Originally a celebrity coverage channel in the vein of E! or Inside, REELZ has recently pivoted to crime, biopic, and docudrama programming. It still covers famous people, but it skews toward scandal and controversy more than anything. You may know it now for shows like Cops, On Patrol: Live, Celebrity Page, and Most Shocking. If you've been wanting to watch REELZ but don't have an antenna, no sweat: the channel is available on a couple of live TV streaming services we've listed below. Do note that in some cases, like in Sling, you'll have to purchase an add-on to start watching REELZ.

Right off the bat, YouTube TV stands out among the three live TV plans because of its price. It's the most expensive of the bunch at a whopping $73, but with that tag comes a stacked lineup of channels including local affiliates from CBS, PBS, and The CW, which are the only major broadcasters missing from Sling Blue's local lineup (except for Local Now, Sling Orange does not come with local channels). It also has a user-friendly interface, unlimited cloud DVR, and add-ons you can purchase so you can bump your package to include premium channels like HBO and Showtime. But while we're on the topic, no one really does add-ons like Sling. Sure, Sling Orange and Sling Blue only carry about half the number of channels YouTube has, but they have a host of add-ons ranging from $5 to $11 that you can stack to your package. In some markets, Sling Orange is even cheaper than Sling Blue, but don't be fooled: it has channels that Sling Blue doesn't have, namely, Disney and ESPN channels. And for its part, Sling Blue has Bravo, Discovery Channel, FX, and USA. There's a lot to consider apart from channels: device compatibility, free trial availability, DVR capability. So, to help you decide which among the three fits your needs, we've gathered all that we could about them in the charts below.
YouTube TV, Fubo, and Hulu with Live TV are all great cable-replacement options, but which among them is the best? The most affordable of the three is YouTube TV, and it's also the service with the most attractive channels, including AMC, BBC America, NBA TV, and IFC, which the other two either don't have or offer for a fee. It also helps that it has a smooth and familiar interface even your granny can navigate. But for a few bucks more, you could have Hulu with Live TV, which aside from the usual live channels, bundles Disney+ and ESPN+ in its base package. Finally, the priciest service, Fubo, boasts the most number of channels and up to 10 simultaneous streams, making it big-household-friendly. It's also more sports-heavy than the two, uniquely offering MLB Network and NHL Network, albeit for a fee. So to answer the question, the best service will largely depend on what you're looking for. YouTube has a great selection of live channels, Hulu's on-demand library is pretty hard to match, while Fubo is great for sports fans (though you should note that it doesn't have TNT, TBS, and other Turner-owned channels). Below, we compare all three in terms of channel lineup, device compatibility, free trial availability, and more to help you decide which live TV service to get.
Of the three, Fubo is the most expensive streaming service, but is it worth the hefty price tag? Its base plan has almost 200 channels, many of which specialize in local and international sports. It also has all the beIN sports channels, which are only available on Sling and YouTube via an add-on. That said, it is missing key channels like PBS, as well as Warner Bros. channels like HBO, CNN, TBS, and oddly enough, TNT Sports. All these are available on Sling and YouTube, save for HBO, which is absent from Sling's lineup and comes at an extra fee on YouTube. But channels aside, there are other features to consider too, such as DVR storage (both YouTube and Fubo are unlimited, though the latter's doesn't expire), free trial availability (only Sling doesn't offer one), and device compatibility. To help you make a better assessment, we've compiled a comprehensive guide below that compares these three popular live TV services.
YouTube TV, Sling Orange + Blue, and Hulu with Live TV are some of the best cord-cutting options in the market right now, but whether they're for you will depend on your needs. If you're on a tight budget, then Sling Orange + Blue is probably enough to cover the basics. Sure, its local channel selection is limited (it only offers FOX, NBC, and ABC in select markets) but its add-on options are virtually endless. Via its Sports add-on, it's also the only one among the three services to carry the MLB network.
Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, on the other hand, are as comprehensive as they can get. They offer local channels, including PBS, CBS Sports, and CW, which Sling doesn't have. But Hulu doesn't carry AMC, BBC America, and IFC (the other two do), while YouTube doesn't have A&E, Bloomberg, History, and Lifetime (again, these are found in the other two). YouTube is, however, the only one with NBA TV. But Hulu is ultimately the most expensive out of the three, probably because it also comes with Hulu's on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN+.
Below, we compare all three of these heavy hitters in terms of channel, DVR, device, and free trial availability.
