The three main fuboTV plans are:

1. fubo Premier: includes 65+ English language channels, including sports networks like NBCSN and FS1, regional sports networks, and cable networks like A&E, Bravo, and FX.
2. fubo Latino: includes 10+ Spanish language channels, including sports like Fox Deportes, and cable networks like Univision and Nat Geo Mundo.
3. fubo Português: includes 5+ Portuguese language channels, including Benfica TV, RTP International, and GOL TV.

Note: fubo Premier include far more channels the other plans, but fubo Latino and fubo Português offer Spanish and Portuguese language sports content that most online streaming services don't have at all.

Does fuboTV Have Local Channels?
Like most other online television streaming services, fuboTV offers local channels in areas where the services has contracted with local affiliates. Depending on the media market you live in, fuboTV may offer local CBS, Fox, NBC, or even Telemundo channels.

For a full list of the cities where local channels are available, see fuboTV's Help Center.

If you live in a media market where fuboTV doesn't offer local channels, you'll still have access to on demand content.

How Many Shows Can You Watch at Once on fuboTV?
There isn't a limit on the number of shows you can watch at once with fuboTV, but there is a limit on how many devices can use the service from the same account at any given time.

That essentially limits the number of shows you can watch as well, but you can pay an additional fee to bump the limit up.

How Fast Does Your Internet Need to Be to Watch fuboTV?
To achieve the best video quality, and reduce the likelihood of buffering or stuttering, fuboTV recommends a minimum internet download speed of 20 Mbps.

In addition to the three main subscription options, fuboTV offers a number of add-on packages. In fact, if you subscribe to the fubo Premier package, you can even add the channels from the Spanish or Portuguese subscriptions to your lineup for an additional monthly fee.

Most of the add-on packages are sports focused. For instance, the International Sports Plus package adds channels like Fox Soccer Plus and the English and Spanish language versions of GOL TV.

Another sports-themed add-on package brings over a dozen more channels, including regional PAC12 channels, NFL Red Zone, and Fox College Sports.

Outside of sports, there are also packages that add outdoors-themed channels, kids channels, and even a package of Showtime channels.

Other add-ons include increased DVR capacity and an option to watch more shows, on more devices, at once.

By default, fuboTV comes with a digital video recorder (DVR) that you can use to record live sports and other shows. It's pretty easy to use, but it does have a limited capacity.

If you want to record more games than the DVR allows, there is an option to pay for increased DVR storage.

In addition to live television shows and sports, fuboTV also offers on-demand content that you can watch any time you like.

If you live in an area where fuboTV isn't able to provide you with live local channels, you'll still have access to on-demand content from CBS, FOX, NBC, and most of the cable channels that the service carries.

Some online television streaming services offer movie rentals, but fuboTV doesn't. The service does include a lot of on-demand movies that you can watch for free, and many of the live streaming channels play movies as well, but there is no option to rent newer movies.

In addition to the on-demand movies that fuboTV includes by default, you also have the option to add Showtime to your subscription, which adds even more movies.

If the sports content offered by fuboTV is just what you're looking for, but you also like to rent movies online from time to some, you're better off using a standalone service like Amazon or Vudu for the rentals.
