I just switched over from SlingTV to YoutubeTV. Seems great so far. Offers NBC, which Sling annoyingly didn't and the main reason I switched. Also FS1. But not sure if that means Royals games. ESPN. All the normal stations plus cable stuff like Discovery, Syfy, History, NG, etc.
Interface is infinitely better. Ability to pause no matter what. I'm really liking this so far. [Reply]

I also rely on YT-TV to reliably get my local ABC, CBC, NBC, PBS, and FOX. I have one TV where an antenna gets all the over the air channels, but ABC acts up occasionally. The other TVs in the house struggle to get one or two.
Just a week ago or so, I felt compelled to make a spreadsheet of all the streaming services, costs, and content. I concluded YouTube was the best deal for us.
It's following the same pathway as Cable did for us, gradually getting more and more expensive. :-) [Reply]
Dear lucky owners of NVidia 30XX or 40XX RTX cards, who are also YTTV subscribers. Please view this. NVidia has released a new set of drivers that will allow you to upconvert the normal 720p/1080p stream quality to "fake 4K" format. But don't be fooled, it actually looks really incredible for being upconverted. Just update to the latest driver and follow these instructions in the NVidia app:
If you own a NVidia 30X0 or 40X0, update to the latest drivers. Once done, open the NVidia Settings app in the Windows System tray. Navigate to Adjust video image settings at the bottom of the home menu.
Locate RTX video enhancement setting, and max that fucker out.
Depending on your NVidia hardware, it can provide an incredible improvement. I'm really surprised I hadn't found this sooner. YTTV looks so much better on my PC. The app says 720p or 1080p, but the quality still looks significantly better.
This only works with NVidia RTX cards that are capable. [Reply]
YouTube TV could probably go up to $100 before I'd cancel, anything before that I would start getting rid of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc before YouTube TV. It's a good investment. [Reply]
ive had Youtube TV for over a year now, and along with fiber internet, it's fantastic.
Love the fact that I can add a premium network....then a week or so later drop it off, and it's charged pro-rata. You can do that with all the add-ons.
Combine that with unlimited cloud recording/library and great channel lineup - it's a no-brainer.
(FTR - I live in an area that won't work for OTA antennas) [Reply]
