Youtube TV?
« on: December 12, 2017, 11:51:40 AM »
Has anyone here tried Youtube TV yet? It seems like it has the potential to be a closer replacement to Cable/Sat than the other services out there.

I tried it and was pleased with it. It does have a few omissions to the lineup but it depends a lot on what you watch/want to watch if that's an issue. I can't really compare to the other options, like Sling, as I haven't tried them.

I did cancel, but only because I found myself not watching it very much and can use the cash better for other things. If I was a little more cash happy at the moment I would have kept it with no reservations.

We cut the cord about a month ago, and went with Hulu with live tv. I'm pretty happy so far, it has every channel we were looking for plus Hulu's streaming library. The picture quality is a touch better than cable was (Optimum) and the sound is great as well. Dvr isn't perfect, it'll skip a few seconds every now and then. Overall it's well worth the money, especially since we're saving over $100 a month from what we were paying for cable.
