Unskippable ads on recorded content??? No "start from the beginning" option if a recorded show is live? Terrible UI too. Oof I'm genuinely in disbelief it's this bad

News is also about the last thing you need "live," since they report the exact same stuff over and over again all day.

If something happened that day, you can tune in to any news channel, at any time, and they'll be talking about it. And if you can't "tune in," you can load literally news source on the internet and get the exact same stuff they're talking about on TV.

There are plenty of news options online. Pretty much every broadcast network has their own 24/7 news channel for free on youtube

I usually have sling. Switched to hulu since they had a 3 month/$50 per month deal with more channel options than sling. But damn it's bad. Probably going back to sling after this month

dude, my youtube has like a whole section just based on news the last few hours.

but I refuse to buy Live options on anything because it feels pointless at this point. If there's a t.v. series I want to watch, its most likely on a streaming service I have or if its a movie, I can just rent it on prime if its nowhere else.

YouTube TV doesn't let you start from the beginning if it's live either. I don't get it tbh.

Most of those "Live TV" services don't actually have the rights to record live TV, which means you can't restart from the beginning. They love to claim to be a good replacement for cable, but if you truly depend on live TV, they simply can't match up. They take shortcuts, by providing a service that can stream live TV, and later provide streaming options after it has already aired, but they don't pay for the rights to actually have all "live" features.

Honestly, there's some pretty free options out there. There's one that came with my Roku that lets me watch some Korean dramas and anime when I'm not in the mood of searching shit out. A whole channel just for One Piece, hell yeah

I am fine with recorded shit. But it's mildly annoying when I turn on a show at 7:45 and get a message that I can either watch just the ending or wait 15 minutes to start over.

I mean, those options are pretty clearly not what this topic is talking about, since they're clearly not "live TV" options, they just... Stream a certain show/genre/whatever all day, as a "channel," from their current streaming options.

Well, that's what I'm saying. Stuff like Youtube TV don't/can't record stuff, which is why you don't have a "Play from beginning." They pay ONLY for streaming rights, which means they can only show what's currently playing, they can't give you any actual "Restart" options.

Yeah but it beats FM and AM stations. Cool thing about XM is when you're traveling cross state and you don't have to go seeking out a cool station. Then again, I stick with spotify for music.

I love Spotify. I have literally no need for live radio anymore. I can just play a fake "radio station" of music I know I'm gonna enjoy.

Maybe to experience randomness? I know I used Pandora for music for awhile because I made my own radio station that even put in songs that might be similar to what I listen to.

I remember my dad and I used to drive to the next city to go to the gym and listening to hair metal on an XM radio and it was really nice and we talked a lot about 70s and 80s rock.

Yeah, definitely helps. I have like 3000 liked songs on my list and I go for walks and just press shuffle and whatever comes on its my song. Don't have to change stations because of something I dislike at least.
