Still trying to decide if you should subscribe to Directv or Hulu Live?
Our advice? Make a list of which channels and networks are most important to you, and if sports packages or FREE networks like HBO Max, Starz, or Showtime are important. Consider hardware, do you need an external unit to watch, or are you used to browsing channels like a cable subscription and prefer that, than using an app like Amazon Fire TV. Do you have a smart TV with Amazon Fire or Roku? If you do not, Directv might be a better deal for you.
