Using Fubo now and there is a noticeable difference in user experience depending on the platform you are streaming with. The Apple 4k is far better then the built in OS on my Samsung TV. The Apple 4k loads and swapping channels is instant while the Roku and Samsung seem to have hesitation and delays. Plus the multi view is great on the Apple 4k.
I actually like the Fubo UI and DVR better, but not having the Turner networks is a deal killer for me. Without those channels you are missing a LOT of MLB, NHL and NBA regular season and playoff games, including the Stanley Cup finals. They may be the best for sports OTHER THAN the three I mentioned above, but for the time being, RU-vid tv has MUCH BETTER American sports coverage.
Fubo's UI is similar to cable/sat providers, so can completely understand how that could be preferred. The Turner networks is a big deal for national sports for sure. For me that wasn't important because 1) the NBA stole the Sonics from Seattle and 2) Seattle hasn't had a team in the playoffs (Seahawks excluded) in years :-(.
@@5wappy That definitely puts a damper on what you want to watch. I read some articles online that quoted a tweet by the fubo CEO when asked about getting the Turner networks back that said "More to come on this front". It was later deleted, but it MIGHT indicate that they are working on this situation. Hopefully they will get them back. 🤞
@@spaceghost4474 Unfortunately the loss and gain of networks is a common problem every TV service face with contact negotiations sometimes going past the current contract. I was on RU-vid TV for a year when they announced we would lose NBC channels, which was the big enough push to try out Fubo TV. Luckily NBC was only gone for a few days, but the damage was done and I went to Fubo and stayed since they have my regional sports.
Michael, I have similar needs as you, I am in Southern Oregon with priorities as follows: 1] Trailblazer basketball, ( Does Fubo broadcast the NBA Playoffs?}... 2) Pac12 Duck games. 3) March Madness... 4) TNT... 5) ESPN... You Tube - Sling - FUBO - OTHER ???
Unfortunately, none of these steaming service have all the channels so you have to decide which is more important. Fubo doesn't have TNT/TBS so if NBA is your priority Fubo probably isn't the best option. For me it was easy, I needed Root Sports NW and Fubo is the only streaming service with it. Pac 12 is on Fubo and not RU-vid as well.
The fact that prices for cable, satellite, and streaming is just ridiculous. I hate TV now days. Everything is a different price. I would be ok with 20 channels and a medium fast internet. I am cutting the cord on DirecTV and all this crap gives me a headache. I have ordered 3 antennas, and 3 Amazon fire sticks. On Social Security this is my entertainment. I just freakin want to watch TV. Great video, thank you.
I hated getting nickel and dimed by both DirecTV and Dish for every box I had even if I didn't use them. Then they raise the price after 1-2 years. I got tired of having to call them every year to get a better deal, it's a poor customer experience. I'm much happier paying for online TV service that don't have year long contracts so I can get one for a month and binge what I need, then cancel.
You might want to try Frndly. They have a pretty good channel lineup. No local channels but you can get those with an antenna. They don't have sports either, but their highest tier is only $10.99/month.
Fubo will only let you stream to one Apple TV at a time, even if you have 10 streams available from them. They only allow one. RU-vid will let you use up to three Apple TV's simultaneously.
Don't even try to contact fubo TV. They have the worst customer service in the world. And yes, they will limit your devices even if they are under the same roof. If you have two different wifi routers, fubo will not let you stream at the same time.
11:05 That multi-view PIP feature on Fubo TV you talked about... holy crap. That sounds awesome. But yeah, again, I'm with RU-vid TV and that's definitely not an option on their service.
I just recently switched to RU-vid tv after getting rid of directv satellite. I will not pay for a satellite service that charges me twice as much when I can get youtube tv streaming with the same channels for half the price. I looked at fubo but there was some channels missing that are on RU-vid tv and still the same price so it was a no brainer. The RU-vid tv dvr is actually quite easy to use. The only thing is if you delete a recording, the only recordings from the same channel will be deleted too. This is something I will just have to accept unless someone can tell me how to work with that. But I am happy with RU-vid tv. The only other small issue is that you have to do a lot of scrolling to get to different channels and you can't just type in a channel number. But again this is a smart issue that I can live with.
yeah the channel switching on online services can definitely be improved. Most non-TV remotes (like apple TV, xbox, Roku, etc) don't include numbers so you can't use that. But maybe a quick grid of just the channels (with network logo + small preview of what's on) where you can quickly navigate to channels would improve things.
