The first major live TV streaming service to give you an unlimited DVR and nearly every channel (outside of RSNs) you could want, YouTube TV is a favorite.
While Sling gets incrementally pricier, YouTube TV's access to NFL Sunday Ticket may entice people to buy or stay. However, YouTube TV is not without its own multiple price hikes over time that can make it somewhat pricey and problematic to stay with.
For
- Unlimited DVR
- Local channels
- Easy to use
Against
- Price hike to $83 per month
Sling may not have all of the broadcast networks and as many cable channels, but its lower entry-level price makes it a favorite for those looking to cut the cord on a budget. It's also super-customizable. But to get local networks and ESPN, you're paying at least $61 per month.
For
- Cheaper than rivals
- Flexible options
- Top networks including ESPN
Against
- Interface needs improvement
- Limited local channels
