What is the best streaming service?

[odanny]

I was with a local company that has always had spotty service, and of course it goes down Sunday morning on the first Sunday of the NFL season. I switched over to Hulu and am going to thank the local cable guys tomorrow when I turn in their little box, because Hulu is so much better. Is Hulu about the best streaming option out there? I looked at YouTube and their channel selection was awful, Hulu has thus far exceeded my expectations, but can't compare them to anyone else.

If your wifi sucks, all streaming sucks.

Wifi is good, it was the television part they never got right.

Bad modem or the provider in general?

No, the wifi was/is fine, I'm keeping that part, what was bad was their television, it worked intermittently, and it seemed to be improving, then it goes out at 9 am this morning and they had no idea when it would be working again. I think some other company is actually in charge of their television.

I'm canceling tommorrow.

I like Hulu but I can't subscribe to it because I refuse to support Disney. And Disney owns the lions share of Hulu at 67%

Inside the structure of Disney and Comcast’s complicated Hulu deal—and why it’s pivotal to Bob Iger’s turnaround plan

The importance that Iger accords Hulu as a linchpin in its revival playbook puts Comcast in a strong position to squeeze Disney.

I use HBO Max and with all the stuff I get with my prime membership, and free streaming apps like tubi I have more than I can watch.

HBO Max

That’s not a streaming service, that is a channel you stream, isn't it?

Maybe I'm wrong on that.

That explains why I got all the Disney shit I will never watch.

You should have got a Roku.
Roku solves all of the problems of the atrocious "smart TV" interface.
First, it comes preloaded with numerous free TV choices if you don't want to pay anything.
It is three times faster at loading channels than a smart TV, you can search content across all channels at the same time also.
