIVE PRICE FOR BETA MULTI-STREAM SUBSCRIBERS). I added the news package for $5/mo. and the cloud DVR for $5/mo. I like their interface (Roku) and their reliability. But most important for me was their price and my ability to control how much I'm willing to spend per month beyond the base $20 bucks.

[@ajm2593]

[@amb7247]

DTVN on Roku is a terrible experience. While it steams mostly fine, there is the occasional buffering issue. What breaks it for us is the fact that the DVR is incredibly buggy and doesn't work half the time. Sometimes the recorded shows wont come up and when they do come up, sometimes it will not play it. Even occasionally happens on the fire tv. If they release a feature, it should work.

[@g.j.haycock1064]

[@michaelhall4149]

[@larrybell63]

$40 for 25 channels ? Any local channels ? How many devices ?

[@broncobuddha]

Nice review. Something you should make a point of though, especially for those streaming services that near regular cable prices, is that those prices are also month to month. No contract, cancel anytime. I think that is worth mentioning.

[@artdogg50]

Just signed up for the $25 off any tier for 3 months on DirectTV Now. Paying $10 a month for 3 months, which is a steal. It's also the kind of deal I need right now. Once the promotion ends, I'm not sure I'll keep since I'll be paying a lot more, especially to get some of the fall channels I really like.

[@jimmienewton5627]

if you have on demand video why record on a dvr?

[@MrRogermash]

Some live events are not available on demand.Cloud dvr plugs those gaps.

[@richardsmith1161]

People don't want to sit through commercials and everything is not on demand

[@kenyattaclay7666]

I don't want to watch 4 to 5 minutes of commercials. While some networks will only have 30 to 90 second breaks for one demand other networks like ID will have their full 4 to 5 minute commercial break and you can't FF.

[@randyjones7251]

KZbin is $40 and would be more compatible with the orange + blue, plus all the espn channels which you would need to pay additional to get the additional espn channels. Lastly you get your local stations and Cloud DVR included in KZbin. Sling would be additional.

[@paulk468]

You don't cover what for many is most important, number of streams. A family with 4 Tv's is much different than a home with one TV. This sounds like the review is for a single TV with one stream needed.

[@lovelee9699]

Hi Stephanie...As of today, they have not done the update...I will say however, that I'm still pretty happy with DTVN even with the known issues (buffering, though it's really not that bad, no DVR yet) because of their price and channel selection, and their great customer service thus far!! I still would recommend them...Hope this helps with your decision going forward!

[@MrRogermash]

You can keep recordings on FUBOTV for as long as you like,not just seven days as you say in vid plus they have added 5 new channels including amc & bbc america plus shudder & sundance now on the way at no extra cost plus you can also add Showtime.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Thanks for the heads up, Roger!

[@stevencorbo1220]

How many TVs

[@chiwas]

I have tried both Sling and DirectTVNow. In my personal experience, while Sling is "cheap" as Kyle says, if you compare at the level of Channel/Price ratio, DirectTVNow is cheaper. The UI of Sling is much better and the selection of "A-la-carte" is better. However, DirectTVNow gave me something I really loved... HBO for $5.00!... in addition DirecTVNow is recognized by a lot of apps as a REAL TV provider, meaning that you have access to OnDemand services that HBOGO, FOX, AMC, NBC and a lot of channels offer only to Cable or Satellite subscribers. Sling doesn't offer this. Another thing, if you have ATT unlimited, you get an extra discount on DirecTVNow.

[@ReviewsOrg]

HBO for $5 is the best! Glad you watched our video and thanks for the heads up on AT&T!

Sling doesn't show important games, for example the FIFA world cup game Argentina v France they didn't have it available, and i had orange+blue.

Sorry to hear that, Alex. I would check out this link: www.sling.com/world-cup and if that doesn't help, maybe consider DIRECTV NOW or another streaming service.

[@opprometheus]

You missed the most important aspect of choosing a service. What TV will run the app. For example. Direct TV Now does not run (no app) for Android TV's Sling/Playstation Vue/FUBO will not run (no app) on Samsung TV's. Number one selling TV in America. You can get an get a external device to perhaps make one work but that defeats the purpose of having a 'smart' TV.

