Hulu

[Wild Turkey]

Reminds me - one other thing I like about Hulu is I get local channels with it, and didn't with sling.

But, when games are on local channels, I recommend using an antenna if you can instead. They have great picture quality and there is no delay/bandwidth usage.

Can get a digital antenna for like $20 that's good enough if you don't live out in BFE.

My antenna was made by RCA, cost $35, has a 40 mile radius (which is 25 more than I need) and is small/thin box that looks similar to a wifi router. It sits on my mantle below the TV and you hardly notice it. Picks up 68 HD channels!

Thanks all, not sure at this point what I'll do. Sling really just does not cut it. I know I will have to look into the the antenna idea, if that will pick up local channels like ABC, CBS them the Hulu Live seems the way to go. Im assuming the live antenna would be booted differently ie I would need to access that separate of Amazon, Hulu, Hulu live?

I'm thinking Mohu - Leaf 50 Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna - Black/White May be a solution that would get me the major networks

Actually a little more research has me leaning toward Mohu - Beam Premium Indoor HDTV Antenna - Black A little more cash but I don't have to stick it on my windows either. There is also something called Mohu Airwave that shows some promise I think multiple TVs can stream from it as it streams of your internet

It's as simple as switching the source on the TV and your off and running. My antenna is small and sits right on the mantle.

Just watched the Gamecock game, not a hiccup in the stream from Hulu. Always had at least a couple (usually more) with Sling.

First Saturday of college football with Hulu and very pleased.

Basically have a Firestick and an antenna for ABC and CBS. Absolutely no issues and switched to multiple games throughout the day.

Don't miss full blown Charter cable.

Giving PSVue a trial run. So far so good.

Tried the MoHu Blade did not work as advertised the guy at BestBuy said there were no reported issues for this area but I sure could not get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX etc.

Don’t know what changed but streaming on PSVue suddenly got very shaky with buffering and cutting in and out. It says it’s my WiFi signal but I know that’s not right because I have no problems with Slingg. I was all but ready to switch over but now I’m not so sure.

Update:

As of the past two weeks I'm getting CBS on Hulu making ABC the only national channel I don't get. I can still tune it in through the antenna.

Perhaps my worry that there will be too many streaming services when Disney+ launches is unfounded.

its only going to increase... But you can find everything through a third party still...

The good news is there’s might be a bundle option available
