Fubo Review 2024: Live TV & Sports for Cord Cutters

[@ShallIStreamIt]

🚨Sept 2024 Deal: Get $30 off Fubo AND a Free Trial: shallistreamit.com/Fubo *This is an affiliate link. I earn compensation if you make a purchase. UPDATE 1/11/24: All plans are going up by $5/mo & RSN is going up by $1/mo. With this change comes unlimited DVR and new channels in the months ahead, however.

[@TrishaMitchell101]

Is this 15% off just for one month?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

yes! sorry for the late reply.

[@erickestrada6782]

I prefer fubo rather than KZbin TV. Best value for your money 💰

[@williecunningham3725]

How are they better than youtube tv? They don't offer an UNIMITED DVR. Their on demand sports are not organized. Sling may even be better...talking Sports Only channels and on demand content and dvr cloud space.

[@antftwx]

The only thing stopping me from switching to Fubo is no TBS or TNT. Otherwise it looks like the perfect service for me. Guess I'll have to put up with KZbin TV for a little longer. All these price hikes and missing channels makes me wish PlayStation Vue was still around. :(

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Forgot about Vue- never got the chance to try it.

[@overview007]

Also no PBS

[@thehowman8567]

Yea I miss ps Vue

[@Dayna-Punky]

Don't get the free trial! They charge you even though you cancel the free trial! Im not the only one! Check their social media!!

[@khrisstake2210]

That's likely why they are not around

[@nickperkins8477]

Just a general note: my first diversion from cable TV only came in the form of a satellite dish(DirecTV). Fantastic variety, but every time there was a significant thunderstorm we’d lose service for a while. As a technology, for me, streaming is a marked improvement. Fascinating video!! I’ve always been interested in Fubo TV, but scared away by the price tag (and this BEFORE KZbin TV). 😂😂

[@BillTxn]

I find Fubo to be OK for streaming to my Roku. I am, however, having a lot of streaming issues with my iPad, as many channels simply do not load. To be fair, I am presently working with Fubo's tech support so there may be an easy fix for this issue.

[@terrencehill7309]

I might have too invest it since I’m from Philly and live in another state this would help be able to watch all my Philly sports teams

[@mikethees6434]

FYI NBC Sports Philadelphia was on last night just in time for a phills clinch not on today boo

[@nickperkins8477]

I LOVE the sound of Fubo’s DVR feature. It sounds like they have DVR technology and appeal figured out far better than any of their streaming competitors do.

[@ShallIStreamIt]

They will be upgrading to an “unlimited DVR” soon, too.

[@nickperkins8477]

@@ShallIStreamIt that’s fantastic. I’m getting my sports streaming fix from BR Sports on Max and probably the full service ESPN streaming Disney will add to Disney+. I think that will probably include basketball, SportsCenter, easier to stream baseball, and a lot of what is hamstrung with cable networks on ESPN+ right now. But, if BR on Max or ESPN within Disney+ is a letdown, I’ll keep Fubo in mind. My Dad was saying he doesn’t think next year’s ESPN In Disney+ will include basketball, but I think it will. Linear ESPN absolutely shows loads of basketball, and Disney knows where ESPN+ is lacking.

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

Great review and breakdown of the pros and cons. Thanks!

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chad1980]

I do have Fubo TV and I do enjoy it! Not having TBS, TNT, and TruTV really sucks because I cannot watch the NHL playoffs or the NBA playoffs. I wasn't able to watch a lot of the March Madness as well. Fubo really needs to get this figured out.

[@rickwiese5438]

I love Fubo. It's so easy to use. Plus it carries those RSNs. But not having the Warner channels is a huge drawback for me as well (and it's not like they dropped the price when they dropped the rest of the Warner channels recently). I'm thinking of giving DirecTV Stream a try since it has my RSNs and a full channel lineup. More expensive, but at least it has everything I want.

[@larrysmac]

Save your money. fubo will eventually bait and switch you.

[@SpencerDean14]

quality difference when streaming sports? I've used KZbin TV in the past but want to use fubo for this nfl season

[@ShallIStreamIt]

I'd say quality is about the same but take note that if you want 4K resolution, you need the 4K plus add on with YT TV or the "Elite" plan with Fubo

[@geraldbargo1916]

I just tried to cancel my fubo and then they gave me 65.00 off next months bill so I will stay for now

[@blackobsidian0]

still very confused so if i buy fubo can i give my friend who lives in another state the login for mine and we can be watching at the same time ?

