Anyone using YouTube TV?

We've had it for about a year. Switched from SlingTV. We also had PS Vue for a while.

YouTubeTV has been my favorite so far. We get all of the local channels in BR. WatchESPN does still work.

You need to have a provider log in to use Watch ESPN/SECN+

I just checked, and Youtube TV is on the list of providers on the log in page, so you should be good.

But any device that you can stream SEC+ you can also stream youtube TV

ETA: tuning in for reviews of YTTV. A friend of mine has it and loves it. I plan on switching once my DirecTV introductory deal runs out in Feb, Worried about streaming everything since I only have ATT 12mbps

It's the best $40 I spend every month.

Real question is usage cap

---

I guess it depends on your family, but we watch probably at least 2 to 3 hours of tv per day (mostly nba, nfl and cfb) and we've never come close to the usage cap.


Was actually quite surprised when I checked our usage and saw we typically use only 30-40% of the cap

I heard DirecTV Now is better than YTTV

---

I've had DirecTV Now since it came out a few years ago. I think better sometimes comes down to the device being used. DTVNow works best with the Apple TV I got when I signed up for the service. but even then, they changed some of the UI with the most recent update a few months back and it can be a bit of a pain. I also use it with a Roku, and it's not bad there per se, but still some laggy interface/ buffering issues.

actually thinking of switching to YTTV, will probably at least do a trial.

Have it, but much prefer PSVue. Only reason I have it is because my LG OLED does not include an app for PSVue but does for YTTV.

There is a LOT missing from YTTV that I like:

Discovery Network
Food Channel
HGTV
DIY
MGM
Travel Channel
Bloomberg Financial
Comedy Central
Weather Channel
The Learning Channel

No online service will have everything, but PSVue was rock solid and much less compressed artifacting than YTTV.

But... the wife likes it because she doesn't have to switch to the Shield and use a different remote in the family room. Gotta' keep Momma happy.

Wow, what a shitty channel list for youtube tv.

It should be $20 a month with that list.

The majority of those and the lack of Nick Jr is keeping me from switching from Sling. I was one of the original users of Sling back in 2015 and it’s been solid but want to switch to YTTV to get locals. I live out in the middle of nowhere and can’t get OTA.
