    For those aren’t in need of more specific channels such as NewsNation or Reelz, Pluto is a good alternative. That said, I’ve had some connection hiccups before with Pluto even on relatively good internet speed (mine averages 140–170mbps regardless of rain), so I don’t know if that’s a bug that’s fixable or has been fixed (hopefully it’s gone by now). Aside from that, it has good movie lineup, mostly 80s–90s hot hits and also some rom–coms.

    Cheaper than YouTube TV and Hulu TV with topic–based bundle add–ons (e.g., News, Entertainment) for flexible customization. Allow users to subscribe or switch around add–on bundles and main packages easily. As of right now, free DVR hours and international language packages are limited. That said, the flexibility afforded to me in customizing my monthly subscription thus far has more than made up for observed limitations.
