Other Factors To Consider
If you’re still unsure which live TV service to go with, it might be worth taking a closer look at some of the other differences to see if they can help narrow down the list. For example, limitations on the cloud DVR or the number of simultaneous streams can affect the suitability of a live TV service. This is especially true for busier households where a subscription is likely to be shared between multiple people.
