by Randy Harward | Oct 6, 2025 | Reviews, Versus Reviews

DIRECTV’s streaming and satellite products both have some excellent features, but they’re both way too expensive to be worth it for most folks.

Sling TV and Philo offer some of the lowest-priced monthly plans in live TV streaming. On the downside, they also feature fewer channels than pricier competitors like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV. More minuses: Sling TV is light on local channels, and Philo carries none at all (there are no sports channels on Philo, either).

Sling TV vs. Fubo

Sling TV vs. YouTube TV

by Randy Harward | Sep 8, 2025 | Reviews, Versus Reviews

Sling TV offers a good deal for an affordable price—its packages have some flexibility, and its largest package is still cheaper than YouTube TV. But YouTube TV offers more channels and unlimited cloud DVR storage space, so in many ways, you really do get what you pay for.
