For live tv I have used YouTube TV, Sling, Hulu Live TV and finally settled on Fubo. I’ve been with Fubo for over a year now. I also subscribe to Peacock, Paramount and Netflix. The live tv providers will buffer if you don’t have fast enough internet speed. I use Xfinity and it is great. Previously I had CenturyLink DSL and the buffering was significant.
Which was cable, 1 gig service, to Frontier (fiber 1 gig) and DirecTV Stream. Maybe 1-2 times the feed has buffered, so it’s really minimal.
My setup may be unique, though. I ran a bunch of Cat 6 cable through my house so every TV/streaming device in my basement and first floor is hard wired, although the wireless TV’s on the second floor haven’t had any buffering issues at all.

Were you having buffering issues with Spectrum? The reason I ask is I have Spectrum internet and while I never have any issues streaming movies or television shows, with sports I have a lot of issues.
I have some bootleg IPTV because zero chance I was paying
the NFL essentially 800 bucks just to get the Giants out of market. Can't imagine how pissed I'd be right now lol.
I tried a couple, but they all have buffering issues. It is what it is, you aren't getting one without it. Mine was actual bad yesterday for the first time this season around the second halfs of the first games
I usually just favorite a bunch of locals, and pop around from channel to channel. Some are fine, some are bad, all depends how many people are watching that specific channel on that end.
I like YouTubeTV for the unlimited cloud DVR. Very powerful feature. Good features otherwise and I like the interface, too. Have done trials of some of the others, none struck me as exactly bad.

Never had an issue with Spectrum and I was with them for 5 years. I left because they wouldn’t roll over my promotional pricing and I could tell they were scaling back on their channel offerings, and I was right.
that is plenty from what I understand
