Do you recall/know if it’s this version with or without adds? After spending about 2 hours this afternoon researching options and comparing costs amongst Hulu, YoutubTV, Philo and a bear bones version I can get from my current cable provider Spectrum; my mind is mush and need to revert back to my notes.

We Will Collective May Donor Drive - Last Day, Help Needed!
We're in the final hours of a critical push to signup donors for the May Donor Drive. Let your Cyclone friends know!
Please consider giving at We Will Collective.
You can have either package(with or without ads). It’s $8 a month more for ad free. We don’t have ad free because we don’t watch hardly anything that’s not live and most recorded stuff we can still fast forward through the commercials.
I’ve yet had a situation that they’ve had a quad box that had all the channels that I wanted to watch. They seem to refuse to combine Fox and ESPN games on the same box. Also, any time a game has an alternate channel, they often seem to put that in the quad box rather than the main channel.
So until they let you choose your channels, the feature is just a gimmick and not useful to me.
I've used YTTV, Hulu and Fubo over the last 5 years.
Typically, use FUBO during baseball season because the other 2 don't have Marquee Network as a streaming option. With Fubo it is part of their $15/mo regional sports channel addin.
But Fubo doesn't have Turner Networks, so can't get all March Madness games.
I thought this might be my last go-round with Fubo when I switched back to YTTV this fall after having Hulu last winter. But after last couple months, not so sure. IMO YTTV navigation isn't as good as Fubo. And a lot of the FREE on-demand content that YTTV used to have is now paid subscriptions or rental content.
Since all are easily cancellable and content is about 85% the same across the 3 platforms. Give one a try and don't be afraid after a couple months to switch to another to see which one you prefer.
Hulu is great if you have ESPN+. You can watch ESPN+ within the Hulu App. Disney owns Hulu.

Good to know a person can't design your own 4 game view. I was getting frustrated trying to create one for hoops games over Thanksgiving weekend.
I have Verizon and it Disney/espn/hulu comes bundled for no extra cost. I have YTTV as my main sports watching, but using Verizon freebie saves me a bunch.
I think we are YEARS away from Next Gen being the standard. FCC is going to push back when ATSC 1.0 is supposed to be gone. So things will be the same past 2027 at least.
The best way to use OTA is by having an outside antenna. I live close to Omaha but with a simple antenna outside, I get all Omaha, Lincoln, and some Grand Island. Now a lot of channels overlap but total stations is close to 80. I don't have any device to record live TV setup but that is an option.
You also still need an antenna that picks up VHF and UHF signals and those signals are very directional so if there are towers in multiple directions from you, reception can be tricky.
YTTV for many of the reasons already mentioned. User interface. Ease of use. Channel offerings. We’ve had it since it came out and have gotten 10+ family members to switch to it and they all love it.
YouTube TV and ESPN+ add-on for your smart TV will currently et you every Cyclone game except the last ones that will be on Longhorn TV.
What's more, they both will allow you to watch at your leisure.
We have programmed our YouTube TV to tape every Cyclone event. Nice to be able to fast forward through the commercials.

Was a long time Spectrum customer in KC until they finally got too expensive. Dumped them and now use Google Fiber and Hulu with the Disney/ESPN add ons. I'm happy with it and have not had issues. I like that it carries local channels too.
To be fair, I can't speak about YTTV. Hulu had the channels we wanted and the price was a big upgrade, so I was GTG.
I use DirecTV Stream. When HuluLive and YouTube TV dropped what was then the regional FSN's, DirecTV Stream was the only streaming service to offer the channels (I'm a Royals fan and MLB is my nightly reality show).
Yes DirecTV Stream costs more than say YouTube TV, but the latter doesn't carry say Newsmax and Cooking Channel which I both like.

Youtube TV and espn+ only for football and basketball season and Prime. I cancel youtube tv May through most of August I I justify that pays for Prime and use the free ROKU channels. Everything else is on the web any way. (local news weather and 1000s of reruns and b movies for the 0 to 3 hours a day we watch TV).
Same here. I also like on Hulu that the channel guide defaults to the smaller grouping of most recently viewed channels, so if you're flipping between 2 or 3 things you don't have to navigate the entire guide to get from one to the other, makes it a lot quicker. It's also nice since there are a handful of channels that we watch way more than most others, so they're all right there.
Here is a good explanation of what it is and how it works. https://www.muvi.com/blogs/what-is-iptv-how-iptv-works
I pay $15.99 a month for every network/channel that’s is available, live sports, tv shows, movies, pay per view, you name it, you can watch it. Been doing this the past 6 years.
Oh I know what IPTV is but the way you wrote it, it sounded like you were naming a brand called IPTV. So what IPTV provider do you use?
I use Napster and Limewire for all my music. Totally free and no one cares.
Oh sh**, I'm in the wrong decade. Back to 2003 with me.
They're already beta testing letting you choose channels. I have 2 buddies who randomly lucked out on that. I'd imagine it will be available to all next football season.
