Anyone have Hulu with live TV?

I have been using YouTube TV for years now. The main thing I like about it is the unlimited DVR feature because I rarely watch live TV shows unless it's sports. And if I do miss a game or can't see it from the start I can always record it or go back and start from the beginning of the game if I am not watching it live.

I was looking into maybe switching to Hulu with live TV next year, though, because of the new deal ESPN has with WWE premium live events. Apparently with the new deal the premium live events won't be aired with YouTube TV, and you would have to subscribe to the new ESPN app to see them, which is $30 a month. However, if you have Hulu live TV the WWE premium live events will be able to be seen without having to subscribe to the separate ESPN app.

I was just wondering about if I was not able to see a show live on Hulu, how long does it take for the show to be able to be streamed later after it airs? Are you able to see replays of sports on ESPN if you don't catch them live? What about sports on other networks, like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox? Can you stream those later? If you catch a game in the middle can you start it over from the beginning?
 
Disney owns Hulu. Hulu Live should be available through Disney within the next year. I’d recommend just waiting to get a Disney account until it is fully streamlined.
 
I wouldn't make any changes untl next year. I was just wondering about how long it took to stream shows on Hulu that already aired and if you could stream sports replays on other networks besides ESPN.
 
I guess my point is - what it looks like now is different than what it will look like once the new platform is rolled out. So it’s hard to give a concrete answer.
 
We’ve had Hulu live for years. It’s been fine. Seems like the pricing is similar to the other services. I’ve shopped around a few times but never found a reason to change.
