Sling TV vs. DIRECTV NOW vs. fuboTV vs. PlayStation Vue vs. Hulu with Live TV vs. YouTube TV—Channel Comparison

We know that picking the best TV streaming service option can be hard—like, Bachelor-finale-who-will-he-give-the-rose-to hard. So we’ve compiled an updated overview of the various channels, premium packages, and add-ons that Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, PlayStation Vue, Hulu with Live TV, and YouTube TV offer.

If you’re trying to decide between The Walking Dead and Iron Chef, or between watching your favorite sports team play live and getting your Kardashian fix (it’s a thing), we have the lowdown on which TV service you should choose.

Sling TV packages, pricing, and channels

If you’re not picky about missing traditional cable, Sling TV’s affordable packages can save you dough on subscription TV.

Here’s the deal: between commercials and subpar local channel offerings, Sling TV’s plans aren’t perfect. But with an updated cloud DVR service and a variety of add-ons, we can’t help but like it—especially with how good the prices are.

One thing to note, though: Sling TV splits up the most desirable channels between two base packages (Sling Orange and Sling Blue). Because of this, if you’re torn between, say, ESPN and National Geographic, you’d have to get the most expensive package (Sling Orange+Blue) to get the best of both worlds.

Heads up, AT&T-ers: If you have the AT&T Unlimited Choice Plan, you’re eligible for a $15 per month credit on your DIRECTV NOW account. This would take the total cost of your DIRECTV NOW Live a Little subscription down to 20 bucks a month.

DIRECTV NOW packages, pricing, and channels

Nationwide coverage, solid channel selections, and decent on-demand options done right.

DIRECTV NOW’s streaming quality is so-so, as is its DVR, but it has tons of channels like ABC and ESPN even in its most basic package— and we think it’s decently priced.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that DIRECTV NOW offers premium channels add-ons like HBO for as little as $5 a month—a steal if we’ve ever seen one.

fuboTV packages, pricing, and channels

If you’re a big international soccer fan or are into niche sports, fuboTV is your plug for watching sports online.

fuboTV’s DVR capabilities and niche sports programming take the cake but be warned that it strangely doesn’t have ESPN, and you have to be cautious of misleading fees.

For example, the introductory rate for both packages is $19.99 for the first month, but then they’ll spike up to their original prices after the month is up.

PlayStation Vue packages, pricing, and channels

PlayStation Vue has steep rates, but its noteworthy streaming quality and DVR make it worth the bill.

You don’t actually have to own a PlayStation 3 (PS3) or a PlayStation 4 (PS4) to reap the benefits of PlayStation Vue’s high channel count and awesome playback features.

Hulu with Live TV packages, pricing, and channels

Hulu with Live TV gets you access to the largest volume of local channels nationwide and the original Hulu streaming library.

If you’re already a heavy Hulu user and love nostalgic throwbacks like Seinfeld, look no further. Adding Hulu with Live TV to Hulu’s already solid original content gives it an edge over competitors like YouTube TV, whose original content is, let’s be honest, only subpar.

Keep in mind, though, Hulu with Live TV comes with a frustrating user interface to navigate, and its add-on and DVR upgrade costs rack up fast.

If you’re a big ABC fan, know this: Hulu with Live TV has the best ABC offerings of any other service.

YouTube TV packages, pricing, and channels

YouTube TV is the best in the game for DVR, and its local channels are pretty brag-worthy, too.

Not only is it available in 85 markets nationwide, YouTube TV has unlimited DVR that lets you save recordings for up to nine months (it’s the only service that offers this, btw), and it’s more accommodating for multiple-home families.

Unlike other TV streaming services, YouTube TV allows you to create multiple profiles outside your home network. Plus, YouTube TV is killing it on the local channel front, so unless you live in the boonies, you should all be good to go.

If a show has aired anytime in the last week or two, the on-demand version will be available for a limited time on YouTube TV, but because its DVR lets you save recordings for up to nine months, there’s no rush to finish that rom-com you’ve been eyeing.

