Youtube TV, anyone made the switch?

Happy with it? Pros and Cons?

Yes it beats the heck out of the other options. I dumped Cox for YouTube TV and only use them as an ISP now. The only thing I don’t like is that the History Channel is not in their lineup.

I love that I can stream Fox News in real time on one of my monitors at work. Local live news is a huge win during tornado season.

I didn’t miss any football that Cox would have had either. We’re an OU and OSU house so that’s important to us.

I like my YouTube TV. There is no higher authority on streaming. All the same, i don't watch sports or cable news ever, so I've been looking at Philo at less than half the cost. Still happy with YTTV, but it's still more channels than I watch.

We watch Youtube TV, in the RV but its on a jailbroken firestick, so it's free if we are in a park with good streaming wifi.
Wife has her TV reality programs on record via direct TV so that's not going anywhere soon at home.

Keep an eye on the Sprint/T-Mobile merger that may get approved around the end of this month. If so, 5G will happen very quickly in this central US area where there is Sprint or T-Mobile coverage and Dish Network will be involved with that to replace their satellite systems pretty soon. Seems there has already been a lot going on in the background on the ground for quite a while in preparation for this.

I dumped the Diretv app once they went up to $65 per month. I get more channels (65) for less money $50 per month with youtube tv and all the sports channels in the world.

I think we still a little left on our DirecTV service commitment . . . if we had better broadband I might consider going 100% streaming services.

we just made the move last week and ditched uverse. our new ISP is significantly faster. Now we are exploring options for streaming. Have netflix and prime already and are debating youtube tv for the live stuff or maybe checking into an antenna since the espn stuff is mostly available via the espn app on our new tv.

I can see where people quickly outpace their cable bill when they start piecing together streaming services, though.

We went full streaming last year...Used Sling tv for a while, then changed to Hulu. Hulu has a lot of live tv channels as well as movies. I stopped Netflix, and added AppleTV+. We had Dish Network Satellite for 16 years before going streaming. There's a lot of streaming options out there, and more coming....Haven't even begun to outpace our satellite bill yet. And besides the picture is way better...

DirectTv repeats their movies too much. We prefer the old westerns so go to youtube for the oldies on the Smart tV.
