YouTube TV vs. Hulu vs. Sling TV vs. vs. Philo vs. FuboTV vs. AT&T TV Now: 100 channels compared

Now that the reality of coronavirus is setting in and we’re all at home watching more TV, you might be considering a change in where you get that TV. Deciding to cut the cable TV cord doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite channels, including live news from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC or your local TV station. One way to watch live shows without cable is to connect an antenna, but your channel selection will be relatively small. If you want more options you should check out a live TV streaming service. They start at $15 per month, deliver numerous familiar live channels, features like cloud DVRs and the ability to watch not only on TVs but also on phones, tablets and computers.

Seven major services are available today: Google’s YouTube TV, Disney’s Hulu with Live TV, Dish Network’s Sling TV, AT&T’s TV Now (formerly DirecTV Now, not to be confused with AT&T TV) and Watch TV, Philo and FuboTV (the eighth, PlayStation Vue, is dead). Our full live-TV streaming guide has all the details about prices and features, but really, it’s all about the channels.
