![]() The other problem is why I don't use it at all, and probably won't ever, and it's the dumbest thing. That's something new, that seems to be pervading google culture over the past 2 years.creeping profit grabs. One as the article notes is the "recommendations" seem to lean hard into high cost channels (add on or part of the package), and things that involve you giving google money. That's why it's only $35, but really if you like sports or have kids, it's $50+. The problem is entirely on their end, because I can stream 4k/60 on 750Mb/s download speeds without batting an eye, and yet Sling and their 720p picture quality couldn't manage it? I'm not sure WHAT triggers a server change, but certainly going from one streaming device (fire tv to roku) should have done that. I have an opinion that it tends to lock you into one of their servers and even if the server or network load is unusable, it doesn't switch. Sling was one of the few that gave me persistent streaming issues, from "splats" to pixilation to the dreaded swirl. Starting with Playstation Vue, the one that failed because most folks thought you needed a playstation to use it, or that it had something to do with gaming! I've had all of the streaming services, at least for a trial. So, if Sling was already doing things well for me on my channel assortment, and YouTube TV couldn't impress me much more on the quality of the programming I needed? Sling was already pulling me back in. Same goes for my precious professional wrestling. I switched between the apps over and over again, and soon forgot which app was which, and I was unable to tell the difference between the AMC feeds on YouTube TV and Sling TV. I tested picture quality out while watching Breaking Bad season 6. (You can check out how my colleague can't live without the YouTube TV key plays feature). That said? Actually using YouTube TV and Sling at the same time - or, well, app-surfing between them - I couldn't really find enough to really get me to switch. Yes, YouTube TV has an unlimited (9 month cap) cloud DVR, but I don't actually use my DVR that much. But YouTube TV still doesn't do enough (for me) How bad is it? Sling TV was up to 70 seconds behind live TV on cable, while YouTube TV had a much smaller 20 to 30-second delay. I live-tweet events a lot (arguably too often), and doing so a few dozen seconds behind people with cable? I always put myself up for getting spoiled on what's just about to happen. You see, even one of the best streaming services (which Sling is) aren't actually as "live" as cable is.Īnd that's a huge deal for me. Things are snappier, and it has the one thing Sling TV could really use: a shorter delay time. Here's the thing about YouTube TV: it's got a much better interface and app than Sling TV.