[@Vhabbott]

With Bally Regional Sports going bankrupt after their 2024 commitments. What will FUBO go without Bally? Is there an equivalent Regional Sports Network?

[@benbrady4289]

Oh, my goodness. They list games and then have something else entirely different showing. When you call to let them know, they can't give refunds and suggest you contact the channel causing the issue. That's it Fubo. I'll find another way to watch the games. $75+ is too much for premiership games.

[@hawkeyejohnny968]

I was paying quarterly for the last three years with auto pay. Today I turned the tv on and received a message my subscription had expired. It seems the package I subscribed to has been discontinued so they just shut you off. Guess what fubo, something would have been better than nothing.

[@larrysmac]

At least you got 3 years out of them. They just lost my business for the same bait and switch BS after only 90 days. And then they have the nerve to offer a new plan for twice as much! Furthermore, all I'm left with is another 'free' trial with nothing but oddball channels on the level of public access TV (Wayne's World). And, I can't get my channels back, or even access my account info unless I subscribe to the new plan.

[@tobyzech9570]

We travel to Mexico every years for several months. Am I able to watch Fubo from Mexico or is blocked for those out of the country like most of the other streaming platforms?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

I don't think they allow it- would most likely get blocked if you tried to watch out of the US.

[@HwnDragon1]

I just want NFL games 😮

[@CrowdPleeza]

I've noticed people pointing out how Fubo,Sling and other similar services don't have certain channels that they want. Will these services have to eventually add more channels to provide enough content for a wider variety of people?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

I think it’s a compromise- the more channels they add, the more expensive everything gets.

[@prmayner]

I was A LOT happier when I could watch 7 channels and the Dodgers 3 or 4 times a week on kttv for free. This crap/horse dung nowadays is nothing but GREED TV. No thank you to all of it. If it ain't free then I guess I ain't watchin it.

[@bc_usa]

Nothing in life is free.

[@t.k.morris]

10/23/24 I have Fubo and like it, but I want to get TBS, TNT and Tru channels. Can anyone recommend the least expensive way to get these channels also?

[@kevingoehring5877]

Are there ads with fubo? I am assuming there are. Are they as abrupt as KZbin TV and Hulu plus with live TV?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

yup- there's ads on the live channels but if you record you can skip past them

[@warrencrescenzo9569]

Can you get programs from area cities?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Anything from the local broadcasters in your zip code (CBS, FOX, NBC, & ABC) including local programs, news, etc. is typically available but to double check you can plug in your zip code on their website to see local channel lineup.

[@chrismahfouz7709]

We have a Vizio (smart tv). I’ve not figured out how to record anything even though I’ve seen the record option and tried to use it-doesn’t record and gives an error message. Also how in the heck do you get out of LIVE mode now? Sometimes one doesn’t want to jump in and watch a movie that’s already in progress (and it doesn’t allow one to go back to the beginning of the show or movie).It seems like they changed some things recently. We now have to back completely out of the app in order to change channels within the FUBO app which is frustratingly slow and cumbersome. Surely there’s another way. I like the app contents -a good fit for my husband and I but navigation could be better.

[@nickperkins8477]

Yes. Disney is putting Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network into Disney+.

[@Freedom.1776]

Thank you for this video! Very informative

[@desrewop]

Very helpful. how about old non-smart tv? Are the issues presented also true for directv subscribers.

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful. For an older TV, you would need to connect a streaming device like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV stick. Haven’t tried out DirecTV Stream but plan to do so soon & make a video. While DirecTV Stream does have TNT, TBS, & truTV on some of its plans, the customer experience I’ve heard is more mixed. I’ll try it out and keep an open mind then report back! 🙂

[@ItzMeNike]

Yes if you're just watching TV. But what about home internet. This is were Xfinity is better. Your TV & Internet can be bundled thus pay little more than Fubo but cheaper in terms of bundle deal

[@randymajor6571]

can i watch any out of market nfl games i want?

[@jimdandy56jd]

I notice that HGTV is no longer on Fubo's channel lineup, as you show on your screen capture. My wife must have HGTV... 😪

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Yeah the Discovery-owned channels got removed as a result of a carriage dispute. Made a video with some more details about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGTTfauHhr92i7M

[@KevinLeMaster]

I'd appreciate an update to this video. After losing the Discovery/WB channels and not having the AMC group and Turner channels, that's more than 30 channels I don't have that I used to get on fiber optics. I'm sorry, Tastemade and The Pet Collective are not adequate replacements. And some of these channels are not really channels at all...they only show certain events and are idle most of the time. I cut the cord to try and save money, but I feel ripped off by Fubo and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

[@rockymtnman1760]

1st time cord cutter. So far, been thinking Fubo is the way to go? Thanks

[@leswidner632]

A&e and history are on friendly tv. They're my favorite channels.

