Thanks in advance.

I went from Hulu to YouTube TV. And I love it. Cost is pretty much the same. But I love the guide menu alot more. Sports on YouTube TV is fantastic

Love it. I can stream if away from home, cost is less than DirectTV.

I save each game in case I’d like to rewatch/re-torture myself.

Would recommend.

We recently switched from Direct to YouTube. We really like it. Some things a bit funky like the DVR deal as it records a lot. We miss a few channels like Grit and Inspiration. There are so many shows on these free apps but you have to go back and forth.

A nice feature is you can have three TVs going at a time. When we go out of town to the farm we can watch it there now and we have our daughter on it in Colorado under our name.

I have zero idea why I still have DirecTV other than pure laziness.

It's expensive, and I hate everything they are about.

We have YouTubeTV.
Pros:
1. You'll never have to reboot a cable box again.
2. Damn near unlimited DVR. You can watch something live while recording 10 other shows.
3. This is a big one. The fast forward is by far the best of all other platforms. (Yeah, try and fast forward on Amazon Prime when you're trying to watch Thursday night football. Absolute BS)

Cons:
1. No History channel.

HULU guide is so fvcking bad. But at least half my tiles disappear everytime I go back to look for another channel.

Love Youtube TV - Only Con is you only get three streams with their standard plan. 4K plan lets you have more streams.

Cons: No MLB network (or Royals regional)

Pros: Literally everything else.

I will say, based upon my experience with my in-laws in their mid-70's - it's hard for some people of a certain age to adjust to the no "channel numbers" thing. I love YTTV for many reasons, but one of the best is that it's a Google product and is easily managed via a Google account. If you've spent an hour or more on the phone dicking with DTV you know what I'm talking about.

Switched from Dish/Direct to YouTube about 2.5 years ago. Recommend. The DVR is a bit wonky but it's nice having everything stored online. You do have to have reliable streaming internet with enough bandwidth for the feed, but most people have that now.

Would add the multi view has been a game changer. Watching four games at once is awesome!

Husker games I watch just the big red but will flip to multi view at commercials and then I know exactly when the game is coming back. Can’t say enough about the multiview for college Saturday!!!
