Vidgo began life as a streaming service featuring sports and Spanish-language programming from throughout the Americas and Spain, as well as a skinny English-language package. In December 2019, though, Vidgo entered the streaming competition fully with two beefed-up English language packages to rival FuboTV, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, AT&T TV Now, and YouTube TV. Here’s everything you need to know about what Vidgo offers and a review of how it compares, including channels, cost, and more.

How much is Vidgo? Plans, channels, and pricing

There are three Vidgo plans to choose from, two English-language packages and one Spanish-language package. The English Plus Package brings over 110 channels spanning news, entertainment, and sports, a baseline package for $60. While that’s a price hike from where it’s been previously, it’s still a great deal for the channels you get, when you compare it to other streaming services.

If you’re looking for Spanish programming, there’s a Latino package with more than 60 channels, including BeIN Sports’ Spanish-language channel, for $30 a month.

Vidgo English Plus Package

The baseline Vidgo plan for English-language subscribers carries an impressive group of 110+ channels, including selections from throughout the Disney and ESPN universe, ABC and Fox, an array of sports programming including BeIN Sports and the NFL Network, and a great number of entertainment choices.

Vidgo English Premium Package

For $20 more a month, Premium subscribers get everything that Plus subscribers get, with an additional 40 channels in the mix. For MTV fans, that means MTV Classic and MTV2 are added to the package. For sports fans, that means the full group of Pac-12 channels and NFL RedZone.

Social TV

One feature you might enjoy from the service that makes it unique among major streaming services is Social TV: the ability to join an online chat service tied to what’s streaming. Social TV allows viewers to communicate with each other in real-time in the same Vidgo ecosystem. So, for example, you can tune into an NFL game on Fox, witness the team you’re rooting for scoring a touchdown, and then express yourself. Whether it’s a trendy gimmick or a game-changer other streaming services will adopt remains to be seen, of course.


Vidgo local channels

Two of the four major networks, ABC and Fox, are part of both English-language packages, while CBS and NBC are not. For streamers, the lack of local channels is one drawback that often weighs into the decision-making process.


Vidgo add-ons

Vidgo is a fairly skinny streaming service compared to Fubo TV and AT&T TV Now, so you won’t get premium channels like HBO.


 

Vidgo streaming devices

Vidgo is available via the following devices.

Apple TVAndroid TVAmazon Fire
iOSRokuChrome, Firefox, and Safari
web browsers

Vidgo DVR and multiple screens

Vidgo allows for content to be streamed from up to three devices at the same time. While there’s no DVR service yet, Vidgo indicates that could be coming soon.


Vidgo on-demand and offline options

VOD (video on demand) provides on-demand content for Vidgo channels. While there is no offline content available on this streaming service, there are plenty of on-demand options.

 


 

Review: Vidgo vs. The Competition

Vidgo vs. Sling TV

Sling TV offers smaller packages of channels at a discount from normal streaming TV packages, starting at $35 per month and topping out at $50 per month. For just $35 a month, for example, you can get 47 channels with Sling Blue, with the $50 Sling Orange + Blue package including 53 channels and DVR.

Vidgo offers more channels in its Core package and decidedly more channels in its Plus package. If you’re looking to live stream primarily for sports or entertainment, Vidgo provides more choice for a comparable price. Sling has some add-on packages that bring more channels—but also bring more cost. However, if you’re looking for news, Sling wins, carrying both CNN and MSNBC.

Vidgo vs. AT&T TV Now

AT&T TV Now has a comparable channel selection to Vidgo in its base packages, but AT&T TV Now outpaces it when you get into the more robust channel packages. Those packages come with additional costs, though, and even AT&T TV Now’s base Plus and Max packages are pricier than Vidgo’s Plus lineup (though Plus and Max come with HBO). AT&T TV Now does also carry some Spanish-language channels, though they’re not as diverse a range of countries.

AT&T TV Now is the streaming service most like cable, while Vidgo offers the cost-savings and device options that streaming fans associate with cord-cutting.

Vidgo vs. FuboTV

FuboTV may be a little costlier than Vidgo, but it offers unlimited DVR (whereas Vidgo has yet to add a DVR option), original programming, and even some crossover with Vidgo in Spanish-language TV. Fubo also edges out Vidgo in major networks, offering CBS, NBC, and Fox compared to Vidgo’s ABC and Fox.

Fubo is particularly strong with sports programming, and now that Fubo has ESPN, it may even be stronger in sports. If you’re looking for a more budget-minded option and you wouldn’t miss center-left news options, Vidgo might be right for you, but Fubo’s superior in a number of other areas and very well could be worth the extra cost.

Vidgo vs. Hulu Live TV

Hulu Live TV will set you back $54.99 a month and offers fewer channel options than either Core or Plus. It also has a modest Spanish-language package that offers a bit of crossover with Vidgo’s two Spanish-language packages.

But Hulu Live TV comes with Hulu and its massive on-demand library, and it comes with 50 hours of DVR a month. If live sports and entertainment are what you’re looking for, Vidgo’s better equipped and the more cost-conscious option. But if you want more movies and add-on possibilities, it’s worth your while to give Hulu a look.

Vidgo vs. YouTube TV

YouTube TV is now a little pricier than Vidgo but has a lot going for it. YouTube does offer all four major networks (and attendant local programming in most markets), a full slate of ESPN networks, and a number of other sports options. There is, in fact, quite a bit of overlap in what both streaming services offer, with a slight sports edge to Vidgo for offering BeIN Sports and Pac-12 Networks (though several MLS teams have their channels on YouTube TV, so it’s all in perspective).

YouTube TV, however, delivers with unlimited DVR and a group of add-ons that includes Showtime and AMC Premiere. If you’re comparing English-language packages, YouTube TV arguably brings a little more to the table.


 

Is Vidgo worth it?

If you’re a Spanish-language viewer and you want sports and programming from throughout the Americas, Vidgo provides a great streaming option. So far, Vidgo’s English-language play is bolstered by its solid selection of channehttps://www.kqzyfj.com/click-8036307-14302981?sid=705336-how-to-stream-vidgo&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vidgo.com%2F, though we’d like to see more news options than Fox News Channel made available, and it could certainly use DVR capabilities. It’ll be interesting to see if that’s a promise that Vidgo makes good on in the months to come. But, on the whole, Vidgo is a welcome addition to the streaming landscape, and perhaps Social TV’s a thing that will catch on beyond just Vidgo.
