Well, on my phone it works great. I like the content and being able to watch Angels games. 

I also bought Roku and Hulu hasn't been working. I'm told Roku did an upgrade causing problems with Hulu. Don't know when it will be resolved. Very frustrating. Roku is good otherwise. Tons of good content.

Otherwise, I like it.

This is how we know you are lying. No one likes watching Angel games.

Weird, Hulu Live works fine on our Roku TV.

I have a Roku stick+ not Roku TV

[halomatt]

So it seems like Hulu + is the way to go if I want to watch Angels baseball.  Is this correct?  Thanks!

Yes, but you probably don't want to watch Angels baseball right now, so you might as well go with one of the other services.

Don't project that front-running BS on him. Baseball is baseball (unless the Avalanche are playing at the same time)

I just went back to cable. I had YTTV last year to watch the Angels, dropped it to get Hulu live for this year. I liked each service but missed the ease of quickly flipping through stations. 

I still had cable service with a scaled-down channel lineup. I called my cable service to see if I could get just one addition station, Fox Sports West, and they end up upgrading me to a full channel lineup for less than what I was previously paying, plus upgrading me to better cable boxes and remote. Although I still have my streaming services, I just like the ease of cable TV.. 

Now I pay $130/mo for internet (100mbps) + TV + land line. I don't think that's too bad. But we'll see in another year once they jack up the prices again.

Landline?

[Blarg]

My wife insists we keep the landline which is only a spam line, I never bothering answering that phone when it rings.

Ha, I know, what's that. Wife likes using it when she talks to her Mom or sisters 23.5 hours per day.

Where does she find the time to do the laundry, clean the house, and make you a sandwich?

Well, the other shoe has finally dropped.  Now Hulu has lost FSW too:

 

Starting on October 23, 2020 Hulu will no longer have the rights to distribute certain Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) that are currently included with your Hulu + Live TV plan.

While we were unable to reach an agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group to continue offering channels like your Fox Sports RSN, YES Network, and Marquee Network, the good news is that you will continue to have access to a wide variety of sports from other popular channels including ESPN, TNT, and TBS, as well as FS1 and FS2.

Are they going to reduce the cost of the subscription?

Who knew that moving to Idaho would be the only way to watch Angels games.

[failos]

At this point it’s cheaper and more worthwhile to get cable. This was obviously the media conglomerate strategy all along.

[halomatt]

So what are the options for watching the Angels?  I cut the cord and two weeks in, Hulu stopped carrying FSW.  What are the options now?  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