[@vjhicks8533]

Like many others have said. PS Vue isn’t perfect but it has the best DVR. It’s FREE for one and recordings stay for 28 days. And it starts at 40 not 45. The highest basic package is 75 (which includes both HBO and Showtime). And the IP address restriction has changed. Also it has 5 streams. So if you have a family that’s a big plus. Directv now only has 2 and sling orange only has 1! I think your review is more “single person” focused rather than family focused. The instant you have more than one person watching that 25 sling rate is worthless and you have to go at least to blue for more people to watch. I’d also say Vue is probably the best for English sports. Their 45 Core package gets you all the ESPNs (Including ESPNU and EspnNews) Fox Sports channels to play local teams NFL network. Etc. for the equivalent for DirectV now you have to go to the 60 package (though you can get the ones most people care about for all the 50 DTV now package). All that said right now I’m testing directv now since I couldn’t resist the Apple TV 4K for a 3 month subscription. Its working well enough right now. But I remember my PS Vue trial being a little snappier. Also as of yet no dvr (I know it’s in beta, but rumor it will only be free for like 20 hours and you’ll have to pay for more to store more.). I like HBO and I’d have to pay more with Vue but by the time I get to a directv now package that has the sport I want the price for Vue with HBO is either only 5 more or 5 less. But worst case for 5 a month More I get 5 streams for my wife and 2 kids to use and a DVR. Plus we can all have separate profiles.

We are trying 3 services in our cord-cutting trials; KZbin TV > Sony Vue > DirecTV Now. KZbin TV's DVR is unbeatable .. their Grid certainly needs a massive improvement and they need a tier 2 Channel package plus offer HBO.

[@robertfrapples2472]

I don't know about the rest of you, but the deal-breaker with the existing streaming TV services can be summed up in one word- COMMERCIALS! I despise them. They're an assault on intelligence, especially when only one ad is played over and over. When I'm paying $40 per month on top of the $70 I already spend on internet, having to watch a plethora of commercials every time I want to watch a program is maddening. The fake "DVR" offered by streaming services is a lie. On most anything you've "recorded" that's worth watching, you MUST watch the commercials. If you FF over them, they stack them and make you watch them all at once in a series before your video continues! On a REAL DVR, you can FF over anything and resume watching instantly at the point you stop, without the PENALTY of having to watch a bunch of ads first. I hate to admit it, but cable seems the way to go. Nobody hates the giant bill worse than me, but I guess you get what you pay for.

[@kryptoniangl7381]

[@alabdel1388]

KZbin tv beats all of them....easily. If you were to try to get the same channels and dvr storage on sling tv that you have on youtube tv, sling would cost you around $60. For what you get, relative to the other services, its the most cost affective. Hulu was a pain in the butt..lol, sometimes the dvr worked and sometimes it didnt, and their grid (or lack thereof) was weird. Not exactly easy to channel surf...all the while you pay around $60 to get a package that covers what you get on Y TV for ($40). P vue is 2nd, but too expensive.

[@amb7247]

KZbin TV is missing too many channels to give it a recommendation. IMO.

[@alabdel1388]

Aaron Brown..makes sense. I think it depends on what your interests are. I mainly watch tv for sports and beyond that was just looking for the standard cable channels and all local channels to avoid having to get an antenna, for anyone who has those same type of interests its a great option since all that is covered.

[@amb7247]

Fubo.tv from what I read is made for sports. It's only in the past few months they have been heavily adding on other types of channels and have been adding profiled executives to help run their business. I've read some mixed feeling about picture quality so I can't give a judgement on that. We may do PlayStation Vue, it's slightly more but I feel like they offer many great channels and options.

[@alabdel1388]

Aaron Brown Fubo's actually pretty good, especially if you're a soccer fan. Only issue with it compared to Y TV is its a bit more expensive and doesnt have the minimal non-sports channels I would watch. I went though all the trial periods across the board..lol, if Fubo made some minor tweaks and dropped their price down just a little, they'd rank higher for me.

[@Jamari0903]

Yeah but does youtube tv have to run on WiFi for local channels or can you get those via your zip code? We don't have internet just our phones for hotspots...

