    That's a steep price to pay for Rockets basketball if that's all you watch. I'll probably do it this year though. I already have sling TV, might as well cancel that and do FUBO instead.

    Damn, I've heard so many good things about YouTube TV but that's a dealbreaker for me.

    I guess Fubu it is. Does Fubu have a DVR option? (asking for my wife)

    I'm done with DirecTV. Bad enough losing CBS during Texans season last year. Now I can't watch any of the ESPN channels. Hello? No Sunday Night Baseball? No College GameDay? WTF?

    What about Hulu?

    Started a free 7 day trial with Fubo. It’s a bit pricey but so was DIRECTV. Watched the end of the Astros game.

    Now I need to check it all out.

    Seems like it's pretty sports heavy which is good for me but not so much for the wife. A lot of her channels are missing. But these days, it seems like you can find any channel in the world streaming somewhere.

    Weird that it doesn't have TBS/TNT. That will suck during March Madness.

    I'm looking into this, but I don't see a channel lineup on their website. What channels do they provide for their different plans?

    I hear you. For me it’s Astros, rockets and local networks all in one place…along with all the espn related channels. I hate switching from app to app to try to find what I want. I like Fubo a lot more than I thought I would

    March Madness was on Max for the most part this last year.

    I'm currently sharing DirecTV streaming with no issues. The package that includes Space City is about $110/mo and I Zelle my friend $55 each month.

    This.

    IPTV is the wave.

    First time hearing of IPTVload. I'm currently using HoneyBee.

    Does IPTV load get SpaceCity Network?

    How fitting that it would be on the network you own. Sounds like you are making money hand over fist, sir!

    I use IPTV too. Haven't heard of iptv load. I actually don't even know the name of my provider for iptv. I just Zelle a shady guy each month for mine. All I know he's up in Canada and was recommended by a coworker. They do have Space City network though. Does yours? Yours sounds cheaper than mine. Which I wouldn't complain about. Mines about $13/mo.

    I also split Fubo with my sister. I find it more reliable but I still like iptv too.

    I've got it all, nothing shady legit website. Never had an issue watching anything (Astros, Rockets, Texans), including other games that are on

    Hard wired or wireless connection for your IPTV?

    Also, no buffering? No feed for the games being slightly behind? Mine will buffer occasionally.

    How's their customer support?

    Wireless

    Gotta bunch of 4k channels as well, the game is 40 seconds behind (I've timed it). It would rarely ever buffer, but there's usually multiple channels for the same game; for example I was watching the Texans last Sunday n it started buffering in the 2nd qt, switched the channel n it was fine.

    Don't know about their customer service honestly, never had to contact 'em. Its been smooth for 5 months now. I'll extend it for a year, paid 6 months just to try it n couldn't be happier. My internet provider is Verizon (no connection issues).

    Much appreciated sir. Thanks! I'll see about giving them a whirl in a month or two once my current IPTV deal is up. :)

    I'm wireless also, so good to hear. Although my wireless AP is like 12 ft from the TV so not too bad and the AP is hard wired. Cool.

    Save yourself some money and pay an iptv provider directly. Its easy to set up.

    Np brother, I've went through few of them (free trials)n most of them sucked until I found this one

    https://iptvload.com/subscription-free-trial-iptv/

    You can get a free trial 48H ( bottom of the page), so try that first to see if it works for you
