Best Live TV Streaming Services & Plans for 2026!

About sling and peacock?

I was really interested in the DirecTV MyNews Genre Pack until I discovered it does not include my local CBS station. Weird.

I’m back with YTTV and I’m loving it so far

Typical YouTube tv ripoff

Friendly tv basic 7.99 per month 😮wow

It's draconian that this is what LIVE TV has become. Greed supersedes access and all channels are behind a paywall.

No option in Sports for UCI Pro Cycling

Really looking for international football, specifically EPL and Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup. Which it doesn’t look like is included in YT Sports.

My mom wants an alternative to YouTube TV but idk what to do. She watches a variety of shows and very little sports (mainly Superbowl or whatever).

I looked I don't see these plans or prices .

HBO 4k movies- 20 bucks- MGM7 4k movies 7- bucks- --------- Would gladly pay a medium price point of $14 for a Movie Channel that offered 4k movies

Hulu Live TV just went up again !! My charge was just $95 !! Going back to YTTV next month.

What about the IPTV services that are "Legal"? Buddy of mine has it, pays $30 a year for Every Single Channel Available known to man.

Not sure why Hulu Live doesn’t get more love, I like the channel lineup better than YouTube TV, especially since HL has the History channel and YTTV doesn’t.

I don't like sports also YouTube TV .Do not have anything plan but TV basic plan.Who's got time to watch all in channels.

Michael you need to start letting people know that DirecTV is far superior to YouTube TV from an interface perspective, as well as performance. The subscribers numbers drive me crazy because DirecTV is such a better product. Stop signing up for YouTube TV just cause everyone else does!

NOTE I have sling, I was looking to get the 3 day pass but found that the wwe event was not available because it didn't provide the unlimited one 3 day pass.

Hey Michael, what is the most affordable plan that includes ESPN unlimited. Just trying to add this because of the wwe content on special events. I saw 35.99 with hulu and Disney pluss. What do you think is my best option. Pls make a video with your expertise on this thanks.

I have been with sling for a while now. I still think that's the best value for sports. they have nfl redzone and MLB network and NBA tv and the tennis channel and to me I absolutely have to have the NHL network.

2 weeks later still any difference youtube plans...if it launches it should be everybody not just certain customers.... they had enough time to fix everything it should be for all customers

How do you subscribe only to the new Entertainment Package. I don't see it on their website,or understand Settings in the app.

Spectrum has the best they give you everything especially if you have that one gig of service of Internet

Spectrum still has the best package especially for people who have their one gig of Internet service

Michael how about giving us a video
and your opinion on the new Fox1 ESPN streaming service.

Thank you Michae for all the research. Either you or someone could please help me?
How can I see the plans on YouTube TV? I mean, on their website I can only see the main one. And if I sign in it just prompts me to my profile since I’m already a member.

Step-n-Fetchit must be doing the YoutubeTv rollout😅

just buy vcee box

As far as locals , if you have a Roku TV aren't those already free on the Roku chanal ?

This is such a waste of money, calculate it over 30 yrs, $50/mo = $18,000 you will NEVER see. No, thank you.

I'm glad to see plans with no sports included. We only care about our local university football team and have season tickets for that. Now we can save paying for what we don't want.

I had DirectTV Now or whatever it was called years ago as a streaming option and the quality was AWFUL, has it been fixed or improved any since? It was always lagging for me.

A real newbie here. I just want to watch tennis matches on espn, what option should I choose?

YouTube tv is overpriced garbage.

So much of it panders to sports. I do not watch sports on a regular basis so I do not need it on a plan. I would like local and some new channels and really nothing else but that seems to no exists unless you want to pay 50 to 80 dollars per month. I used to hate cable and cut the cable long ago to save money. I now pay more between bundles and add on plans. so I guess I need to just go dark and learn to stop watching TV so much

What stand alone apps do u use?

Im really out of the loop. Ive had Direct tv for years, no internet, and its $200 a month. Way too much for the amount of tv we watch. So do these steaming package prices include internet or is that a separate bill? I just want what i watch, and sports during football season.

What is most important to me is picture quality. None of these reviewers ever mention it!

Do you ever talk about streaming video and audio quality of these services? That matters to me. If I'm watching something on my 4K home theater setup, I want to have the best quality video and audio. I'm still using Dish Network as my TV provider, because they have it all; 4K channels, and EVERY channel is in Dolby Digital 5.1 or better quality. But, most channels are in 720p or 1080i still, so I would consider switching to streaming TV if the video was at least 1080p and higher, and was in 5.1 sound. I've looked into this for a few services, and they don't list any of this. Even if you chat with their help bot.

Any info you can provide would be helpful! (Future video idea?) Thanks!

There is no best plans. There all high and not worth what you are paying for.

I just want to subscribe to YouTube tv so do you have all this crap on? Where do I sign????

I went to cancel my Fubo Sports + New subscription today and found a $40 retention offer waiting for. You're darn right I'll take it for $16!

It is taking them so long to offer the new cheaper plans
