Philo Review 2020: Cost, Channels, and More
by Bill Frost | Sep 25, 2020 | Brand Reviews, Reviews | 0
While other streamers fight to add more channels and games (and hike prices accordingly), Philo keeps it light n’ breezy. It offers zero sports or local channels, focusing instead on entertainment (like Comedy Central, Paramount Network, and AMC) and lifestyle (such as A&E, HGTV, and Cooking Channel) networks.

Sling TV vs. AT&T TV NOW
by Randy Harward | Sep 22, 2020 | Reviews, Versus Reviews | 0
We prefer Sling TV’s lower starting prices, kids and sports programming, frequent deals, and usability over AT&T TV NOW. But its channel lineups are confusing even though they’re much cheaper than AT&T TV NOW.

Hulu + Live TV vs. AT&T TV NOW
by Rachel Oaks | | Versus Reviews | 0
Hulu + Live TV speaks to all the strengths of streaming: a full on-demand library, the most popular shows for cheap, and plenty of space to record your favorite live shows. Meanwhile, DIRECTV NOW has made backward changes that draw too much on its satellite TV origins—complete with bloated packages and pricey add-ons.

Netflix Review 2020: Plans, Pricing, and More
by Bill Frost | Sep 18, 2020 | Brand Reviews, Reviews | 0
Oxygen, water, and Netflix—the basic staples of life. Even anti-TV advocates usually concede, “Well, OK, I do have Netflix.” If there’s one entertainment platform that unites us all, it’s the mighty red N. At a base price of $8.99 a month, Netflix delivers a thunderous bang for your subscription buck.

Optimum vs. AT&T U-verse (AT&T TV)
by Dave Schafer | | Brand Reviews, Reviews, Versus Reviews | 0
Optimum’s big advantage is the available international programming—you won’t find a better selection anywhere else. AT&T sits in the top five providers in our customer satisfaction survey and enjoys a good reputation for customer service overall. AT&T also brings the reliability and speed of fiber internet to the table.

HughesNet Review 2020
by Bill Frost | | Brand Reviews, Reviews | 0
Satellite internet service is sometimes the only option for rural customers living on the edge of the grid, and the choices are slim: Viasat and HughesNet. If you’re used to the speed and performance (not to mention the pricing) of fiber, cable, or DSL internet, they’re both not so much “good” as a “good enough” option.

AT&T TV vs. DIRECTV
by Bill Frost | Sep 11, 2020 | Brand Reviews, Reviews, Versus Reviews | 0
Aside from their delivery methods, AT&T TV and DIRECTV are quite similar—right down to the package names, two-year contracts, and ownership (that would be AT&T). AT&T TV is streamed over the internet, and DIRECTV is beamed via satellite in the sky.

ESPN+ Review 2020: Price, Sports, and More
by Bill Frost | | Brand Reviews, Reviews | 0
Is ESPN+ the streaming service of your hoop dreams? Sorry, cord-cutting ball fans, but the emphasis of ESPN+ is on the “+” part. It’s more of a robust addition to, but not a replacement for, ESPN.

CenturyLink Internet Review: Plans, Prices, Deals, and More
by Randy Harward | Sep 9, 2020 | Brand Reviews, Reviews | 0
We love CenturyLink’s Price for Life guarantee, lack of contracts on internet and phone service. But those bells and whistles come with alarms, given CenturyLink’s poor ratings on customer support, install and setup, modem satisfaction, and reliability.
