Will AppleTV+ offer Live TV?

Hulu is wrought with streaming issues this week. I’m done! Please tell me I can switch to live TV on Apple’s new app on 11/1. Will it offer Live TV?

No, it’s not a channel that’s going to show other providers content.

Interesting, I have Hulu Live and I’ve noticed no issues for some time.

Hulu Live is different in that it was never just its own original content. It’s a cable replacement. tv+ isn’t cable replacement.  tried to do a Hulu live but got shut down by content providers so we have tv Channels and tv+ instead. Not saying we won’t have a live channel ever, just saying tv+ now doesn’t.

The live TV feature of Hulu has been pretty atrocious as of late. I really only have live TV for sports, and I (along with others from looking a Hulu's Twitter) have experienced playback issues during TNF, SNF and last night during the WS and NBA opening night.

I hate to say this, but AT&T TV Now live TV feature was more stable than Hulu. Although I refuse to go back to them, if the issues with Hulu persist, I'm going to have to look at YouTubeTV or PS Vue.

I doubt ATV+ will have live TV anytime soon. I could see them potentially adding the feature down the line, but for now, just look at them to be similar to Netflix, Amazon Video, etc.

As has been pointed out Apple TV+ is not going to offer any live streaming options like Hulu Live, PS VUE, Sling, etc. But some Channels do offer access to live streams of their content. For example: HBO, Starz, Showtime and CBS all offer live streams of their content with a subscription. But not all Channels have a live stream.
