Who has it? Who likes it? If you don't like it, why? My only reason for not cutting the cord before is live sports, mainly college football and the NFL. My current cable bill is getting out of hand. Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

I have YoutubeTV which is a comparable product for $40/month. I only use it to watch sports games and occasionally cable news. Benefit is you can cancel anytime so is month-to-month

I had it about a year ago. It was fairly new then and very buggy. I have very fast internet, but every live sports event I watched constantly paused to buffer. Absolutely maddening. Ended up being a bad experience and I went with Sling for 12-18 months. Changed to YouTubeTV about 3 months ago and love it. It’s a big step up from Hulu and Sling in my opinion.

One last thing - all of these services offer a free trial. Sign up for all 3 and see which fits your needs best. It was a breeze to cancel. You don’t have to sit on a call with a cable rep for an hour to make a change to your account.

Thanks. Was leaning towards YouTube TV, but it doesn't have A&E. That's a channel I watch a lot.

Just a note about buffering.

I had it on Netflix and so I ran an ethernet cable to my TV instead of using WiFi and it cured the problem. Pain in the butt, but problem solved.

Have had Hulu Live for about 2 weeks now, zero issues and love it so far. It's coupled with Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I've had Playstation Vue for over a year, but just signed up for the free week of Hulu Live because LG doesn't support sideloading or any apps not on their app store.

Just too hard to get anyone in the family to change inputs and navigate just using the LG remote.
