With so many excellent streaming services out there, finding the perfect fit for you can be more difficult than anticipated. This only gets more complicated if you’re cutting the cord with cable, but still want to stream live TV. If your household lives for sports, then one of the best options available is Fubo (formerly Fubo TV). It features plenty of sports, along with related content to inhale in between games. It also has access to plenty of great new movies and TV shows. You’ll even be able to record them, thanks to the integrated cloud DVR feature.
There’s still plenty to learn about Fubo though, so we’ve put together this guide to teach you everything you need to know about it; including pricing, device compatibility, and what some of the channels are you’ll be able to enjoy. There’s also a decent handful of competitive platforms to choose from, including Hulu Plus Live TV and Sling TV.
There are four Fubo plans — Fubo Pro, Fubo Elite, Fubo Ultimate, and Fubo Latino — that range in price from $35 per month to $110 per month.
Here’s how the total Fubo cost shakes out:

Fubo Pro is the new base plan and gets you 200 channels for $80 a month. With that, you’ll have unlimited cloud-based DVR (the ability to “record” shows to play back later) and the ability to watch on up to 10 screens at home and two away from your home network. This is what Fubo calls “unlimited” despite it having a pretty clear limit.
Get access to 250 channels, including live sports from the NFL, NBA, NFL, the PGA Tour, and more, instant access to over 36,000 free On Demand titles, with steep discounts available for both new and returning subscribers. Best of all, prices are locked in for two years, so you can wave goodbye to unprecedented price increases. Oh, and did we mention you can watch up to four different sports games at the same time, skip commercials on select primetime shows, and watch and record up to 16 shows at once? Do cable the right way and try Dish today.
Fubo Elite with Sports Plus ramps things up to $100 a month and has 306 channels (with 130-plus events in 4K), another 54 from the Fubo Extra plan, and another 11 from News Plus. It also includes NFL RedZone. You still get unlimited cloud-based DVR, and 10 simultaneous screens at home, with two on the road.

Fubo Deluxe is $110 a month and offers 326 channels in all (with the usual events in 4K), plus the same extra channels as Elite — 54 Fubo Extra and 11 News Plus channels. It also includes SportsPlus with NFL RedZone, MGM+, and International Sports Plus. This plan also includes unlimited cloud-based DVR, and 10 unlimited screens, plus two away from home.
Fubo Latino is $33 a month (you may see an initial sales price) and offers 61 channels of Latino-themed content and unlimited cloud-based DVR. You can only watch two screens at once on this plan.
All of these plans come with a free seven-day trial. You can pay monthly or quarterly — but there’s no discount if you fork over the cash for three months at a time.
Fubo has a competitive slate of channels. That starts with your local broadcast affiliates, though you’ll want to check the Fubo website because those can vary slightly depending on where you live.

Pantaya for $6 a month
MGM+ for $6 a month
Or you can get Showtime, Starz and MGM+ bundled together for $20 a month, saving you $8 a month.
There are a number of additional sports and news packages, too. Some of it is in addition to what you’d get with Fubo Pro or Fubo Elite, but there also is some overlap. Here’s how it all breaks down:
Sports Plus with NFL RedZone ($11 a month): This gets you NFL RedZone, which flips through the games as teams are about to score. It also has NBA TV, NHL Network, MLB Network, MLB Strike Zone, Stadium, Tennis Channel, Zone Futbol, ESPNU, PAC-12 Networks, ESPNews, VSIN, Game Plus, Fight Network, and TVG2.

