YouTube TV. Anyone here have it?

I'm about to cut the DIRECTV cord. I've been researching streaming TV services, and YouTube TV comes up highly regarded from what I can gather. If any of you have it, would you tell me how you like it please?

We did exactly that. DTV was $100+ per month. YouTube TV is $55 and does everything DTV did for us. We are perfectly happy with the service and saving $50 a month.

Wd, after add-ons, I'm paying $185 per month!

[wdfifteen]

Yikes! Add - ons will still cost you. I think we pay about $30 a month for Hulu, Netflix, and something else MrsWd can’t live without (Stars or Amazon I think). I watch Hulu - the others not so much.

Our whole entertainment products plus $75 a month for DSL from Frontier is about $150 - $160.

I tried it but It was missing 1 or 2 networks that we like to watch. I don't recall which ones exactly. I'll probably be going back to Hulu. I've used YoutubeTv, Hulu, DirectvNow, Fubo, Sling. DTVNOW had the best user interface and is the only one that lists channels in alphabetical order in their guide, also I think the only one that once you run through all the channels it starts back over from the top where Sling and others you have to work your way back up. Hulu was the most stable for me but they are very restrictive when it comes to multiple streams. With Hulu you also get access to their on demand and movie library.

YouTube TV lets you arrange the order in which the channels appear. The ones we watch most are at the top, obviously.

+1 for YouTubeTV. In addition to your local network affiliates, the DVR feature has no cap on storage capacity and the base plan offers most of the popular cable networks. The only channel we've missed not having from time to time is History.

That’s interesting. I’ll try to figure that out.

Being a streaming service, Youtube TV depends on an app on your phone, tablet, or computer to manage a number of its functions. I set up the channel alignment on my computer, but you can do it on a tablet or phone.

I cut directtv a couple of months ago for youtubetv. You won’t regret it

[onewhippedpuppy]

Another one here, saved about $100 per month going to a combo of YoutubeTV, Netflix, and Disney+. No regrets!

We just cancelled Direct TV last week and replaced it with YouTubeTV, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Well, we had Prime already and have not used it much at all. We are saving at least $50/month.

I was surprised when I called to cancel, all DirectTV asked was "Why" and I said "Too expensive". No attempt to try to keep me after 20+ years. I guess AT&T has shown their business model of raise pricing by 50% and let customers go without concern. I hope that works for them.

The only issue we have had is Xfinity bandwidth. We are "supposed" to have 70Mbps. Sometimes we have 80. Sometimes we have 25 and saw 10 two days ago. When you have two streaming devices and a Zoom meeting going, that is simply not enough to keep things flowing.
