Best tv service for watching live tv

[Jessica4Bama]

I am moving this month and am currently trying to find out what tv service I want to go with. I have many shows I like to watch on my local stations on NBC, CBS, etc. I also have to have live sports. I have to be able to watch my football and braves baseball games and golf (especially the majors that usually come on NBC or Fox). I thought about getting Directv or ATT Uverse, but have started looking at some streaming services like YouTube tv. I am used to Directv and would love to still be able to record all my shows and watch when I can and to be able to fast forward and pause live tv like I can with Directv. I don't however love the price I have to pay to be able to get some the channels I like to watch.

I am not used to this streaming tv business, but it might be an option for me and something I can get used to. I'm just curious what you all use and what you would recommend.

Also, if I do get Youtube tv and watch the Braves games, would I still be listening to the Braves announcers or would it be some youtube announcers? I watched a Braves game online last season on youtube and I didn't like the announcers on there. I prefer listening to the everyday braves announcers.

And how strong of internet connection will I need?

We just went through this the last few months. We settled on a combination of hulu live and philo. We get channels between the 2 that has what all my family watches. Plus local channels. We are very pleased and saving lots of money too compared to what we had.

just a FYI. Hulu doesn't have AMC.

Cable, but it is more expensive.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

I usually only watch CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, ESPN (all of them), Hallmark, ID, Oxygen, Food Network, HGTV, TNT, TBS, TLC, QVC. I just have to have my live sports and be able to record so I can watch later.

I would get Charter or Xfinity but it is not available where I am moving. I think Mediacom is the only cable option.

In my NJ home, service electric is the only cable option. Tiny company, but better than the internet services around there.

For internet I will be getting ATT fiber. That is why I considered uverse

No Hallmark on Hulu. It is why my mom won't get it.

I left ATT Uvision on their next to the last price increase. My service went from $139 to over $200 in one month.
I went to YoutubeTV and a Roku Stick.
It took about a week to get used to the change.
I paid about $50 for the RokuStick + and I pay $50 a month for Youtube TV. Great service and more than $150 a month less than ATT...
I wish I had done it a couple of years ago...
Come on in, the waters fine...
Cut The Cord.

I am able to forward through commercials, record all my shows for later viewing, and pause live tv like Directv, correct?

And I am able to watch shows on CBS or NBC the same day they air, correct?

You can also get a digital antenna for local channels. Check with AT&T to see what kind of deal they will give you if you bundle everything. I have U-Verse and just can't make myself cut the cord. Good luck.