Fubo, at one point, was the only live TV streaming service in the U.S. to offer up anything in 4K. (Yes, upscaled 4K, not native.) That was and remains limited to live sports, and it’s still better than nothing. But events remain fairly few and far between, with maybe a game or race a day. (Here’s the full Fubo 4K schedule.)
Advertisement
And Fubo isn’t the only 4K game in town anymore — YouTube TV also offers up pretty much the same events from the likes of NBC Sports and Fox. One major change from 2022, however, is that Fubo no longer throws in 4K content for free anymore on the Pro plan. Like with YouTube TV, you’ll have to pay up if you want any sort of show in 4K resolution. That means you’ll have to eschew the $80-a-month Pro plan and skip straight to the $100-a-month Elite with Sports Plus package, or the $110-a-month Deluxe plan.
And the usual caveats still apply. You’ll need to have a TV with a 4K panel, and any other device you’re using to actually stream Fubo TV will need to support 4K resolution.
The short version is this: If you have a relatively new device — be it a streaming stick, connected TV, or even a web browser — you should be able to get to Fubo. The app is available on every major streaming platform.
Here’s the more detailed breakdown:
Amazon Fire TV: This goes for all Fire TV devices, as well as the awkwardly named Fire TV Edition TVs (basically, that’s a TV with Fire TV OS as the operating system.)
Android TV/Google TV: This means devices like Nvidia Shield and Chromecast with Google TV, as well as other devices that are running full builds of Android TV. The same goes for televisions with Android TV as the operating system.
Apple TV: From the fourth-generation box and newer.
Android phones/tablets: So long as you have Android 5.0 or higher — and you almost certainly do.
Roku: It’s the biggest streaming device in the U.S. and fully supported for Model 3700X and up.
Xbox: If you have Xbox One, One S, or One X, you’re good to go.
Smart TVs: You can watch Fubo on Vizio from 2016, Samsung from 2015, LG from 2018, and Hisense from 2020.
iOS/iPad OS: From iOS 13 and up and iPad OS 13.1 and up.
Web browsers: You’re good on Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
Halloween season is finally here, meaning there’s no better time to watch a horror movie. Be it a tale of exorcism or a psychological thriller about the dangers lurking in every corner, horror movies have a unique way of tackling our primal fears, making us more alert, and giving us a much-needed fright. The streamer has a considerable collection of horror movies covering every subgenre and theme under the sun, so there’s no better place to be this Halloween season.
Some of the best new movies to stream offer chills and thrills while delivering a high-quality experience for terror-starved audiences. Netflix stays consistent every month with new and exciting arrivals that make up for whatever movies are leaving the service. We also found some of the best movies on Netflix, to give you something to watch between scary movies. With supernatural stories, psychological thrillers, and good old-fashioned slashers, these are the best horror movies that Netflix has to offer, and we wholeheartedly recommend them.
There’s a certain level of fandom you hit when you research a band’s tour set list before they come to your city. And some of us like to relive great concerts with some quick research on setlist.fm. The next logical step, once we’re armed with this information, is to create a playlist on our preferred streaming service for quick access. Thanks to third-party options like Setify, the process is easy for Apple Music and Spotify users, but you still have to take the time to do it.
Apple Music has now given artists the ability to turn set lists into playlists thanks to info from tour info site Bandsintown. Once an artist has connected the two services, they can select the type of show in Apple Music for Artists (concert, tour or residency) and link it to upcoming dates on Bandsintown. From there, artists can set a publish date and use search to build out the playlist. These collections of songs can include original tunes the artist covers or collaborations with other acts. Apple Music allows unlimited set list playlists for past or future shows, but the service recommends that artists select a track listing that most accurately reflects the whole tour if they’re making one for an entire run of dates.
Set lists playlists aren’t entirely new on Apple Music. The service has been curating playlists for popular tours for a while now, like Zach Bryan’s 2024 Quittin’ Time Tour. What’s more, Apple Music is touting this new tool as a promotional feature for artists, so there are a number of ways to share the playlists once they’re live. However, it will also be a great item for fans who either want more info on the songs they can expect to hear, can’t make it to a stop on a tour or want to relive the experience of seeing the band in person.
Of course, if one of your favorites doesn’t hop on this bandwagon, you still have options for set list playlists. With Setify, you can link either Apple Music or Spotify and pull in data from setlist.fm in order to make your collections. It’s not perfect, but it works well most of the time, and you can always adjust things in the streaming service apps if you need to further curate a playlist. I recently missed one of my all-time favorites at Furnace Fest, but thanks to this combo, I can at least get a small piece of Blindside playing through About a Burning Fire.

Sadly, today’s Strands didn’t include my favorite collective noun: a prickle of porcupines. I’m also partial to a conspiracy of lemurs. Aren’t they great! But it did include a KNOT (of snakes) among the far more prosaic likes of PACK, HERD, FLOCK and SWARM.

