Doing a trial on both platforms. Having a lot of buffering/freezing issues with Fubo. YouTube TV loads right up. Anyone else experience this? Would love to have Fubo for Astros.

Had Fubo for 6 months and gave it up because sports in high def looked like crap due to compression.

Been happy with YoutubeTV.

Astros arent playing. Go with youtubetv for a few months. Fubo charges extra fee for regional sports.

I've never had issues with Fubo buffering. We use it during football season because of the 4 way split screen feature. Otherwise I prefer the YTTV interface.

It may be an issue with whatever device you are using to stream. It's been about 2 years since i had Fubo, but when i tried to watch it on an Apple TV, it would buffer to the point that it was completely unusable. It would be completely fine on a Roku though.

And thank you very much. Works great now. Looking forward to Astros baseball.

This is exactly what happened with me. The picture quality of sports was crap on my brand new G1 LG OLED. But I wanted to watch the Astros so I went with DIRECTV Stream. It's been great.

I have YouTube tv. We're trying it. Not sure on fubo buffering but yttv sucks when watching dvr shows from ABC. It displays at 720p unless you use the VOD option with commercials. Then it's 1080p. It's an impressive racket.

So far, there just isn't a quality replacement for dish network and I think dish knows that.
