In the process of trying them all. They all have a free trial period. DirectTV Now was not great lots of buffering on live tv at random times. Now trying HULU liveTV, not looking good either, buffering and a weird repeat of the last few seconds. I’ll try PS Vue next.
I have youtube tv. $35/mo.FNC, ESPN, plus others.
What is your internet speed? I'm using Directv Now on an AppleTV streaming box (gen 4), and see only occasional buffering with our 70MB (down) Spectrum service. And when it does, it seems like it's channel-specific, or it's during prime-time. The former would indicate a suspect stream, while the latter would indicate your ISP is getting saturated and can't keep up with the load.
Also, if any of the streamed content is 4K, Apple says you should have at least 25MB to stream effectively.
Also, have you set your router's prioritization and/or bandwidth control to make sure your streaming device is either the highest priority device on your network, or is getting sufficient bandwidth allocated to it?
Would be interested in other folks' experiences and tips too!
I noticed that buffering issue also. I kept HULU basic and gave up the live TV. I did not like the way they had the live TV setup. A little too cumbersome.
