I love Hulu's selection, but they need to completely blow up their interface and start again. It's abysmal.

Agreed. I'd imagine a 7th grader with a weekend could do better.

Please explain. My DTV end this Friday. Leaning towards Hulu Live.

Also, no NFL Network? ****, just when I thought my decision was made. Other ways to watch NFL Network?

Look at Direct TV Now, streaming service. For $55 you can get the same package that includes NFL Network.

I honestly don't see the need for NFL Network these days though...

They have a free trial, so you can try it out and see for yourself. It's just a really confusing way of approaching everything. They really try to de-emphasize the "live" part of TV at all. Originally, there wasn't really even a "guide." You just had to search for the show you wanted to watch. They've backed off of that these days, but the guide is still slow to navigate (on Roku at least), and it's hard to see what's on in the future.

You don't "record" things. You add them to "my stuff" and in theory it just records every episode. But some things are available on demand, so sometimes it just uses that version. And eventually things get deleted from your DVR, but it's not really set up to make it obvious what you're in danger of losing.

In short, they've really just tried to blend the "live TV" part and the "streaming TV shows" part, and I personally just find it to be far more confusing.

Plus the app navigation sucks, and you can't fast forward through commercials on stuff you've recorded on your DVR.

Once you actually start watching something, it generally works fine. It's just a giant pain in the ass to find stuff in the first place.

If it weren't for the fact that my wife loves Food Network, I'd dump it for YouTube TV.

Exactly all of this. They try way too hard to make their old "Normal" Hulu content relative(but separate) to the point it makes it really confusing. It's actually somehow unintuitive to easily record something as a series. Which is just silly.

Completely agree. Interface across platforms is horribad.
