I used the interface on the most popular devices including Roku, Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, iOS and the Chrome browser. Most of these menus summon a Netflix-like grid, which groups similar types of content, but I found the navigation speed varied according to platform. Options across the top of the home screen are Search, Home, Sports, Shows, Movies, Guide, Recordings and a smaller Account button. The basic menus are an improvement on the previous interface which, despite having the same options, felt overly cluttered as all of the entries were the same-size text.
FUBO TV UPGRADE
I found that I filled Fubo's 30-hour limit without trying at all, so heavy DVR users will probably want to budget for the upgrade - especially if you record entire TV series or games from your favorite teams. By comparison, YouTube TV's DVR has unlimited storage. The cloud DVR comes with just 30 hours of recording by default, although users can boost this to 500 hours for an extra $9.99 a month.
FUBO TV FULL
The chart at the end of this article has a full comparison of how FuboTV's channel lineup fares against competitors. While the addition of ESPN and ABC are particularly welcome, besides dropping TNT and TBS the service also lost Fox's regional sports networks in January. Due to the effects of the coronavirus, however, such coverage is on hold and the upcoming 4K events page on FuboTV hasn't been updated in months.Īs sports leagues restart, Fubo allows you to follow most of the action, particularly soccer like the UEFA Europa League.
What is FuboTV?įubo has offered live 4K sports programming in the past for events such as the 2019 Super Bowl, the Westminster Dog Show and the NCAA basketball tournament (March Madness). Overall, Fubo is a better service than it was - but still remains a niche player catering mainly to sports fans. (Note to get the $60 price, go to Add-ons & More at the link above, then scroll down to Fubo Standard.) It doesn't help that when adding Disney's networks, Fubo dropped Turner's, meaning it no longer carries popular channels like TNT and TBS - so subscribers won't get NBA or MLB games from either network.
FUBO TV PLUS
The cheaper Hulu Plus Live TV offers better value and a wealth of on-demand content, while YouTube TV offers a better experience and even more channels for just $5 more.
The attendant $5 increase to $60 per month also makes Fubo one of the most expensive options.įuboTV has a robust channel lineup, and changes to the interface and suggestion engine have made it a lot more usable and fun, but I like two other services in this price range better. To differentiate itself from rivals, FuboTV has a sports-centric focus, and the addition of Disney-owned networks like ABC and ESPN helps fill out gaps in its schedule. There'll be no set-top cable box - instead all of your live TV shows will be streamed over the internet.
In the near future, live TV streaming services like YouTube TV, Sling TV and FuboTV are what live television is going to look like.
