Does nobody remember 10 months ago when YouTube lost sec network and the rest of the SEC?


Not that I know of, I didn't miss anything. You sure? I had the ESPN+, so I was good.

You can watch YouTube TV in a different location ie hotel, rv, camp but it is difficult/not possible to do with Hulu live

The service is great. The biggest problem is they have begun rapidly raising prices the last few years. Every year they tend to hike it another $10 it seems

Until recently I still had cable just cause I like the convenience of having everything I want and just sucked it up on cost. However when I moved to a new place it made me go ahead and look at options. I tried Hulu Live at first just cause we already had Hulu and ESPN so I figured try to utilize the bundle. But after about 2 days I hated it. The menu and general way it works I did not care for at all. So tried YouTube TV and I really like it. It's very close to being like cable if you enjoy that. The history channel is a bummer I suppose but everything else has been good for me.

There's a sports package now you can pay for and it's a little cheaper. I usually turn it on and off once football season begins and ends.


I just signed up for it, $45 a month. Mostly for college football, and some NFL. For NFL I have been using NFL+ and just wait until the next morning to watch a game or two in about 30 minutes.

A couple of years ago I tried Youtube TV. It was perfectly fine but I just didn't watch it enough to justify the cost. Podcasts on Youtube premium are more interesting to me that TV and I've reached a point where I absolutely hate commercials. I don't think that my TV has even been on this year though I can stream Netflix and Prime to it.

It's expensive, and your bill will probably increase by another 10 or 20 this year.
It'll still be half the cost of Satellite/Crapcast. We went from DirecTV to FUBO 3 years ago. We then switched to YTTV about a year ago. YTTV is a good middle ground. I hate not having the A&E Networks (History is part of that) but DirecTV stop hasn't turned off my credentials to use their apps.

It will absolutely go up $15-20 this year. However they do have long term deals signed with FOX, Disney, and Paramount. I'll happily pay $120 for their standard package if it means I don't have to worry about channels being held back.

I am setting up this exact same system right now. Cox is our only option, and I am done calling them every year just to lower my bill. Time will tell, but I'm looking forward to it.

No local storage.
A regular dvr with a HD would be better.
