Streaming Extras

Regardless of the service you pick, it will almost certainly support the streaming devices you already own. These include Android TV and Samsung smart TVs; the Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku “stick” devices; and mobile devices running iOS and Android. In addition, Fubo and FanDuel support some other smart TVs and the Xbox gaming system.

Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM allow you to stream on essentially unlimited devices (Fubo is technically capped at 10). Since it offers limited channels, FanDuel Sports Network only allows up to 2 simultaneous devices.

Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM both provide unlimited cloud DVR storage. FanDuel has no DVR.

Multiple streaming services offer national networks such as ESPN, ABC, and TNT that showcase the Lightning, Heat, and Rays on a regular basis. These services include SlingTV and Hulu + Live TV.