[@kenyattaclay7666]

You all REALLY need to do better research before publishing your videos. In regards to PS Vue their entry package is $39.99 not $45. Also, you do NOT have to be on your home network to watch your programs and they made that change about a month ago and you published this video yesterday so there isn't an excuse for that. I will also point out when you said one of the other services had the best DVR and you could only have the program for 7 days. PS Vue you have unlimited DVR that is already included and it last 28 days, to me that sounds better than 7. There are some things that I don't like about PS Vue but I think if you are going to do a comparison of services you have to do better.

[@sirc625]

Still Beta testing the DIRECTV Now DVR. It's getting there. DIRECTV Now (DTVN) still has the best channel count next to PS Vue. Sling and PS Vue don't have Viacom channels (Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, etc.) which is a deal breaker in my house. However, DTVN needs to add more than 2 streams!

If you have a family, as many people do, you need 25$ package, you need dvr since on-demand is not robust. 30$, ok that 10$ cheaper than the competition, unless you want the good channels that you get in extra's package, you might was get the 10$ for 4 package deal. You could do with those channels people say, but that's what cable does. Cable has a skinny package, that lets you choose channels for 5$ each and multiple channels for a deal as well. Basically the realistic price is 40$; to be fair yeah for the young folks living alone its the best option, for everyone else the other services are better, if they had a good tv guide. That being said, I'm still getting it. Just in case I convince my family to do with less. Would be cool if you talk about the "TV everywhere" apps that come with it and how that works.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Good call on the "TV everywhere," I'll look into doing a video on that sometime. As for Sling's pricing, you're sort of making my point in a roundabout way. The thing I like about Sling's pricing is that it provides *options* for the consumer. Tons of options. Will most people probably end up paying about as much for Sling as they would for other services? Yes, probably. And like I said in the video, you can end up paying some seriously high prices for Sling if you get add-on heavy. But the low-cost option is there, and it will work for enough people that it's not just a gimmick. The whole idea of cord cutting (originally) was supposed to be putting consumers back in the driver seat, and I think Sling does the best in that way.

[@cryptclown]

thx quick response. Look forward to the next video.

[@sirc625]

The new DIRECTV Now version has been released! I think most will be pleased with the new look and DVR (I know FINALLY!!!).

[@ReviewsOrg]

We are so excited for the DVR!

[@Solosmooth]

I prefer KZbinTV!!! It has all the channels i watch. Unlimited storage and records everything!! No gimmicks not limits!! Yes even records ESPN!!! Has MLB network can record all the games!!! 28 days recording haha!! KZbin TV keeps your recordings for 9 months!!!

[@anthonyjanvrin6306]

Lesver... dude some sports leagues go though a whole season, then offseason, and then start playing again all in a 9 month period. Why the hell would you need your recordings for 9 months? Honestly, I'm really curious to know.

[@mattgursky5703]

Does it buffer though? I can bear through buffering in a baseball game but football and basketball season is around the corner

[@mattstimson3658]

KZbin tv would be great except for the DVR to VOD gimmick.

[@aurefmusic6311]

The best is BCE Premium TV. We are using it for a long time. Over 100 Premium Sports Channels ( Sky Sports, BT Sport, Bein Sports, Fox Sports, NBCSN, TSN, ESPN, ... ) only $15/month or $70/year. just search "BCE Premium TV" on Google you will find it easily.

[@mantlecollector]

Didnt like youtube cuz the channels is location based and i couldnt watch most sports games cuz it was out of my location. I could record it and i believe watch it later on which defeats the purpose of live tv

[@etoirandolph665]

Sling stinks, it freezes, buffers and gets glitchy. Directv now doesn’t have any issues and works great over cellular data. I had sling in 2016 and 2017 and it still has horrible glitches. These people must be paid by sling to promote them. Fake review! Propaganda!

[@Lexo400GS]

Bot

[@tails300]

wtf richard I have an even faster connection than that and all of those things happened to me too (with Sling TV)they haven’t improved their interface at all. It’ll literally crash or cut out 3 to 4 times a day that require a reboot, and the app is really glitchy and the menu is laggy. It’ll even pop up that it has no internet connection even though my TV is clearly connected and signal strength is strong.

