Hulu is different then Youtube TV, because it also has it’s full library of over 10,000 titles. So, you pay more, but you are able to have over 50 channels, AND access to their whole Streaming Library.
The DVR is a bit of a downer, because Youtube TV gives you unlimited storage, whereas Hulu gives you 60 gigs, but you can upgrade to 200 hours for an extra $14.99.

Who Wins?
So, Who Wins? This is hard to tell, because it is up to personal preference. Hulu Live has access to different channels like HGTV and TBS, whereas Youtube TV only has the basic channels. If you want more channels, Hulu Live, if you want more DVR, Youtube TV. My recommendation is that you go with Hulu Live. And plus, they have HGTV, which is a favorite channel of The RonCon Show!
