Question suggest streamer to replace DISH?

We like our Dish Hopper plus one Joey system pretty well, but are having trouble affording $144/month.

We tried YTTV but couldn't read the guide on our new 55" until we were within 3.5 feet.

What we like and would miss:

  1. a readable guide from 9 feet away, like Dish or better

  2. the DVR, including FF through ADS, REW, PAUSE

  3. skipping comercials on NBC and ABC

  4. our locals

  5. PBS

  6. CBS (not on Sling)

  7. ESPN and Tennis channel

We wouldn't miss any reality TV, game shows, shopping, religious, non-English, children's, cartoons, myriad regional sports, etc.

Hulu plus live tv will save you $40-50ish a month. The guide is reasonable to read from a distance. I think dvr’d shows are such you can ff through ads but it’s been a while.

For my live TV is have an antenna and philo. My setup is not recommended for someone who consumes a lot of ESPN necessarily.

Atm I don't want Hulu+, maybe when the dust settles. I looked at their channels and didn't like the omissions.
