However, once you get the hang of it, Fubo TV’s Multiview feature-which lets you put two, three, or four different live channels on the screen at once-is simply amazing.
FUBO TV TV
It’s confusing, and magnified by the fact that the app doesn’t seem to have been updated to support the functions of the 2021 Apple TV remote control. There seem to be two different live TV states in the Apple TV app, one in which you swipe from side to side to change channels, but another in which you end up swiping up and down to see channels. You can mark channels as Favorites, but that’s all-on my TiVo, I could also hide channels that I was never going to watch, and Fubo TV won’t let me do that, so there are junk channels littered throughout my live TV interface. There’s a program grid guide, which works well enough, but I wish I could customize it a bit more. The channel-choosing interface could use some work. (My cable company was presumably compressing and downsampling my video, too.
FUBO TV 720P
The live TV streams are of good quality-everything on Fubo TV seems to be 720p except for a few special 4K sports streams-and I couldn’t tell the difference in quality from what I’d get from my cable company. If I had to sum up the live-TV viewing experience of Fubo TV, both on the Apple TV app and on its companion iPad and iPhone apps, is that it’s a pleasure to watch but frustrating to navigate. Great for watching, weird for navigating The grid guide works okay, but you can’t simplify things by hiding channels you never want to see. The short answer is, it’s a step back in terms of functionality, with a lot of room for improvement. How can an app measure up to an old-fashioned TiVo box attached to a cable plan?
(YouTube TV came close, and I intend to test-drive YouTube TV in the future and write about it here when I do.) But channels are only part of the equation when it comes to TV service: There’s the TV interface itself. I chose Fubo TV because of its channel lineup, which included all the sports channels I required. I can’t give up live TV, mostly because of sports, so it’s fitting that I ended up with Fubo TV-it originated as a sports streaming service, though it now also carries local channels and cable entertainment channels. The service is Fubo TV, for which I’m paying $60 a month. This has required me to replace my venerable TiVo with an app that runs on my Apple TV. I’ve subscribed to what’s called an “over the top” TV service, which provides a bundle of live TV channels-essentially, it’s a cable TV plan that’s done entirely via streaming. Though I’ve just cut the cord and dumped traditional cable TV, the truth is, I’m cheating. Fubo’s Quad Box interface is great for sports.
