I like that when you hit the plus button on a series it gives you a season pass on the series as part of the record option. I don’t like the channel guide, unless I have not found it yet. I like the directv style of guide.

I watch it mostly on my Vizio TV that has built in chromecast or on another TV that has an Apple TV. Basically, you use your phone, tablet, or PC as a super remote-control. As far as the interface being the best, it uses live video feeds as the thumbnail image for each live channel (this is super cool). While timeline scrubbing through a DVR'd show, it shows you a thumbnail of where you are while you scrub, so you can skip ads faster than any other interface. In our market (Utah), Fox News is very popular, so this is a huge advantage over SlingTV. Although we don't have an official marketing relationship with YoutubeTV, it essentially allows us to bundle 250Mbps Fiber Internet + YoutubeTV (local+network channels, 3 streams, 6 accounts) for $100/mo, or 1Gbps Fiber Internet plus YoutubeTV for $113/mo. That's about $30 less than the non-OTT offerings which also require set top boxes, not to mention the hassle of dealing with local broadcast retransmission agreements and network channel distribution rights agreements which is far worse than dealing with the mafia.

We still promote 3 partner multicast IPTV systems across our network and Sling for OTT. However, Youtube TV launched in our market and is way better than any other OTT system I've seen. Local channels, network channels, cloud DVR and a much better user interface than anyone else. It is very promising. I think it is going to take the market for OTT (local broadcast and network channels) by storm. I thought my TabloTV + SlingTV solution was pretty sweet but now I am only using Youtube TV and Netflix. Worth checking out if available in your area.

It's been a long process and still not ready to launch. Be advised their system is true IGMP multicast and needs some specific network features to support that. Also will NOT handle packet loss or network congestion well at all. It's not like netflix where it goes to lower quality or buffers nicely.

If so, What are some issues you deal with and which content provider are you working with? We are looking into Rodeo and RealChoice for this solution. Being that we are all wireless we want to be able to provide voip and some video with our higher tier package. -- -- --
