Hulu + Live TV is a pretty comprehensive package, so much so that it's ideal if your family has a variety of interests. Not only do you get access to Hulu, but you also get a subscription to Disney+ and ESPN+. Along with that is a long list of more than 95 live channels, including news, sports and entertainment. For example, there are ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, CNN, Cartoon Network, BET, FX, NFL Network, FS1 and FS2, Lifetime, PBS and PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, Paramount, etc.

Additionally, you get access to DVR features and unlimited cloud storage for said content. Even if you know you'll miss your favorite show, you can still record it in advance.

2. Peacock

If you're a bargain hunter, Peacock is one of the cheapest ways to join the streaming service and watch Live TV at the same time, although Peacock is increasing its price. Even Premium Plus – an ad-free subscription – costs only $14/month. However, if you are a student or teacher, you can buy it for a fraction of the price (3 USD and 4 USD respectively).

In terms of content, we're talking Hallmark, NBC, Sky News, TODAY All Day, NBC Sports, Premier League TV, WWE, GolfPass, NFL Wild Card, Nascar, IMSA and even Sunday Night Football.

Of course, Peacock is a streaming platform and has a lot of content to stream as well; In fact, it's where The Office airs that everyone loves to watch.

While DirecTV may have many channels, YouTube TV is no slouch. In fact, it's on par with Fubo, with over 100 Live TVs to choose from. YouTube TV has an advantage over other streaming services here thanks to its customization capabilities and 21-day trial period.

For starters, the basic package alone has over 140 Live TVs, including the ultra-relaxing Zen Channel. It includes a mix of major news and entertainment channels, such as CBS, MSNBC, Cartoon Network, Disney, Sports Network, ESPN News and many more. YouTube TV has ESPN, FS1 and FS2, and CNBC Gold too.

The real attraction is the add-ons, where you can explore more specialized Live TV, such as Sports Plus, Spanish Plus, Filipino Plus and Spanish Plan. That will get you access to channels like AcornTV, BET+, Cinemax, Gaia, NFL Redzone, and Curiosity Stream.

4. DirecTV

DirecTV is the platform you want to use if you don't want to miss any channels. There are four packages – Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate and Premier – and each package adds more channels, from 90+ to 185+.

Even with the cheapest plan, you get access to FX, Disney, CNN, HGTV, ESPN (and ESPN2), as well as local channels and the Sports Pack. However, if you want to watch regional sports channels, you'll get more from Choice onwards. This package will add channels like Bally Sports, NBA TV and ESPNews.

The Ultimate package offers the most, of course, like NHL Network and STARZ Encore, but regardless of which package you sign up for, you can also add additional channels, just like you can with YouTube TV. This is one of the few streaming platforms (on this list) that offers international channels, like Cine Mexicano. It offers a bit of wiggle room if, for example, you just want the Entertainment package with a few extra sports or movie channels thrown in.

Fubo should be your main choice if you want to focus on sports. You can access MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL and follow the events taking place in those leagues through ESPN. Fubo also offers add-ons. There's NFL Redzone, Sports Plus, NBA League Pass, Adventure Plus and International Sports Plus if you like soccer. More importantly, if Fubo broadcasts the channels your team is playing on, you'll be able to record matches to watch later.

Fubo also has a lot of popular Live TV outside of sports. For kids, there's Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Disney. You can relax with music channels like MTV, VH1 and CMT. One prominent channel is Crunchyrolll. This is a site to visit if you like anime.

No matter what you choose, one of these streaming platforms will be the perfect fit. Fubo focuses heavily on sports; DirecTV offers the most options; YouTube TV is easy to customize; Peacock is affordable and Hulu + Live TV has multiple streaming platforms rolled into one. It's best to make a list of the channels you have, then make choices based on that list.