[@Chaffdog]

I have a slow 25mb AT&T service and it streams Sling just fine without any freezing or glitching, it’s definitely not a Sling issue, more like your provider, no matter what your download speed is.

[@ThePoolSharkWizard]

Can you guys review Philo? I just discovered tonight and it has all the main (cable type) channels I like, just No Local or Sports and it's only $16 a month with a 30 day DVR. Thank you in advance, I may just try it out for 7 days free.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Yes, it's great if you're not a sports fan! We will add it to our queue.

[@Jamari0903]

Honestly I have philo now its biggest downfall is the no local. We stuggle as our only internet is our hotspots on our phones and apparently ALOT of companies won't do local on a phone which sucks...we went to philo top tier which is 20$ for everything...on our phone it rarely(almost never buffers) switching ALOT and has a good selection of channels. You can't dvr though just save your shows and then view what shows have been shown on t.v. so you dont have to worry about dvr,just finding your saved shows and watching. I find this both bad and good because of if you forget about a show...well...there's no way to remember

[@forsalecarvideos6147]

What about You Tube TV? That’s the best of the bunch!

[@ReviewsOrg]

I might be inclined to agree! Here's our review of YT TV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5uUZ2mti8mWhac

[@ritchienavarro2920]

Direct tv now

[@JUICEbaseball]

KZbinTV is the best streaming TV provider...

[@DrSciencex]

I beg to differ, this group has changed the game. Its worth looking into lol flixstik.com/live-tv-app-setup.php

[@AndrewFordham]

I don't really think there can be a "best one".It's like saying Chocolate is better then vanilla, Android is better than Apple etc.In the end,it comes down to which one works best for you.KZbin TV works best for me in my area.I like many things about it,but the thing that made me switch was all of my locals stream live(Atlanta)This is the only thing that let me cut the cord and puts it above every other service.I tried them all.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Hi Andrew! You are spot on. It really depends on what you watch, where you live and how much you want to pay. We give a recommendation based on the most channels, etc. for the best price. Glad to hear you have a streaming service you like!

[@masonmitch311]

Directv now needs hallmark movies and mysteries on high packages

[@ReviewsOrg]

I agree, I love Hallmark holiday movies!

[@banksj54]

Vue is $45 for their second package (1 above starting) and it offer's pretty much the same channels if not less than Sling's Orange+Blue $40. I am not seeing the hype around Vue. Really if you want to stop being a amateur get JesusBoxTv for $20 a month and have wayyy more channels then both. Again that is JesusBoxTv stop wasting your money

[@Joeki11a]

you talk about this like Sling provides internet service for you, Streaming people are paying 2 Different things for TV.

[@ReviewsOrg]

What we are assuming is that most consumers will already be paying for internet because they use it for other online services as well. If you don't want to pay for cable or satellite on top of that, Live TV Streaming options can be a cheaper, happy medium. Regardless, you still need to think of your internet bill as exactly that, a separate bill for internet.

[@rjmurphyo0]

Here is a novel idea, how about buying an directional 150 mile antenna and not pay anything weeeee! Also go to college or read a few books so you can be the smartest dude on your block.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Sloooow down there, Raymond. These ideas are just too 🔥!!

[@budfans]

just buy a dvd recorder for a hundred bucks and buy a stack of cds get hundreds of hours of tv recorded to hard dvd

[@MrRogermash]

cd's not dvd or bluray? ..That's numpty low res then.

[@bobber0623]

Sorry guys sling orange has gone up to 25

[@nicovarela9185]

Directv now is actually starting at $40 dollars now what a rip off

[@Tujae_]

Yeah I'm not happy about the price increase... It affects current customers too.

[@artdogg50]

Gloria varela I thought it was $35 a month? They have a $10 a month for 3 months deal with their basic package. $25 a month for 3 months on the next package. Basically $25 off any package.

[@aurefmusic6311]

Gloria, The best is BCE Premium TV. We are using it for a long time. Over 100 Premium Sports Channels ( Sky Sports, BT Sport, Bein Sports, Fox Sports, NBCSN, TSN, ESPN, ... ) only $15/month or $70/year. just search "BCE Premium TV" on Google you will find it easily.

[@Bizzmillah]

Philo wins for me. $15 a month. Enough said.

