Getting away from Direct TV tomorrow. Switching to one of the above, leaning to YouTube. Any opinions?

Me too... I am going Xfinity. I wanted YouTube TV but my dad is elderly and we were concerned that he would not know how to use the Roku.

Good luck w infinity! It ain’t cheap.
I thought I was on a plan to lower my bill $40 the only thing I was losing was Netflix. Which I was ok with, plus I had to use auto pay. Well next I know I lose HBO and Showtime, so when I ask about it , well sir you signed the doc u sign you should ha e read it first!! I was only hold for an hour, tired I trusted what the guy told me. Tough you signed. Well after a few more rows I think I have it were I ok with it. Nope bill went back up $40 but I did get auto pay which doesn’t give me reduction. Too tired to fight right now

Dish, better than all those options, they will work with you when your contract is up as well. If you want sports and heart is set on streaming then FUBO is your answer.

They are masters of wearing you down.

I love YouTubeTV. Missing History Channel and local regional sports networks is downside. YouTubeTV has Sunday Ticket now, unlimited recordings is awesome, I can watch on my phone or ipad no matter where I'm traveling in the country, etc.

If you're interested in keeping DTV, let me know and I'll give you a new tactic that I stumbled into to get them to reduce your bill. It will work even after you've canceled (don't disconnect your equipment yet), it's worked out twice for me. It does not involve dickering with the retention department.

I've had YouTube TV for about four years now. They keep gradually increasing the price and unfortunately have cut a few channels that we used to watch. We're getting to the point where - when you include internet cost - it's not much cheaper than having the cable bundle. I pay roughly $75 / month now just for YouTube.

One nice feature with YouTube ... we "paused" our subscription in the summer months, as we don't watch it much. Once football season starts up in September, we can "unpause" the subscription and everything picks up right where we left off.

We like youtubetv. It takes a little time getting used to no numerical channels but you can easily customize the guide to make frequently viewed channels easily accessible.

We go south for the winter and can use it at both locations.

I've had Fubo for two years. Picked them because they carried AT&T Sportsnet (Pirates and Pens). No complaints until I couldn't watch any of the Stanley Cup finals this year. Fubo does not have TBS or TNT in their lineup.

The Wifey and I love YouTube TV. We would love to see some competition in the high speed internet, though. Sick of CoNcast.

Definitely go with YouTube TV if sports are important. The only channel I feel like it’s missing is MLB Network.

Yeah that’s another big plus. I told my wife’s family that they should drop Comcast at the beach house. We can just use my YouTube TV account there and everyone will be fine.

YouTube TV is great. The interface is so much better than the other options, also. The only channels missing to me are the MLB Network, NHL Network, and AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh

MLB network is worthless if you want to watch in state teams. Those games are blacked out even if you live hundreds of miles away.
