What to Read Next?
Sounds great! My 80-yr old brain must ask…..what is meant 3 streams at once AND if I watch on another tv in another room must I have a Firestick on it to watch my programs while hubby watched his????
great question. So 3 streams at once means that 3 people in your house could all be watching different shows on different devices/tv at the same time. If u are watching from a tv, then you would either need to have the tv itself be a ‘smart’ tv that can download the streaming app you want to watch (for example Sling TV app) or you would need a device (like your firestick) on each tv. Initially that may sound like a bad deal but remember you only have to buy the firestick ONE time whereas with cable you are paying to rent a cable box for each tv every month. Does this help answer your questions?
what do you recommend is closest to PlayStation vue. I loved the interface and price plus the channels. let me know. (must have fox news) thank you
It’s a great question, Patty.
If you like PS Vue b/c of the ability to customize your plan…
AND you like local channels, then go with ATT TV Now – it’s the most expensive but most similar to PS Vue
AND you don’t care about locals, then go with Sling.
If you don’t care about choosing between different plans, then go with YouTUbe TV – it’s got a lot of nice features and all the locals (in my area at least).
Let me know what you decide. Good luck
where is the spreadsheet with the streaming providers and channel lineups?
