Has Fubo's live TV streaming service really gone from first to worst? Flashback to 2022
0:06
and JD Power ranked FuboTV number one for customer satisfaction among live TV streaming services
0:14
But a year later, a lot has changed. That same study has ranked YouTube TV number one
0:19
This is actually the service that I recommend to about 50 to 75% of cord cutters who want a full
0:25
cable TV replacement. And that's for its channel lineup, cloud DVR features, and ease of use
0:31
Hulu Live ranked second for the latest JD Power study, which does make sense when you think about
0:36
it. The service is very similar to YouTube TV, but it includes the Disney bundle, no extra charge
0:42
Next is Sling TV, a service I typically recommend to people who have another way to get
0:47
local stations. Yes, Sling TV is cheaper, but it doesn't have full local coverage
0:53
Direct TV Stream is fourth, and this is a service with an excellent channel lineup
0:57
including regional sports networks available. It is very cable-like, though. You can tell by the
1:02
price of these plans. That brings me to Fubo. Last year's number one service now ranked at
1:08
the bottom of the list. But I don't think Fubo has gotten any worse. In some cases
1:13
it's gotten better. Like the others, Fubo has raised its prices. But the service added regional
1:19
sports networks to the lineup. And now with Max offering live sports from Turner Networks
1:24
Fubo customers have another way to get content from TNT and TBS, which it doesn't carry
1:30
Something else to consider. Although Fubo's position dropped in the live TV streaming
1:35
category of JD Power's report, with a score of 742 out of 1000, that is still higher than the
1:42
top cable and satellite provider from this same study. And that's Dish coming in at 709
1:49
So why does streaming rank higher than cable and satellite? I think it's largely the price
1:54
And JD Power says the average cost for a live TV streaming service is $69 a month. Cable and
2:01
satellite, 113. But we all know those numbers can vary quite a bit. This JD Power report is based
2:08
on a relatively small sample size, responses from more than 23,000 customers. So let me know
2:15
which live TV service do you think is best for customer satisfaction
