I don't know about cheaper, but not twice as expensive, either, which is pretty much my threshold for considering streaming. I've recently auditioned Youtube TV, DirecTV Now, and Hulu Live, and I found all badly lacking in features I need and use every day in Windows Media Center. Youtube TV was the best of the bunch for me, and I thought it might be viable until I found most of my recordings had unskippable ads. Turns out networks are free to substitute "On Demand" version of shows for freshly made (fake) "recordings," replacing them with the actual recordings after several days, the latter having the broadcast commercials that are skippable. Weirdest fricking thing I've ever heard of and a total dealbreaker.

We have YouTube TV and have been pleased with it. We get all of the local channels in BR and are grandfathered in at $35. No telling for how long though. Our Cox cable was around $100 when we had it. The big draw for me is no contract.

Yeah, the value proposition is eroding which isn't good considering the interface is still not where it needs to be.

Did this last year and I am completely satisfied. I pay just a little more and I get everything I want with one device, one service, and it works like it's supposed to.

Cord cutting was interesting but never convenient. Took the fun out of watching tv.
