Just recently went with YouTube tv. They have where you can watch 4 games at once. I've died and gone to Heaven. How did I not know this before?
Youtube tv
- Thread starter Boyd94
- Start date
They do that with NFL games also with the Sunday NFL package, and unlike Direct TV, they use your whole TV screen for the games where Direct TV would use about 25% of the screen for advertisements etc.
Yeah, it was great early in the fall when you could watch MLB playoffs and Sunday night football at the same time.
We're getting ready to deep six DirecTV. I considered YouTube but they don't have the History Channel (at least in our area they don't) so that was a non-starter. Looking into Hulu though.
I’ve had both and I actually prefer Hulu live to YTTV. Only better thing about YTTV is the quad streaming and NFL Sunday Ticket (if you choose to purchase). For stock standard streaming, I liked Hulu more. Same with the mobile app
I’ve had both too and prefer YouTube tv. It’s preference at this point tbh.
I love my YouTube TV…you can get the frndly tv app for like $5 that has history channel
Switched to YouTube TV about six months ago and it was the correct decision. We love it.
Agreed. Gotta have the History Channel!
That's what I do. Then if it's a close game on one of the other ones and we're in timeout, I'll just mute our game.
Wait till March Madness 4 games on at the same time and can watch all 4 of you choose. Love YTTV
Hopefully DirecTV has improved. It worked great when the skies were clear and sunny but dropped signal EVERY time it rained. Was so glad when that contract was up.
Same here, switched last summer just prior to the games in Canada.
That's gotten better plus you can switch over to non-HD to keep watching a show for a lot of channels. It's the crazy cost.
Ditched Directv after being a customer for over a decade a little over 4 years ago. Best streaming service there is.
I drop Direct TV about six months ago , price would go up at random and I would
Call and complain and they would give me
Some kind of special and drop it and then when in four or five months it would be back to the same price . When I called the last time and said I was canceling it they made yet another attempt and I said nope . UTube TV is great I think
You might check out Philo as a supplement if you like the History Channel. It has no sports but has channels like History, American Heroes, Smithsonian. Animal Planet, several movie channels, old tv with DVR and a nice interface for $25 a month. I find myself watching it most of the time when there isn't a game on.
I've tried all the streaming services and IMO YouTubeTV is the best of them.
This is the only thing keeping me from dropping Dish. There are times when I only want to watch 2-3 games and have something like The Office or Seinfeld on the 4th screen.
I have YouTube tv but I don’t know how to get 4 games at once. Would you please explain it to me ?
Should show you the multigame feeds right from your home page when you open the app
We have hulu+livetv and we hate it. It was good initially. There are times when the volume is way to wonky. It'll get really loud or low volume at random times. The "tv" or "home" feature used to show everything live at that time. Now it only does it sometimes. We're going back to cable for the better picture and no random buffering. Fwiw, our internet is FAST. Hulu just sucks anymore. I have to reboot it a few times a week as well. Screw internet tv. I'm done with it. It's also $90 a month now compared to the $45 we were paying just a few years ago.
I'm just tired of internet tv. Cable, at least in my area, is cheaper plus a much better pic. We may give youtube a trial run but hulu sucks. Just my opinion.
I’ve had Sling, YTTV and Hulu. I prefer YTTV over the other 2.
Love the multi view feature and the unlimited DVR/ability to record many shows at once.
For March, especially conference tournament week, I will bring a smaller TV to the living room beside my recliner and multiview on the big TV and put another game on the little TV. When UK plays, UK game on big TV, multiview on the little TV. Can’t wait.

I don’t know if you’ve never tried YouTubeTV or what, but it doesn’t feel like “internet TV” as you describe it. The picture quality is awesome, plus some sports broadcasts are available in 4K now. As good picture quality as anything I ever had with Directv.
Also, YouTubeTV has a feature were you tecord your favorite teams and it will always record them and no matter how long the game goes
