Streaming Service Recs

So I currently have YouTubeTV. With the price increase a couple weeks ago got me thinking about the others streaming services. YTTV, Hulu+, FuboTV, Direct TV Stream all have a similar price range. I know they all carry similar channels but some carry certain channels while others don’t (like History, Etc). One thing YTTV doesn’t carry is the regional sports channels. I wish I had it so I can watch the Braves. I have MLBTV free through T Mobile but still can’t watch them because of the blackouts. My question is are any of the other streaming services better than YTTV? Never tried any other than YTTV. Just want to see what everyone thinks.

I've had all of those except Fubo. Had Sling as well though.
Id rank rank them:
YTTV
DTV Stream
Hulu Live
Sling
Hulu was decent but they dropped the sports team I wanted to watch and then they changed their interface from something clean to the dumbest, ugliest, un user friendly interface ever. Direct TV was fine but also dropped it due to sports. YTTV has more features than all of them and easier to navigate with more storage and more on demand. I don't like the price increases but it's been the best option imo. Though if you're a Disney+ guy (I'm not) the Hulu Live bundle might be the best value.
If it wasn't for sports though I could probably drop YTTV and be good with Apple+, Netflix, Max, Prime, BritBox, and Hulu

Hulu Disney bundle for us. I have 2 toddlers so that’s worth it

I’ve had YTTV for the last 5 or 6 years and I have always like how easy it is to navigate and the unlimited DVR. I just wish they offered a little bit more with the channels.
The good thing about these streaming services is that they offer a free trial and that gives me an opportunity to check them out. So last night, I went ahead and signed up for the 5 day free trial with Direct TV stream. Before I had YTTV, I had Direct TV. I really enjoyed it but it was too expensive. With their streaming service, the Choice package it’s like $89 for the first 3 months then it is $114 a month. It’s way more expensive than the others but I pretty much get all the major channels, more sports channels than YTTV, and unlimited DVR. So far, I like what I see.
