OT: Best streaming services

[StickyBun]

Ok, I know this has been discussed somewhat here before, but we're finally ready to cut the cord. Here's what we are looking for:

• Local stations
• Bravo (its the wife's only firm request)
• Ability to add NFL Redzone

We've looked at several: Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu, etc. Appreciate the feedback!

I really like what I saw from you tube TV until they gave up fox/balleys sports.  I ended up staying with direct TV since they slashed their package price down to about $70 a month.  For my fox sports was the break point,  if I couldn't get the wild and twins I would have been buying the NHL and MLB packages so that really covers a lot of my annual dish price right there.

YoutubeTV can meet your requirements @StickyBun . Jimmy's right though, no regional networks. There's no good way to watch local teams. To my knowledge no streaming service has those networks, though I could be wrong.
Best feature about YoutubeTV is the unlimited DVR. Record as much as you want, even simultaneously. Everything stays for 9 months and then is automatically removed.

My favorite feature of YouTube TV is one account can be used in two locations.  I don't need a separate account to access YouTube TV on the Roku at the lake cabin and using the home Roku.  If you have a vacation home, that's really nice when you can record at one location and watch it at the other.

More kudos for Youtube TV. Last night, on the same account, kid watched the Red Sox game on YTTV while at a friends, and I watched something else at home. The other thing I like is no contract. When football season is over, I just cancel it and re-up in August. I'm not a big TV watcher, so Netflix and Prime, plus the short clip news stuff available for free with Roku is more than enough for me in the off season. Also, as Pattersaur says, the way the online DVR works is just brilliant.

I too have Youtubetv. Like others have said, you can have multiple folks watching on multiple devices and get a decent amount of channels. The only things I dont like is there isn't a previous channel button and the guide isn't really the greatest. Other than that, I certainly recommend.

I have YouTube TV. I just stream hockey games and basketball games from my phone and cast to my tv when they aren't on my tv channels. My son loves that you can fast forward through commercials. It's crazy how much time you save.

None of the following will do what youre asking for:  Netflix, prime, hulu, disney, hbomax. I do think you can pay for redzone on prime. 

Not sure if thats helpful at all.

Youtube TV user as well, but I have 2 complaints.  The first is streaming on PC quality is terrible for me.  The second being the price keeps going up.  They want $20 bucks a month for their 4k package, which I did a trial of.  Come to find out, its like 5 channels....

Hulu.

All of the locals, Bravo, NFL redzone.  Super high quality, never drops or lags.

I have tested all of them over the last 3 years.  Trust me, Hulu was by far the most robust.   Not saying it's cheap, but it's got everything.
