In a move that may significantly impact the streaming landscape, Fubo has added a feature previously exclusive to the industry leader, YouTube TV. Fubo now offers unlimited cloud-based DVR recording, removing the storage limitations that have plagued traditional cloud-based recording services. This move has long been anticipated, as the concept of limited cloud-based recording is outdated in an era where streaming content is increasingly prevalent and accessible.
Fubo’s decision to introduce unlimited recording is a strategic one in the highly competitive streaming market. The service has been steadily gaining ground, with 1.5 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2024. While it trails Sling TV, Hulu With Live TV, and YouTube TV in terms of subscriber count, Fubo continues to innovate and improve its offerings to attract and retain customers.
The unlimited recording feature is part of Fubo’s ongoing efforts to compete on price, channels, and features. The service’s plans start at $80 per month, offering 184 channels and simultaneous viewing on up to 10 devices. For $100 per month, subscribers can access 260 channels.
Fubo’s move to unlimited recording is expected to be well-received by subscribers, who will no longer have to worry about managing storage space or deleting recordings to make room for new content. The service’s user interface is also expected to be improved, making it easier for users to find and manage their recordings.
As the streaming market continues to evolve, services like Fubo are adapting and innovating to meet the changing needs of consumers. Unlimited cloud-based DVR recording is a major step forward, and it will likely become an industry standard in the near future.