What is NYT Strands?
Strands is the NYT’s new word game, following Wordle and Connections. It’s now out of beta so is a fully fledged member of the NYT’s games stable and can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
I’ve got a full guide to how to play NYT Strands, complete with tips for solving it, so check that out if you’re struggling to beat it each day.
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is preparing to fly home aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule at the end of the seven-month Crew-8 mission, but he recently found time to snap an incredible night shot featuring the Nile River, the Nile Delta, Cairo, and beyond.
“Moonlight illuminates Cairo and the Mediterranean on a mostly clear night,” Dominick wrote in a message accompanying the photo that was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
“We were up late last night sleep shifting in preparation for undocking and return to Earth in the next few days,” Dominick continued. “Cairo at night is one of my favorite views. I am happy the timing worked out to see it one more time before we depart.”

Captured from 250 miles above Earth, Dominick used a 50mm lens set at f1.2, 1/10 second, and ISO 3200. He doesn’t specify the camera body but going by his earlier work, it’s likely to have been a Nikon Z9.
Dominick, on his first missions to space, has been wowing fans with some incredible imagery taken during his seven months aboard the orbital outpost. But this latest shot must be one of his finest night images yet.
The American astronaut is making final preparations with three other astronauts for the return journey to Earth. The voyage has already been delayed due to poor weather conditions in the splashdown zone off the coast of Florida.

NASA said on Sunday that there had been “a marginal improvement in forecast weather conditions in potential splashdown sites off the coast of Florida for the return of the Crew-8 mission,” adding that Crew-8 is currently targeting undocking from the ISS no earlier than 9:05 p.m. ET on Monday, October 21. It added that the earliest splashdown opportunity for the Crew Dragon spacecraft is about 12:55 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 22.
Update 10/17/24 11:05am ET: Amazon has raised the price of the 55-inch model by $100, which brings the final price down to $1,297. While not quite as low as it was just a few hours ago, that’s still about $500 off the original price and a good deal.
I don’t know about you but I will be spending most of the upcoming cold months sitting on my couch and watching television (with some books thrown in). The only thing I’m missing is a really good television set and, while I’ll be opting for a more budget-friendly pick, I’m tempted by the sale on LG’s C3 Series OLED TV. Right now, the 55-inch model is down to $1,197 from $1,800 — a 34 percent discount. The all-time low price isn’t the only version on sale, with the 42-inch option dropping to $997 from $1,197.
LG released the C3 series last year as a mid-range OLED option. It offers an a9 AI Processor Gen6, HDR tone mapping, AI upscaling and object-based picture sharpening. The TVs also come with Brightness Booster, which — though not to the level of some of its competitors — makes it easier to watch even in a relatively sunny room.

If you want the newest model then check out LG’s C4 OLED series. The 2024 release is also on sale, with the 55-inch version down to $1,297 from $2,000 — the same 35 percent discount we recently saw on Prime Day. The C4 TVs offer nearly 1,000 nits of brightness and a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. This model will also wirelessly connect with LG soundbars, foregoing the need for messy cables.

Good morning! Let’s play Connections, the NYT’s clever word game that challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so read on if you need clues.
I’m not sure whether others will find this quite as difficult as I did, but I made an early mistake and was slightly worried about my streak – which is admittedly only at six, but hey you have to take what you can in this game.
The problem for me was that the easiest group, KINDS OF BEANS, contained one I didn’t know, NAVY; in the UK, where I am, these are instead called haricot beans. I spotted that PINTO, KIDNEY and MUNG all clearly went together but guessed LIVER as the fourth (I think I was confused with LIMA) and when that was wrong didn’t really know what to do next.

So I moved on, and found the green ATTRACT group, then the actually-fairly-easy blue AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTER POSITIONS group. Revisiting ‘beans’ with a smaller pool of words I vaguely recalled a mention of NAVY beans in some movie or other so played that and got it right. That meant I didn’t need to solve the purple __POOL group, which is just as well as I had no clue about that one.
YELLOW: BIT OF NEWSPAPER WRITING ARTICLE, COLUMN, FEATURE, STORY
BLUE: TABLE TENNIS NEEDS BALL, NET, PADDLE, TABLE
PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS BUTT, FORE, OAR, SEW
What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
