Skinny stacks reviews12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, fuboTV let me rewind and replay live TV, and it also made recently aired content available on-demand. fuboTV – iOS Content SearchĪs a live TV replacement, fuboTV is built around live TV, but that doesn't mean that you have to watch everything live. I could look through channels, check out menus of shows, or just search for what I wanted. I had lots of ways to find something to watch. With a little practice, I think you'll find that fuboTV is as easy to navigate as any cable or satellite service. The menus that fuboTV used instead weren't quite as fast as tapping in numbers on a remote, but they were pretty quick, and surfing got easier for me as I added more channels to my favorites, put my favorite channels in my preferred order, and started using other helpful options like the channel-return (or “last channel”) button in the fuboTV interface. Numbers wouldn't really make sense in a web or smartphone interface, either. I do miss the days of typing in a number to jump to a favorite channel (I still have channel numbers memorized from when I was growing up), but that's not really an option with the ultra-simple streaming remotes that come with devices like the Roku Ultra or the Amazon Fire TV Stick, which don’t have number buttons. Changing the channel on fuboTV for RokuĬhannels appear in a pretty logical order on fuboTV, but they don't have numbers. Things worked a little differently on the iOS, Android, and in-browser apps, which I felt made it a little harder to just channel surf. From there, I could hop to the next channel - or to one a dozen channels away. I couldn't simply hit channel up or channel down, but I could press the down button on my Roku remote (or click a button in my browser, or tap the screen on my phone) to bring up a little row of channels at the bottom of the screen. Overall, fuboTV makes it pretty easy to switch between channels. But I added enough favorites that I still felt like I was viewing a nice cable-like selection, and I always had the option to go to the “Guide” tab and view all of the channels I was paying for in a classic TV Guide format. ![]() That said, fuboTV's interface did try to get to know me: I could choose favorite channels, which were then added to my home screen. Some streaming services work hard to get you locked into one show or movie, but fuboTV gave me that lazy, cable-like feeling: I was channel surfing, half-watching, and just “seeing what's on.” fuboTV – Browser TV Guide I tried out fuboTV on my smartphone and in my browser, but it felt best when I was using it on my Roku TV. But as I tested fuboTV for this review, I finally felt like I was using something that was both a streaming service and a live TV service - something that could actually beat cable at its own game. It took fuboTV a while to figure out what it wanted to do, and it took it a few years after that to actually do it. This time around, though, I really liked what I saw. I've watched this service evolve, but I haven't always been impressed with its quality or direction. I've used fuboTV quite a bit - not just for this review, but for all the other testing periods for all of our past fuboTV reviews.
