Fubo or YouTube TV…

Looking at getting away from satellite tv(Direct TV). I live in the sticks and currently have a TMobile internet setup, works great for my needs. Looking at Fubo or YouTube Tv as a streaming service. Good reviews and good channel lineups on both.My main concern is catching college football. Both say they support local networks. CBS carries a lot of games during the season. Both also carry ESPN and the SEC network. I plan on trying YouTube Tv free trial before I dump satellite. Just wondering if anyone has a similar situation as mine and your experience with either if you’ve tried them. Thanks in advance…

I started to subscribe to “You tube Tv”, then I found out you can watch all the big football games on regular you tube. Including Georgia bulldogs. We just use a Rocky tv and a fire stick, no special streaming service at all.

Dropped dish tv in aug, i use hulu live. 50$ a mo first 3 mo, then 70$. 2 people, 10 devices on my xfinitl internet. Just got a warning txt from xfinity on data usage. Luckily the billing cycle is almost over. Iam quite happy w hulu live. Get college, nhl, nba, nfl. Live. If u hav unlimited internet i would try iit. Works great on my tcl tv, hav had a hiccup or 2 on my vizio. Nothing that unplugging tv cant solve.

Can’t go wrong with either one. Iv had just about all of them, and the 2 you mentioned are the only 2 I would spend money one. Not much difference in the two. I will say Fubo is much easier to access and edit your account. YouTubeTV is quite difficult and requires access to a desktop computer and a google/gmail account to edit changes to your account/cancel. Fubo is as simple as open the app and click what you want to do.

For the $ YouTube TV is great. Canceled Dish a couple months ago. I don't see anything difficult with YouTube TV but that's just been my experience. Highly recommended!

I don't think either has Bally Sports so you will miss most of the Braves if that is a concern.
Only one I found that has Bally is Direct Stream.
But I still have cable so I cannot comment yet.

I dropped cable a few years ago....went to DirectTV.

I became very aggravated when signal would be lost during wind or rain.....dropped DirectTV six months ago and went with YouTubeTV.

I've been pleased with YouTubeTV and it's amount of coverage. I did keep Netflix & Prime, too,.

YouTubeTV has the best video compression in the business. What that means is you get more reliable service on slower internet speeds.

I have Youtubetv and have been satisfied for the most part. No problems with college football but just like everything else gets hard to find something I want to watch.
LOT of hunting/fishing/shooting shows on YouTube.

And... A LOT of live classic concert footage on there if you like that kind of stuff.

I never have messed with the other ones much so I don't know.

My kids (now in their early 30's) only watch TV on you tube & streaming channels. They have no idea of what is on any regular network TV. They also don't listen to any radio. Interesting how media & entertainment changes over the generations.
