While there is no word on whether they'll be carrying NBC(something always has to give, or be missing, with these services), they will have CBS. Fingers crossed on if they'll have CBS Sports Network.

Thanks for the info.
Yes. CBS Sports Network is included along with the Pop network.

Signed up for the beta to get access to the CBS Sports Network channel, which broadcasts the bulk of my local college team's football and basketball games. If they have all the other channels I need and DVR functions, I could see myself jumping from Vue down the road, assuming comparable pricing.

Hey, when it comes to beta testing, it's either Hulu Live or DirecTV Now. At least with Hulu Live, you KNOW that you're beta testing.

And not paying for the privilege ... assuming I'm allowed in the beta.

By the way, those who have an Xbox One may be in a good position to be accepted into the beta, as I imagine it's the least common device of those currently available for the beta (Apple TV, iOS, Android, Xbox).

A first look at Hulu's radical redesign for live TV.

I don't think there will be a traditional epg which imo is a big mistake by these internet tv providers. Vue has one but wish they would implement a video window on the Amazon Fire tv like they have on the PlayStation.
Don't these providers get that we want a seamless transition from cable and satellite?

I signed up. I just have a good feeling about Hulu Live. I've always wanted to beta test something new so hopefully I will get an invite.

Here's a hands on. Looks promising though that's what I said about Directv Now until I actually tried it myself.

Just got a tweet from Cord Cutter News that the second round of invites have gone out.

Either they are not getting the feedback they wanted or things are going smoothly so far.

Well, so far there are only 150 beta testers, that is if ALL accepted the invitation to participate. Also it looks like they are beta testing mobile devices(IOS & Android) & Xbox 1(& 4th gen Apple TV), they haven't gotten to beta testing Roku & Fire TV devices yet.
