After a week or so of using it and you get used to it, you'll be wondering why you were with DTV for so long...it's honestly better

I went from DirecTV to PlayStation Vue to YoutubeTV.

YoutubeTV is the best so far.

YoutubeTv is good, but this whole forum is obsessed with Google. Wrong place to look for an actual opinion.

If you love NFL network or Hallmark, they'll still recommend YoutubeTv, its the bees knees.

Went from cable to DirecTV now, to Hulu+Live tv, to Youtube TV. DirectTV was absolute dogshit. Hulu was OK, but the guide was terrible. Youtube has been absolutely great, highly recommend.

Turned all my cable shite in back in february, bought my own modem and have been on YouTube TV since. It has been great for what we watch (also have netflix, hulu, disney). Saving over $100/mo from that, and the kicker is that my wife enjoys it and can work it.

Love it. It's worth $50/month. Never ever going back to cable.

We've got HULU now. The guide does suck. Might have to give youtubetv a try. Is it cheaper than Hulu?

We're going from DTV (actual DTV not Now) to YoutubeTV. We tried it out last year and it was fine for us. I don't think it's genuinely better than DirecTV but it's a little cheaper and I'm just tired of AT&T.

All that said, the cutting the cord enthusiasm does surprise me somewhat, as we're probably only going to save like 20 bucks a month when it's all said and done. And frankly we could probably get DTV to match that, we just don't really want to deal with them anymore.

Hulu apps are buggy so I'm hesitant to try their live TV.

I went from DirecTV to Vue to DirecTVNow to Hulu Live to YouTube TV. Absolutely love it. Even if DirecTV matched in price I don't think I'd go back. I live in a Comcast/Xfinity area and they offered to beat the price but just wasn't interested.

Unlimited DVR, flawless streaming during major sporting events, taking my TV with me wherever I go, and the UI all make it a no brainer.

Went from Direct TV and then tried a few other services for a free month trial. YouTube TV won hands down.

I've considered it as my DirecTV contract is up this summer; my biggest issue is that YTTV doesn't support Dolby Digital 5.1 only stereo. If you're just using TV speakers then no big deal. If you have any kind of sound system then that's a big loss imho.

If I can get DTV to give me a promo price for a year then I'll hold off moving for now.

its the best out there but PSvue was better

the guide pisses me off when it always starts at the top if you haven't changed channels in a while

I love it. It's definitely worth the $50/mo.

We typically watch more Disney+/Netflix/Hulu but it works for us in the way we use it.

the DVR aspect of it is ridiculously great.
You can also watch all your shows without needing to download the channel's app and doing the verification thing

I love YouTube TV. Much better than any other streaming service. You get all of the local channels and sports channels minus NFL Network.

I also got my mother to cancel her Dish Network Subscription and I'm letting her use my YouTube TV acct on her Firestick. She's retired and living on social security so I'm glad I'm able to help her save some money.
