I think it depends on what you're looking for. We've had Hulu w/ Live TV for well over a year now and it works best for us. My wife and I make use of Hulu's streaming catalog as well.

Thank you.

We need something we can use on vacation too. Mainly for the news. That is all.
 
There isn't really a "best" streaming TV service. There is, though, a "best for you" service. You might want to check out https://suppose.tv. Choose the channels you want and see which service carries them and make your choice from there.

Personally I use YouTube TV and it is the "best for me."

You have to define "best", and even still, it could be very subjective.

All the services keep increasing the sub prices, and they are now pretty expensive, but I don't watch live TV, so I might be biased against them. Maybe the prices might be worth it to you.

I have paid for DirecTV Now (AT&T TV), Hulu Live TV, YTTV, and Sling, and the only one that was worth it was DirecTV Now, and that was when it was $35 a month.

The worst was Hulu, as you can only use it at one address, and it locks you out if you attempt to use it at different locations for more than three times a year. Or at least that was the way it used to be.

YTTV was fine, but still crazy expensive for the amount of content, imo.

I ditched AT&TV Now this month. I signed up when it was $35 a month and now they wanted $65. With the crappy app etc., I didn't feel paying $120 extra a year was worth it. They didn't even try to keep me.

The CBSN app does not require any cable/satellite credentials, and you get all of their feeds, including the sports channel.
