All the streaming services use tech that drops frames and buffers in order to provide a most consistent picture quality.

Make sure you look at PS Vue. You don't need a PlayStation to use it.

Check out Roku with Plex and YoutubeTV. IMO that’s the best option

Some good resources:

I’ve used both YouTubeTV and PSVue With Apple TV. Both are fine.

The doc just gave me the scissors and told me where to cut.

I’m planning on cutting the cord also, I bought a tv antenna

I think you need a tv subscription to watch games on ESPN app.

Is $44 internet fast enough to stream multiple devices?

byu1

7/17/19 6:56pm

Each stream is probably 5-10 mbps.

El Jefe

7/17/19 7:07pm

3 people. No gaming. That enough?

byu1

7/17/19 7:13pm

If you have Fiber it is.

BYUtka

7/17/19 7:17pm

We get 25 mbps for that. It’s plenty for us.

KingDave

7/17/19 7:18pm

I get 60 mbps and never have a problem streaming multiple devices. $45 w/Comcast

I'm planning on going back to cable. I'm mostly sick of stream delay.

TCuz

7/17/19 7:10pm

That’s what kept me on cable for so long. But, I’m impressed with YTTV. Have you

rainorsnow

7/17/19 8:08pm

No. Is it literally no delay or like no delay?

TCuz

7/17/19 8:11pm

That’s how I am. I’m on Twitter, CB, texting with people during games and I

I’ve been trying to spoil myself by testing it on this Yankees-Rays game on YES

This is what I did- Changed from Cox.

PJMort

7/17/19 7:11pm

Wow

byu1

7/17/19 7:23pm

looks like Cox is $67 for 30Mbps and $84 for 150

byu1

7/17/19 7:47pm

$84 for 150 seems high. I get 1GBPS for $90 with Att.

Natedog916

7/17/19 7:53pm

I get 1Gbps for $65 from CenturyLink

scootsy

7/17/19 7:55pm

Oh nice. That’s a really good price.

Natedog916

7/17/19 8:05pm

Direct TV internet is through Century Link

PJMort

7/17/19 10:01pm

Don't forget the discount of cancelling/pausing during the offseason

El Jefe

7/17/19 8:02pm

how did you decide on youtubeTV vs hulu and others?

byu1

7/17/19 10:12pm

I went to each's website and looked at the channels provided by the main options

Powerbait DPM studnt

7/17/19 10:18pm

like how they have more channels, stream on more devices (3vs2) & DVR unlimited

byu1

7/17/19 11:35pm

Supposedly, google and amazon are resolving the conflict and YouTube TV will be

Powerbait DPM studnt

7/18/19 6:37am

When I made the switch YouTubeTV had a deal going.

PJMort

7/17/19 10:19pm

suppose.tv tells you what service is cheapest for the channels you want

El Jefe

7/17/19 11:36pm

I just want all the channels that BYU football games are on.

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

7/17/19 7:21pm

With Hulu (just the service, not the Live TV package)

StantonMac

7/17/19 7:27pm

It has good original programming as well.

Natedog916

7/17/19 7:37pm

Lots of people get more internet than they need

We cut the cord two years ago. Here's what we did.

Adrielle

7/17/19 8:46pm

If you started streaming in 4k you would blow through that cap in no time.

Bluedarts

7/18/19 10:24am

I had Directv, and went to Directv now. Only saved $50/mo.

tjngirlz

7/17/19 9:03pm

I'm in the same boat. I don't know if it's the best but I'm grandfathered in with an awesome package

Cheesy Gordita

7/18/19 7:22am

Me too. Hard to give up. My package started at $10/month. It's about to move to $25

TCuz

7/18/19 7:25am

I went from YTTV to DirectvNow, can't stand the app for DTVN, it is so bad compared to YTTV. I will probably switch

Bluedarts

7/18/19 10:21am

50 mbps internet +youtube TV should do the trick.

Powerbait DPM studnt

7/17/19 10:00pm

No other internet service around here so I need to pick 30 or 150

byu1

7/18/19 12:15am

Best thing that happened to cities surrounding Provo was Google Fiber

Adrielle

7/18/19 7:31am

Hasn't done much for Lehi, we desperately need more ISPs.

Bluedarts

7/18/19 10:22am

I think it only affected the cities close to Provo

Adrielle

7/18/19 8:05pm

I cut the cord outside of football season

Reedme

7/19/19 11:05am

Sorry, but the a la carte pipe dream that you (and many others) hoped would

rainorsnow

7/19/19 1:29pm

I'll take ala carte channels . . .

Reedme

7/19/19 3:35pm

these companies are unlikely to just let people pick which channels they want.

rainorsnow

7/19/19 3:56pm

If a streamer would have a "sports only" package. Do you think they'd be able

Powerbait DPM studnt

7/19/19 5:31pm

There is actually a true a la carte streaming option where I live. My ISP

rainorsnow

7/19/19 5:36pm

That does sound a lot like it . . .

Reedme

7/19/19 5:46pm

Spectrum keeps calling me ever since I cut their cable cord to try and get me

rainorsnow

7/19/19 5:53pm

I also think that these high prices are a result of these ridiculously high

Powerbait DPM studnt

7/19/19 5:27pm

I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Go (I'm an AT&T customer with a qualifying unlimited plan, so it's free)
