![]() While not a deal breaker, because the app forces you to navigate tabs so often, it does become a bit of an annoyance over time. This navigation frustration is compounded due to FuboTV's lack of a slide-to-select menu bar each time you want to go to a new tab you have to move to it and then click in on the Siri Remote. ![]() I found this to be one of the more cumbersome aspects of the app's design, because I typically just wanted to jump directly into a live TV guide to check out what was playing now, and not have to navigate three separate tabs to get an idea of what to watch. These three tabs show live events happening now, and ones you can watch on demand. There's featured content that'll be airing soon or is live now, live news, popular shows and movies, and categories like "best shows of the 90s" and "best shows of 2018."Įach show's page has a list of episodes and seasons (if previous seasons are available on FuboTV, which is a bit of a mixed bag in my experience), and if an episode is marked as “Upcoming,” you can record it.Īfter Home, there are tabs for Sports, Shows, and Movies before you get to FuboTV's live Guide tab. On the bottom of the Home tab in the Apple TV app, FuboTV has a list of numerous TV shows and films for you to check out. In terms of user interface as a whole, FuboTV excels with a clear and easy-to-grasp menu system, although tab organization is questionable and the app can feel bloated due to the amount of real estate dedicated to specific movies, TV shows, and sports. The selected channel starts automatically playing at launch, but the UI hovers over the playing video (akin to Netflix's autoplay videos), and to go full screen you have to tap once on the channel. When the FuboTV Apple TV app is first opened, a menu screen with a horizontal list of live tv channels is displayed (seen below). As a note, we're focusing mainly on the Apple TV app for each service, unless otherwise mentioned. Like most streaming TV services, FuboTV and DirecTV Now have many similarities, but a few key differences that could lead you to choosing one over the other. In order to compare some of these services, in this article we've looked at FuboTV and DirecTV Now specifically. FuboTV (left) and DirecTV Now (right) on Apple TV 4K
