Supported features.868 So how much space do all your favorite shows need to be stored and can your family watch other programming on a separate device? Sling Tv: This particular platform does not actually feature any kind of Dvr by default, but by paying an extra $5 a month for a dedicated extra feature you can get 50 hours of storage space. When it comes to the number of devices you can watch on Sling Tv, users can watch on up to four computers. Yet the system is pretty weird. When you decide that you like the Sling Orange channels, you only get one device that you can stream on, but if you like Sling Blue, which is just different channels the same price, you can watch simultaneously on three devices. You can watch up to four devices if you get Orange + Blue on. YouTube Tv: While YouTube Tv allows users to create up to six different profiles on their account, the videos can only be viewed simultaneously on three screens. As compared to other sites, that’s quite fine. But, the best part about YouTube Tv is that it comes with the massive storage capabilities of Google which means you can store as many recordings as you want, as it comes with unlimited Dvr. The video stays stored for up to 9 months, or until you uninstall it yourself, so there’s plenty of time to catch up with anything you have not been given a chance to watch. Winner: YouTube Tv takes this one by a mile thanks to the infinite Dvr space you don’t have to pay for any extra cash and the fact you can watch three streams at the same time. Streaming Performance
