I had Sling, now with HULU. I really hate the HULU guide and if you record on the shows I have recorded, you cannot always ff through the commercials. I chose it because it had Foxnews and the locals and use it at multiple locations. Sling was better, but I had the sports add on. I set my Parents up for Fox and the locals, they could not figure out the Fox app and the locals.
I had the DVR on Sling, but couldn't figure out how to use it. I haven't tried Youtube, but if they had the locals I would switch in a heartbeat.

Isn't this feature an extra $10 a month?

We have YTTV, and while you're only allowed 3 screens, we use it at the camp


3 screens wouldn't be enough to use at the camp and at home at the same time. But, that's probably what I going to go with unless there is a way to use a VPN connection and make it seem like my camp internet is on my home network.

I don't know what took me so long to hop on YouTube TV, but the fact that you can have 3 simultaneous streams means you could technically split their $50/month three ways. I got rid of AT&T Now (being grandfathered in one of their early promo deals) but I was up to $65+/month.

Saved me an easy $40/month.

Can't go wrong with any of em, I think. Depends on prefs. I can tell you with Hulu Live in Northshore/New Orleans area we get all locals except ABC26 as well. Check your local area and you might even get your local ABC affiliate there.

Sling TV seems to cost about the same (or a bit more) than both Hulu TV and Youtube TV when you add ESPN and a DVR option.

And.. you have to deal with the hassle of local TV channels.
Hulu and YTTV both have the locals easily included.

Only reason for sling seems to be if you can live with either of the $25 options... or if they have a channel that you absolutely have to have that isn't carried by the other two (in my case, Nick jr).

Every time I think I've made up my mind, I change it.