Look guys, It really depends on what channels you think you'll watch. Now I have Sling Blue with Sports Extra. I get FS1, FS2, B1G and NFL Network. Last night I watched Xavier and Ohio State basketball. This Saturday I'll watch the Vikings visit The Jungle. Come Spring I'll be switching to Fubo because I can get Bally Sports Ohio and watch every Cincy Reds game. Don't buy into hype. Get what you'll watch.
I’m pretty sure that was my point in the video, content is king. Overall RU-vid TV is better as a platform but if it doesn’t have the channels you want it doesn’t matter.
It's sad that DirecTV stream is the only provider that provides local Arizona FOX sports channel I know it's a different name now but that's what it used to be called Hulu doesn't provide it RU-vid TV doesn't provide it and either this football TV.
US TV Now is most likely your only option overseas. They do technically offer "local channels" but it's based in Eastern PA so it's Philly/DMV area of "locals".
Having a Roku, I couldn't get You Tube TV for the longest time, and did Fubo instead. When Roku finally got You Tube TV, I switched and seem to enjoy it a lot better.
Even with the higher prices they are still cheaper than traditional service like DirecTv, Dish & cable after the initial 1-2 year discount. Support for mobile devices is much better with services like RU-vid TV & Fubo TV as well.
I’m looking for FREE without lousy commercials. I had an Android X96 Mini and I had FREE TV & Movies without commercials. Now the box went out so I’m debating on buying another one or buying something else like Apple TV Box.
Free without commercials, I didn't know that was an option. I'm happy with my Apple TV, but I also have an iphone so the UX is familiar. Good luck in your search.
3:55 Exactly. I'm by JBLM and those are huge holes in my RU-vid TV line-up (Root Sports NW and Pac 12 channels). How is stability with Fubo TV though? I've been with RU-vid TV for few years and it's really good.
Stability wise Fubo TV is fine. The quality of the apps (xbox, apple TV, mobile) and overall interface are not as good as RU-vid TV but I have to watch the Mariners.
I tried RU-vid tv the app sucks I use Nvidia Shield many times when I started the app it froze had to reboot and if you're watching a show and you want to see what else is on you scroll down if you want to remain on that channel you have to scroll back to the top and select it and no cooking channel destination America or Magnolia, I went with Sling blue plus the $21.00 add on $59.36.
That's a bummer since I assume Nvidia Shield is Android based. Using new or less popular streaming devices can run into app quality issues as app developers have to prioritize where they spend time/resources which means most is used on the most popular platform like AppleTV and Chromecast.
Tired of Xfinity TV. Time to do something. We have a winter home in Surprise, AZ. Our prime residence is in Puyallup. Mariners, PAC-12 & Gonzaga on ROOT, convinced me on FUBO. My question is… AZ FUBO, I’m assuming will have PAC-12, but will it have ROOT? My guess is no ?
If I get fubo and pay the extra $6 for family share me and my neighbor can just share and split the cost of the service correct? Thats very affordable then.
How do you get HBO Max on FuboTV? I can’t get it. I prefer FuboTV’s DVR to RU-vid TV’s. It is sometimes hard to find a new program on RU-vid TV because they get lost in the reruns. FuboTV only has the new ones if that’s what you requested. You ignored that RU-vid TV has PBS and FuboTV doesn’t. I have used both services, and I think that some people who rely on your video to choose between the two services may be disappointed. Your experience was not the same as mine.
What channels you want is one of the most important factors in deciding. I always recommend to check your what's offered in your area before deciding. Overall from a UX and fit and finish perspective I stand by my choice, RU-vid TV is overall better but if it doesn't have the channels you like then use another service.
@@5wappy You didn’t answer the question. You claim that it is possible to get HBO MAX on FuboTV. Do you stand by that? I stand by my assertion that you gave people bad information. It would be hard for me to take your reviews seriously since I know that you have made fundamental errors in this review.
I don't use any Apple products. I never will. I have too much personal experience with them and frankly, as much of the good press they get for device security, it's just not convincing enough. I know too much about them as a former vendor, current vendor, etc. etc. SO, how do they compare when using only Android devices? Missing because the presenter doesn't have any experience with Android, apparently,.
I built both enterprise and consumer apps on iOS and Android over the last ten years. I prefer iOS and in my experience apps are typically better on their platform. But you are correct I didn’t test on Android and can’t talk about it’s experiences. But in general Android has solid app experience.
My Sony Google TV says "Fubo is not available on this device." I'd have to connect through my Roku. Seems like a cheesy arrangement for something that would cost over $100 a month.
