IMO the DVR is the best of all the streaming services. I have tried them all. Unlimited storage, saved for 9 months.

You can pause/resume live shows, skip commercials on recordings (unless it has be made available for on demand viewing).

I have Youtube TV and generally like it, but...

You can only watch a DVR game after the game is over. If it is the start of the second half, you can start watching it live or you have to wait until a few minutes after the game is over to watch from the start. The good news is that you can check and see if the DVR will work without getting any spoilers.

I use the DVR a lot using the Chrome browser on my desktop to skip commercials. Especially on ESPN channels, it will occasionally lock up when I try to skip forward. It is pretty easy to refresh the page and get back to where I was, but a minor annoyance. I have this on two difference computers but I haven't seen reports of other people having this problem.

As you slide the bar forward to skip commercials, you get a thumbnail preview of the video which makes it easier to see how far to go.
