How it Works: Hardware and Devices

fuboTV can be watched on a range of devices. As a pure over-the-top streaming service, it doesn’t require any special purchases. To view fuboTV, all you need is a compatible device and an active subscription. Some sports events are available in 4K resolution, including Thursday Night Football games on FOX.

The following devices are compatible with fuboTV:

  • Roku
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Apple TV
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Samsung Smart TV
  • Chromecast

Cloud Storage

Every fuboTV account includes at least 30 hours of cloud DVR storage at no extra charge. The Family and Extra packages include 500 hours of storage. Saved programs are synced across your fuboTV devices. That way, you can hit record from one device, start watching on another, and finish the program on yet another device.

Regional restrictions

There may be minor regional restrictions, but nothing serious. We checked out several locations. In In New York, there were 200 channels available. In Dallas, 198 channels were on offer. In Los Angeles, Miami, and Atlanta, the number dropped to 196 channels.

Customer service

From a tour of the site, it’s clear fuboTV prefers to handle customer support queries online rather than by phone. Technically, it offers customer support at 844-441-3826. However, when you go to the Help Center on the Fubo website, there’s no mention of the phone number. Instead, you get a comprehensive guide to every possible question that has seemingly ever been asked, from the obvious (like “What channels are available on fuboTV?), to the very specific (e.g. “What NFL games can I watch this week?). The Help Center also offers assistance with setting up your fuboTV, and it even has a useful 2-minute video that goes through all the steps you need to take in order to get started.

Summary

fuboTV started out as a soccer streaming service in 2015, pivoted to an all-sports service in 2017, and expanded into a general streaming service in 2019. These days it offers an extensive catalog of news and entertainment channels, but live sports are still its biggest strength. fuboTV is a little more expensive than the average streaming service, but if you’re into live sports – American and global, with some events in 4K – then the price is undoubtedly worth it.
