Best TV streaming service: YouTube TV vs. SlingTV vs. Hulu vs. PlayStation Vue, and all the rest
Which streaming TV bundle is the best deal for cord cutters? Our head-to-head reviews hash it out.
It’s great what a little competition will do. Ever since cord cutting became a genuine trend, TV networks and pay TV providers have scrambled to bring their channel bundles to the internet.
But with more competition comes more confusion. Between Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, FuboTV, and Philo, prospective cord cutters who still want a bundle of traditional TV channels have a lot to consider before making the leap. And while these services tend to be cheaper and more flexible than cable, each comes with its own quirks and caveats.
Update February 26, 2018: As a result of YouTube TV undergoing a number of improvements, becoming available on more streaming TV hardware, and in more markets, our opinion of the service—and the competitive landscape overall—has changed. We now think YouTube TV is the best TV streaming service overall, which knocks Sony’s PlayStation Vue into the runner-up position. We’ve also added our full review of Philo to this roundup.
