YouTube TV vs Hulu+ Live TV TVE support

I didn't see a thread for the questions recently so I thought I'd ask. Can someone tell me which gets better TVE support between YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV? Especially for locals. I can get YouTube TV through T-Mobile for $55 a month or I can get Hulu for $68.99 which is just live channels (no DVR or Hulu library). I'd prefer the cheaper option but I also want to get the most out of whichever service I pick.

Here's a tool on Channels DVR website that can check each one for you:

Thanks. This helps a lot!

I'm not familiar with the 2FA issue with YouTube TV. How do I get around it?

I've read some folks here say they create a new, seperate Google/YouTube account (linked by Family Sharing, so it shares the YouTube TV subscription) that has 2FA disabled, specifically for TVE/Channels DVR integration. There have been threads about it here.

That is probably the only reason I no longer have youtube tv even though I got it working. The 2FA stinks. Just think if you don't setup as above. Each time you change a channel you have to hit accept on your cell phone in order for the channel to show. Hence the two factor authentication :wink: So that is why you have to make that workaround. Can you imagine if you missed a recording because you didn't hit accept. Ugggg is all I can say.
