DEAL ALERT: Select New YouTube TV Subscribers Can Get $10 OFF For the Next Year (15% OFF)
After making up with NBCUniversal last week, it looks like YouTube TV is going hard to get new subscribers. While they have been promoting $10 OFF for three months on their website for a while, some users are now being targeted on their website for $10 OFF for the next six and even 12 months.
To get the offer, you might have to try a few different browsers and even private browsing mode. We were able to get it to work on Mobile Safari on Private Browsing mode.
This is just one of the many streaming promotions that is going on right now:
- Hulu + Live TV: Get $10 OFF for Three Months
- Hulu: Get 30-Day Free Trial
- Sling TV: Get $25 OFF Your First Month, Just $10
- Philo: Get a 7-Day Free Trial
- fuboTV: Get a 7-Day Free Trial
- DIRECTV STREAM: Try 14-Day Risk Free
This joins the already existing promotion that T-Mobile offers that will give existing subscribers $10 OFF per month. It doesn’t look like the two offers will stack however.
How Does YouTube TV Compare to Other Streaming Services
-
Hulu Live TV
This is probably the closest one-to-one comparison to YouTube TV. You’ll get access to up to 0 channels.
Hulu Live TV also provides a phenomenal on-demand library of original titles, including (link: shows/the-handmaids-tale-2017 text: “The Handmaid’s Tale,”) (link: shows/little-fires-everywhere-2020 text: “Little Fires Everywhere,”) (link: movies/palm-springs-2020 text: “Palm Springs,”) (link: shows/pen15-2019 text: “PEN15,”) (link: shows/shrill-2019 text: “Shrill,”) and a great rotating library of blockbuster movies. If you bundle Hulu Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+, you’ll save $7/month. With a free trial, this is an easy choice.
Hulu includes a cloud DVR with 50 hours of capacity, though you can’t fast-forward through commercials. You can upgrade to the Enhanced Cloud DVR for $10/month. That provides 200 hours of storage space and you can skip ads.
Key takeaway: Comparable channel lineup with great, exclusive originals on demand.

Fubo
Billing itself as a sports-lover’s dream, fuboTV includes free 4K broadcasts (unlike YouTube TV), and a ton of flexible sports add-ons. FuboTV can give you as many as 213 channels. You would lose access to AMC, Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, TNT, truTV, and WE tv, however. You do get a free trial with fuboTV, so it’s also an easy one to try.
FuboTV provides a 250-hour cloud DVR. For another $5/month, you can upgrade to a 1,000-hour DVR.
Key takeaway: Sports options galore with free 4K.

DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM can get expensive quickly, but that might be worth it for access to as many as 220 channels, including more regional sports networks than any other service. There are four tiers of service available, so you can tailor your choices.
DIRECTV STREAM does not offer NFL RedZone or NFL Network, however.
DIRECTV STREAM’s included DVR only provides 20 hours of cloud storage. You can upgrade to Unlimited Storage for $10/month.
Key takeaway: The most channels available to stream, the best Regional Sports Network options.
