| Feature | Vidnow TV (New) | YouTube TV | Sling TV (Orange + Blue) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Base Price | $39.99/mo | $72.99/mo | $55.00/mo | | Channels (Base) | 40 | 100+ | 45 | | Sports (NFL/ESPN) | Add-on ($10/mo) | Included | Included (Orange) | | Cloud DVR | 500 Hours (Included) | Unlimited (9 months) | 50 Hours | | Multi-View | Yes (4 streams) | Yes (4 streams) | No | | FAST Channels | 45 Included | 0 | 0 |

Verdict: The new Vidnow TV is cheaper than YouTube TV and more robust than Sling TV. Its weakness remains the lack of Turner networks (TNT, TBS) in the base package, though the company has hinted at a "Warner Pack" launching next quarter.