What now?

With all the options, it can be hard to choose.

If only one streaming TV service has your must-have channel, then your decision is already made for you. But if you still want to explore your options, we recommend signing up for a free trial—we did it, and it took all of two seconds.

Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, and YouTube TV offer seven-day trials, while PlayStation Vue offers a fourteen-day trial (excluding the Ultra Package). Pay attention to those end dates, though, as some of the services will charge you the minute you extend over.

Just so you know

Overall, we recommend DIRECTV NOW as the best for streaming movies. It has an awesome selection, and HBO or CINEMAX for only $5/mo.? Take that, Subway.

DIRECTV NOW’s SHOWTIME channel is actually SHOWTIME East, meaning broadcasts for the eastern time zone. SHOWTIME West is the same channel—it’s just time-delayed three hours to match Pacific time.
You can pair CINEMAX with HBO in PlayStation Vue’s in Max Pack for $21.99/mo. (versus paying $30/mo. for both).
Save $15 by coupling PlayStation Vue’s EPIX HITS package with SHOWTIME in the Premium Pack for $13.99/mo.

  Doh! Fixed that.

HGTV is also available on FuboTv…I’d delete that entire section of your review.

  Holy cow! Thanks for catching that. We fixed it.

Yes Doug, that’s our recommendation!

The interface caters to sports more, which helps you find what you want to watch quicker.

  Thank you Trevor!!

Might want to update this. fuboTV offers Food Network, LMN, Local NOW, PAC-12, they just got the CBS channels (some depends on your area), heard rumors they will be getting Showtime since it’s owned by CBS, with more channels coming.
Laurel Pearl-Gross

does direct offer on demand? To clarify can I view the most recent episodes of a particular show at anytime after the original airing?
http://dev-reviewsorg.pantheon.io/ Trevor Wheelwright

Hey Gio,
FuboTV expanded its American Football offering recently with NFL Network and a few others. Check out your subscription to see if any new channels were added (NFL Network was added to Premier for free), or if you see new add-on packs available to you at an additional cost.
Brent Norway

No, but you get more discounts if you do
GK

So far DIRECTV NOW is looking god but I need to watch the Red Sox season without going through Comcast NESNgo is allegedly a stream option but don’t know what to choose re: streaming offer. Any suggestions?
Matt

There are a bunch of channels Fubo gets that say “no” on this list. Fake news. Food Network, Travel Channel, NFL, Red Zone, Local Now, Weather Channel, Unimas, Universal Kids (sprout doesn’t exist anymore), Olympic Channel ( Universal channel doesn’t exist anymore), all Showtime channels, all PAC 12 channels, etc. This “ list” is a sham.
Carlos Nunez

wait direct tv now has BEIN sports???? since when??
Chuck

You have LMN and Lifetime Movie Network listed separately and some carrying one but not the other – aren’t they the same?
- Maria Millett
  
  Oh thank you for catching that! We will delete one of those.
Rich Oberst

Wrong. TNT and USA are both available in Sling Blue
- Maria Millett
  
  Thanks for letting us know, Rich!
Wyre

Update for your chart: DirectTVNow does offer TCM … on its least expensive tier. There are not a lot of “72 hr rewind” choices for previously aired films, and you can’t log in to the TCM app with DTVN credentials ( which may be the case with all streaming service accounts), but it does offer Live Turner Classic movies. That was a big selling point for me.
- Maria Millett
  
  Thanks for the update!!
Yovizna

DTN has now the ability of recording on the cloud. The article is accurate now. 3/2018
- Maria Millett
  
  Thanks for the update!
Maria Millett

Hi Randall! We are always updating our pages, we will add this one to our queue!
Jack Bish

I just cancelled ps vue because they didn’t have a&e. I still don’t see it in the channel lineup on their website.
Jim

All of these are off. I’m looking at this and the sites of the streaming services at the same time and you have yeses where there should be no’s and no’s where there should be yeses.
Froide

Thanks for the comparisons. This chart needs to things, though: (1) distinctions among Sling Blue, Sling Orange, Sling Blue+Orange, and those configurations’ associated Extras, and (2) monthly updates to reflect these services’ rapidly changing lineups.
Mary

When was this list last updated? Do not see where changes were made based on the comments made.