[@Jedi71]

Sling doesnt even offer all locals. PS Vue is the ONLY way to go.

[@ReviewsOrg]

Different streaming services work for different people! Glad you have found what works for you.

[@DMS-pq8]

PS Vue only offers locals in big cities, I live in a mid sized city of a hundred thousand and only my local CBS is on Vue

[@lisahoogvliet]

PS Vue rules!!!

[@sirc625]

I had it before I switched to DIRECTV Now. They lost me when they didn't renew their license agreement with Viacom. I wasn't crazy about the guide either.

[@lisahoogvliet]

Chris Busch ohhhh love the Vue guide!

[@TPRighteous]

And they just lost abc after it was live for 4 month...no real investment in their platform

[@NapStarDaTruth]

I live in Indiana and have ABC.

[@TPRighteous]

Steven Lane yeah champ I'm in the DMV and been with them 4 a year...some markets lost CBS and fox...when DTN gets DVR I'm out

[@rfif-vg8kw]

I just tried sling tv and quit right away. It is a good value but I am one of those people that like to use the Roku channel apps and most of them are not compatible. I am not a big sports fan so I go with Philo you get 37 channels for $16 or 46 channels for $20 no sports. Amc, A&E, Animal Planet, HGTV all those types. The main backers are Discovery, Viacom, and AMC. All Roku apps work with Philo. Check them out you might be surprised. www.philo.com .

[@janet9767]

DirectvNow has updated and SUCKS BIG TIME. I would not suggest it to anyone right now. I just paid for a month and oh i wish they had done the update beforehand. I would not have paid. Its AWFUL

[@jasonrorie4146]

Psvue is better than any think

[@BryantBaudelaire]

Directv Now is the best

[@BakedBeanieSigel]

The way they talk about money is so funny. They are out of touch with the majority. "It's just $20 a month" ..... Ha..."just" $20 aye?

[@ReviewsOrg]

Yeah, $20 a month can be super taxing for a lot of people. We say that within the context of what most people normally pay for TV services. $20/mo. is dirt cheap compared to $100/mo. for traditional cable or satellite TV. But when comparing it to Netflix or just free TV with an antenna, you're right, $20 can be steep.

[@alchemicrb]

Did they just pull this guy off the street?

[@ReviewsOrg]

Yes. He looked lost.

[@ericdraven7857]

They should find something else to do.

[@sterlmeister]

SHOW ME!

[@pmumina1]

WOAH! its boring to talking too much than show kind of stream services on TV

[@danieloathout6528]

PS Vue is th ebest by far.

[@ReviewsOrg]

We think PS Vue is awesome!! Different services work for different people but PS Vue is definitely up there for us.

[@anthonyjanvrin6306]

Reviews.org... nobody could tell by the piss poor review you gave. If you're being paid to amp the others up and just not say much at all about others then just say that. You'll get a lot more viewers when you are truthful about the bullsh*t we already know you're giving us. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your videos though. So I know what NOT to click on.

[@ReviewsOrg]

U mad bro?

[@anthonyjanvrin6306]

Reviews.org Not the least bit, more disappointed than anything. God I hope that wasn't a Richard Sherman reference. But if in fact it was, I'm a Boston (City of Champs) fan. I'm good 😉

[@ReviewsOrg]

Sorry you were disappointed, my guy... good thing being a Tom Brady fan helps you learn how cope with those kind of feelings. :P

[@mattgursky5703]

Sling tv is trash. I can’t even watch one quarter of an nba game without unbearable buffering even with top notch wi-fi

Hate Sling TV. No Fox news.

[@LTSRIDE24]

Why would anyone ever want to watch mainstream news!? They are doing you a favor, actually!

[@alchemicrb]

You might get that with their kids package

[@jdquadrider]

Not having Fox news propaganda is a plus in my book

[@LTSRIDE24]

John Dammann exactly. I block mainstream channels on my tvs to keep the BS out of my house & minds of the kiddos.

[@3ulogy]

DUDE RIGHT?! Even if you get the stupid news package it still only gives liberal media outlets, BULLSHIT

Cheap , but cheap channels, so waist of money sling

what is a "waist" of money ?
