FuboTV Review: Live TV Channels, and Features

FuboTV has officially become a formidable force in the world live TV streaming services. As of March 15th, they have added AMC, BBC America, IFC, Sundance and WE TV to their lineup. With these new additions, FuboTV now offers more than 70 popular channels normally found on cable and satellite TV.

What is FuboTV

FuboTV is an over the top (OTT) streaming service that offers live TV channels over the internet. While FuboTV still offers top-tier world soccer programming, they have expanded their channel roster to include major networks like AMC, A&E, USA, NBCSN, and much more.

FuboTV has crafted their service to cater mainly to sports fans but offers other pay-TV staples as well. The service supports most major streaming devices and even includes a cloud DVR with the base package at no additional costs.

I’ll cover the channel offerings, device support and more below. However, you can try the service out with a 1-week free trial. Like most streaming services there is no contract, so you can cancel anytime. New users can get their first month of fuboTV Premier for only $19.99 after a 7-day free trial.

• You can watch shows recorded on the DVR via FuboTV’s website, iPhone and iPad apps, Android smartphone and tablet apps, Roku, and their Amazon Fire TV app.
• The DVR feature provides 30 hours of storage and you can keep shows as long as you are an active subscriber.
• You can expand your personal DVR capacity to 500 hours for an additional $9.99 per month.

The Future of FuboTV

FuboTV continues to expand its service and improve. The streaming service recently received a $55 million investment. Over the past 2 years, they have consistently expanded the number of local markets they stream local networks too. Over that same period, they have more than doubled their offering of available cable TV channels.

With this service poised to continue growing, it looks like it will add to the competition in the current streaming market, which is good for us cord-cutters. Try their 1-week free trial and see if it’s a good fit for watching TV without cable needs.
