    I currently use YouTube tv and don’t really have any complaints. Use my Verizon hotspot on my iPhone but only started for about 3 weeks. So far haven’t hit my hotspot limit. Wondering what most of the drivers on this forum use for live tv. Thank you

    We use Hulu. We use in our truck and at home because we don’t subscribe to cable tv. We have a smart tv at the house we use and on the road we watch tv from our I pad.

    As @pumpkinishere said. Hulu is a big one. There are also options like Peacock, and I think Paramount, and Discovery+(has a ton of stations that are separate on cable Food Network, Animal Planet, Travel, Science, Discovery, DIY, The Cooking Channel, A&E etc etc.) I think HBOMax also has a live right now option. Only one I can think of that doesn't is Disney+ of the major players. I don't think Amazon Video does either, but I could be wrong.

    Hulu gives you a lot of options though when it comes to live tv. Obviously stuff like Peacock, Paramount, Discovery+, etc are only going to give you live tv from their channel(s). When I watch stuff live it's either with Hulu, or one of the above as that's the channel what I want to watch is on. Discovery gets a lot of use by me, as I like some stuff on a lot of their channels. Food network is fun from time to time, and I got to have my "How it's Made" from the Science channel.

    I avoid most news apps, and news style shows, so can't help there at all. Also not a fan of the political ########, so no help there either. ;)

    In my tanker truck the company provided free to me satellite tv/DVR. When I left there I started watching tv online via ustvgo.tv

    There's also Fubo tv it's pretty good but not the cheapest. They usually give you a free one trial before you have to pay.