DirecTV Now does have Aspire, CBS*, CBS Sports, My Network TV*, NHL Network, Ovation, Pop, Reelz, Sportsman, TCM, Universal Kids, Up, and 4 add-on packages: HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Showtime. ESPN Goal Line and SEC+ was available last season on the app with DTV Now credentials.

Fubo has NFL Network and RedZone, not DirecTV Now.

Spike became the Paramount Network, Centric became BET Her, and Universal became the Olympics Channel. Comcast Sports channels were all rebranded as NBC Sports channels.

NBC Universo is the same thing as Universo.

When I was with SlingTV the cloud DVR was unreliable. It would “lose” my recordings (just disappear), or tell me the recording couldn’t be played. It was hit and miss. It didn’t matter from which OS I was accessing it. What good is a cloud DVR that you can’t depend upon? So far, Fubo seems to be working correctly.

This list if definitely out of date.

I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I need to vent my frustration about this entire industry. ALL of these options are fraught with deceptive and unethical practices. My latest attempt was to start a free trial of Fubotv – I bailed when Roku only offered the most expensive package when others were presumably available. You are never told the price until they think they have you hooked. I’ve tried SlingTV, DirectTV now and SliingTV again. Sling is mostly ok, but advertising itself as “a la carte” TV and only offering bundles is fraudulent. Apparently nobody knows or cares what the meaning of “a la carte” is. Skinnier bundles are not a la carte. A la carte means choose the channels you want. But the entire industry works on bait and switch – free or low cost offers, lack of transparent pricing, terms and conditions that NO HUMAN BEING ever reads or is capable of understanding. I understand how all of this is profitable – and it is us that permit this to happen. What I find hard to understand is how the people at these companies justify their behavior. It is unethical to take people’s money by deceiving them. And, to justify it because these services are better than the cable industry is a poor excuse – that bar is simply too low. I’ve even offered my cable provider to sign a 10 year contract at their currently inflated prices (my low cost initial offer expired a couple of years ago) and they are unwilling to do that. The entire industry thrives on our addiction to entertainment and our increasing stupidity and herd behavior which lines their pockets. I’m disgusted – can you tell? Does anyone else feel this way? Does anyone care any more?

  I feel your angst. I cut the cable about a year and a half ago and wish I would’ve done so sooner. I signed up for DirecTV Now at the 3 month promo rate of $30 per month, which was great! It then went up to the regular price of $35 per month, still great. A FEW months later and they announce a price increase to $40 per month, then a few more months ANOTHER increase to $50. I was ticked and complained to customer service. They cut me a little deal for a few more months. It is now called AT&T Now and low and behold, as of my next bill in November the price is increasing to $60! That’s double what I started within a mere year and half! I love the service for the most part, except the streaming keeps buffering and cutting out since it changed to AT&T for some reason, but I am furious at all these price increases! I’m researching the other services and finding they are mostly less expensive, but I am having difficulty finding one that has all the channels I want (which aren’t really that many). UGH. The greediness of these companies is so frustrating. At this rate, streaming will become as expensive as cable and defeat the purpose of cutting the cable.

Fubo gets AMC, ESPN, that list is not accurate.

Are there any streaming services that allow you to fast forward thru the advertisements when you have recorded after the show aired?

My experience with Directv Now, I found the service to be poor at best, especially at identifying my location to provide local stations and poor customer service. I switched to YoutubeTV and found the service to be much better and cheaper! I would highly recommend YoutubeTV for those who still want the cable tv type service.
