Some aspects of streaming are still an advantage. Can cancel and rejoin anytime. No equipment. No waiting for the cable company to come drill holes or run wires in your house and they're not available til next Thursday. No extra fees to record, watch in HD, extra boxes for other rooms. No calling customer service on hold for 30 minutes to argue about your bill. No blackout times where you can't watch a channel while the cable provider is negotiating with the channel. On most, no commercials. Some services like Hulu live or Sling are kind of the model of a cable provider but with these cloud advantages. Couple of questions you might know the answer to: 1) If I ditch my cable and get Hulu live, what channels would I not get? A friend of mine said comedy central and that's it. But I watch FX1, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MLB network, NBA network, TNT......all for sports. Plus there's AMC, FX, Fox for shows. 2) My outdoor TV is not a smart TV (It's from 2008 and still has a great picture). Would I just have to use a blue ray player to connect to hulu live out there? 3) How does DVR work for a streaming service? Do I lose that completely?

You should be able to just get a fire stick or whatever. Even if the outdoor elements break it every year, it’s still a lot cheaper than buying a Blu-ray player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the live, I only have Plus which is available the next day. I'm sure their website would address what's available. They now have a package with Disney and ESPN, I'm not sure what all you get on ESPN. 2. Any TV that's not a Smart TV you need some type of device to get the streaming content. Blu-ray, gaming system, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku device, Google Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.. I have a Chromecast on my 2nd TV which like yours is older and not smart. Chromecast is cheap and plugs into the HDMI port, and you run it from the app on your phone. So any app you have that is compatible you just hit the Chromecast button and it starts displaying on your screen. You can do that with youtube, showing photos in your gallery, etc. not just TV streaming apps. 3. I don't know if DVR is available on Hulu, but streaming services are like the "On Demand" products in cable. You don't have to record them, they're just there and you can rewatch as many times as you want. It's just in the library. But things can also be removed, they will have certain contracts with content for a period of time. Hulu's website should have info about that if they have a DVR. There may even be some hacks out there you can find on how to record or download content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else yes. I might be able to get some of those if I pay more but I never watch them. 2. Yeah use a firestick or an xbox or something. We use an xbox 360 for the one in our 3 seasons room. 3. It's all cloud based. Works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent23 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Officially get into my Minnesota apartment the end of next week, so coordinating all my services. If I went streaming, AT&T TV would likely be a front runner as their channel guide is identical to DirecTV. Nothing infuriates me more than Comcast/Time Warner/Spectrum/etc. having ESPN be channel 376 yet in the next town over its channel 521 even though the same exact Technician installs the service in both freakin locations! However, DirecTV just gives me free programming so I am having a tech come by to get me connected to on the 26th. Less than $9/mo and I get 99% of the channels I would want, HD DVR, receivers in 3 rooms, can STILL use the TNT/MTV/NFL/ESPN/etc.etc. apps to "Stream" all the shows and live content if I want to watch on even more screens or devices. And HBO (due to AT&T cellular) service. But continue to tell me about how great your $50 a month fubo and sling and youtubetv are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably got well over 100hrs of HD programming recorded and maybe am at 50% full (it's still in storage, my stuff all gets delivered by movers next Friday when I get moved into my new apartment). I think it also allows 4 simultaneous programs to be recorded at once. I know back in 2008 when I first got DTV you could dual record but were forced to be watching one of those 2 channels.

Love it. Have had it for 3 years and I can't really think of something I'm disappointed in. Games have maybe a 6 second delay over what you would get from cable. A lot of times I'll get texts from Buddy's that are watching the game just after a play ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok. I thought you were a big cable guy and didn't want to switch to streaming. I know there's a bundle with Disney, Hulu and ESPN that might save money. We share our streaming with my sister-in-law. So we end up paying half the cost so that saves us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what did it for me, my satellite plan had 1,000 channels and a full DVR but I was watching stuff on streaming. Since I don't live in the area and can't get Philly sports here that wasn't a factor. I wish they would make streaming services for local sports, why hasn't anyone done that yet? I'd love to have a Philly sports streaming service with all the games, interviews, extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
