I have Hulu Live and I haven't had any issues with sports. The only downside is there is a delay, so someone may text you before you see a big play. I had to hide my phone during the AFC Championship game because of this.

    Very nice, I’ll give it a shot. It was worth it to me at full price so $7 will work. I’m in your blackout range as well: bravos, nats and o’s

    How long of a delay?

    30-45 seconds. I've noticed that with the ESPN streaming as well. Watched the Bedlam game on ESPN streaming at my brother's house and I was getting texts about plays that happened about 30 seconds before. Same with the Liberty Bowl.

    I was behind about 2 minutes for the AFC Champ game for some unknown reason, that's the only time it's been really behind.

    Does PS Vue have dvr? I don't see it on their site. We use that a lot, especially my wife.

    Honestly, we've thought about cutting the cord but it's really not justified as much anymore. It was going to save us something like $20 a month because internet is so expensive as a standalone.

    We have Hulu, password share Netflix with relatives, and were going to get YouTube TV.

    As much as I hate cable companies, I'll pay a $20 premium on quality/no buffering issues.

    Yes it does. I don't see it on the site either but I have the Core package and it definitely has DVR capabilities but I think they only last for 30 days. I rarely use DVR so I can't speak to that with complete certainty but it does come with it.

    Fwiw, it has a 14 day free trial if you want to check it out. Just make sure you remember to cancel it or it will automatically charge you.

    Also there is about a 30-45 second delay behind live TV.

    yeah its too early. Wait until Mid/late April. There will be tons of listings and you just pick the cheapest one. Extra Innings and MLB.TV is usually free for the first week or two of the season anyway.

    What's a cable company? Xfinity is a premium streaming service

    I loved YouTube TV for the 7 months that I had it. Unlimited cloud DVR. Every channel that I needed for sports. $40 well spent. I only dropped it because football and college basketball are essentially over for me. Will pick it back up in Sept, no doubt.

    Hulu tv hasnt given me any buffering issues for probably 9 months.

    Still use reddit nhl streams for penguins games but I havent regretted cutting the cable at all.
