    What do you guys that have it think of YouTube TV. I just got my Frontier bill and it's $340. I have the TV and internet, no movie or sports packages. I just did live chat with them and I can upgrade from our 1 Gig internet to 2 Gig and YT to and the bill would be $202. I'm checking out the free 5 day trial now.

    I may or may not be using a family members YTTV account. It works great! Unlimited DVR is really nice and has all the live channels i could possibly want. Any movies i would want to watch i have on plex.
    Quality is good, dont really see any buffering issues or quality drops.

    I think standalone its around $80 for YTTV, so really depends on if you need 2g internet (you probably dont, but damn that would be nice). How much is gigabit internet?

    The trial seems like it's pretty good. It's just like watching TV and commercials, not ads like Hulu.

    I only have Frontier internet 1 Gig + Unbreakable for $94/month. Their customer svc is trash but once we got everything installed minus a few bumps in service, all has been good.

    I got spectrum Internet only so I just stream services. Got Amazon prime. Cancelled my Netflix about a year ago but thinking of maybe restarting that. I'm leeching off my buddies Disney+ w/ Hulu
    Mostly just have this stuff for background noise. Hardly ever zone into any movies or shows so it's hard to justify spending extra $ on packages

    I've got to do something.
    I'm paying ATT and DirectTV around $270 a month for 500 G internet as well paying monthly for other separate streaming services.
    At this point, I have no idea what I'm subscribing to.
    Then another $220 a month to ATT for 3 cell phones, but I don't mind paying for reliable cell service as I drive though 2 states at work..

    I tried a trial with Disney+ with MAX but my wife didn't like having to go to this or that app to watch a show.
    She isn't very tech-savvy.

    The convenience of having everything in one menu keeps me with DirecTV all these years.
    If I was single, I'd be using the attic antenna we use as a backup.
    I don't watch much TV unless it's with my wife in the evenings.

    We have had it for a few years now. MIL has netflix and we share.

    What I like about it:
    -- Just click the "+" under a show and instantly have the entire library "saved" under your saved stuff section. Makes it easy with kids or series you want to watch but can't ever remember when they are on.---This works with movies and stuff too, we have dozens of saved movies we can put on at any time. Sometimes you have to wait for it to air on cable to get access too it, but once its saved, they seem to stay basically forever.
    --It seems to remember what you watch regularly and has the shows on top as you turn it on. Sometimes this annoys me, but usually it knows what we want to watch as we only watch 2-3 shows anyways.
    --It's like regular cable pretty much as I remember it, but "modernized" in a way that isn't cheesy and mostly makes sense.

    What I do not like:
    WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CHANNEL NUMBERS:mad::mad:

    With no channel numbers, I have no way to quickly get to a different channel I like as far as I am aware, and have to go through the guide all over again. Very annoying and I don't understand why they did this.

    Edit: Spectrum fiber, 89.99 a month, maybe just raised to 109? 600mbps unlimited. Had a gig, but didn't really use it, maybe when the kids are older and we aren't all watching the same thing.

    I am a YUGE fan of Fubo. Not a huge fan of their pricing.

    YouTube TV DVR is one of my favorite features because I can ff through commercials. I absolutely despise watching commercials when I'm already paying for service.

    $120/mo unlimited data with Xfinity (Comcast)
    Peacock I think I pay $7? a month for.
    We have a subscription with Walmart (delivery) that also includes Paramount TV. I think thats around $90 a year?
    I have a blackbox that gets like 1400 channels, that cost me the system alone and zero monthly fees..no cc to input. I mainly use it for NFL as it gets every single sport channel and then some.