[@patriciarunion]

How to setup on my smart tv

[@williecunningham3725]

If your smart tv has app library like mine did, but did not have every app, then you are gonna need either Roku, fire stick or other streaming device to locate the Fubo app....

[@daves9355]

They ruined their app with the latest update. Massive change to the interface which is dreadful. Not sure how they could intentionally make such a bad decision.

[@chefbrooklyn5140]

@daves9355 you are so DAMN RIGHT Fubo messed up a good thing with the new upgrades no more fan view and a whole bunch of stuff and when you call customer service all a person get is a whole lot of talking points and word salad.

[@johnpinner1]

Dose they stream the European cup? And copa America? In July ??

[@jdigeronimo16]

[@abrahamyoung4649]

When are they adding TNT back I need to watch movies and games there

[@bubbadude316]

Can I share it with my friend in a different city ?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

So with Fubo, you must designate one location as your "Home Network." If you try to share your account with someone outside of your home, you might run into some issues. Here's some info from Fubo: support.fubo.tv/hc/en-us/articles/360045622272-What-is-my-Home-Network

Is it possible to use the 7 day free trial and cancel after 7 days and not be charged?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

Yes- if you cancel BEFORE the end of the 7 days you won’t be charged.

[@dylanwolfe4121]

@@ShallIStreamIt thank you! Any idea how to cancel? I’m guessing it’s in their settings

[@ShallIStreamIt]

You’re welcome. It’s in the settings or you can contact their support chat.

[@ubermike412pgh9]

Your video is very informative. Thank you. My question is, can I hook fubo up to my smart TV without a fire stick or apple TV?

[@ShallIStreamIt]

You can download the Fubo app directly onto to your smart TV without an external device. Here's a list of the devices/TVs that work with Fubo: support.fubo.tv/hc/en-us/articles/115002183228-What-devices-can-I-watch-Fubo-on

[@AS-rw7rf]

Is fubotv real time, or a lag in streaming. Is it a minute or or more delay from regular cable, since it’s not original cable?

[@patbates1763]

No amc AMC are ame wow i cant on that

Fubo new update made a great app HORRIBLE. When you call are when you write a review to complain about the service all the customer service person do is give you is talking points and word salad.

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

Fubo quality is hit or miss. Some channels are nice, but others look so compressed it’s better to watch on a lesser tv. As long as you take that into consideration, it still sucks! Ha. 😂. Sorry, but as others pointed out, they screwed up the app a while back and it’s been slowly improving but very buggy. Not worth the money, but it’s a necessary evil in our house. 👿. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

[@timaweyyne]

[@garlandstyle5797]

This is so close to my cable price, AND they add and drop channels randomly, and you still have 95% channels you'd never watch? Not much different from Cable. Not going to consider FUBO. Sorry. Gave you a thumbs up though.

[@Three003]

👍

[@aladinsarsipeus]

its 79.99 for pro now😡

[@williecunningham3725]

That is high and with that $13.99 added local fee even higher. I may get it for 1 month to test again to see if it has improved over the years. I loved youtubetv, but when that price shot up I headed for the door! I may get it for early spring baseball and then get rid of it again!!!!

[@walkingmiracles9706]

fubo was great then it lost thr WB CHANELS

[@spaceghost4474]

I just can't seriously consider FUBO any more because they don't have any Turner networks, and they dropped AMC and A&E programing, while raising their prices, and on top of that, they ram the cost of the RSNs down your throat. IMO they are too expensive and offer to little. They dropped all of the quality programming, and only carry a bunch of garbage channels. You can't watch March Madness because of not having the Turner networks.

[@JohnnyReno71]

No turner channels , they charge sports fees and the cheapest package is $75 NO WAY!!

[@robertingram2820]

Does FUBO still not yet have 5.1 Sound??!! Deal breaker for me yet no mention...

[@ShallIStreamIt]

To the best of my knowledge, no. I emailed their customer support just to confirm and I'll update if I hear back. It's looking like KZbin TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV Stream do, though. Sling offers 5.1 on some of their on-demand content but nothing live. I don't have the set up for surround sound so hadn't looked into it before- thanks for asking!
