Upgrading to the Choice package or higher adds regional sports networks (RSNs), NFL Network, NBA TV, and more sports channels. All subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR and streaming on unlimited devices at home.

Hulu + Live TV, which offers a free 3-day trial, includes truTV in its base plan, offering a regular and ad-free option for on-demand content. Both plans provide the same live channel lineup, unlimited cloud DVR, and access to Hulu’s extensive on-demand library, including tons of original content. 

A standout feature is that Hulu + Live TV's subscription includes ESPN Plus and Disney Plus, giving you three streaming services packed with movies, TV shows, and sports coverage for just one price.

truTV is available on Sling Blue and the Sling Orange and Blue plan, meaning you'll catch a handful of excellent NBA and NHL games throughout the week for Spring and Summer 2025. Sling Blue is the most affordable streaming service on our list and allows streaming on up to three devices simultaneously, along with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. You can combine Sling Orange and Blue to access ESPN, TBS, TNT, and more if you want the more extensive channel lineup option.
