So, if you're open to taking a look at some of the other streaming services I have some experience with them all.

Sling TV: used it for about a month but this was well over a year ago and I still was in my Directv contract at the time, just curious about streaming options at that point. I came away entirely unimpressed with the service. Live only at the time, no DVR option and the channel selection was meh at best.

Roku TV: used it off and on for about a week or whatever the trial period is while I was juggling between DTV Now and Youtube TV. The interface was nice and easy to use. Channel selection was perfectly fine with plenty of woman type options for my wife and enough sports channels. Believe it was right around $40/month. Didn't really use the DVR on it at all, but the channel selection and interface are what I really was checking on it for. Didn't seem buggy or shitty based on my usage. Worked with my firestick and roku tv and chromecast.

Directv Now: I got this for free for 3 months after I cancelled my satellite service with them. I used it daily for 3 months and cancelled it at the end to go back to Youtube TV.

The Good: the channel selection is pretty nice and balanced. As far as kids channels and movie channels go this one is the most family friendly and has enough sports channels to satisfy your needs. Nickelodeon was the big sticking point for my wife because my two year old is obsessed with Paw Patrol. DTV has it, nobody else does. It was free, so that was great for me and why I had it for so long. Right before I left they added NFLN on if you go to their $50/month tier. Now it's $40/month for the Live a Little package I had. MLB Network was also in there IIRC. Works for Firestick, roku tv, chromecast, but not my XBox One.

The Bad: What a buggy piece of shit this thing is. It freezes constantly and doesn't record properly. DVR space is small. It went down the entire night the Home Run Derby was happening so I didn't get to watch that. Didn't have local FSKC, so I couldn't watch the Royals (lol, this wasn't that big of a deal this year). Just unreliable in terms of freezing, updating and being a functional TV service. This is why I left their service. If it went out on the first weekend football started I would have rage killed something. And, **** DTV since ATT bought them. The company has just progressively gotten worse every month.

Youtube TV: Bought it for a month and had DTVNow at the same time, then cancelled at my wife's request and rode out two more free months with DTVNow. This is the one, my friends. Now it does lack in family friendly shit, woman and kids channels. Nickelodeon specifically, but they all have Disney channels on them. It has all of the sports channels I really want. Missing NFLN, but it has like 15 sports channels. My local FSKC included so I can tell myself I'll watch the Royals now. I'm confident when college football and basketball season are in full swing I'll be able to watch nearly any game I'd ever want to. Loaded with some good movie channels and enough of the other regular ones everyone should be happy. Interface is awesome. DVR is kickass. The only complaints I have on this is that it doesn't work with my Firestick without doing some extra work, but it does work with my XBox One so I've got all my bases covered for the TV's we use. Price is $40/month.

If this is available in your market, I'd definitely give it a trial run. I think you get two weeks free and you can have up to 6 logins at the same time on it so you can have your wife try it on a different device while you watch what you want and figure out if it works for her too.
