The satellite companies are now every bit as bad as the cable companies.

Yep. And I'm not sorry to see them go.

Now I just have to figure out what Roku devices I need. It seems that the 2.4Ghz band is so cluttered in my area that I want to try to avoid that. But I only want to spend as little as possible (duh). I have a main living room smart TV but it does not have Youtube tv. I have one in my bedroom that is not a smart tv but has a firestick. Again, no youtube tv on that stick. And then one for my daughter's tv. Any suggestions?
Here is what I'm looking at currently: 1 of these https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...VY0JGHJA&psc=1 and 2 of these https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...VY0JGHJA&psc=1

If 5Ghz works in all of the locations you need, you want to use it for sure. |

One other thing that I found and just started a trial on yesterday is Philo tv. It is $16/mo. and gives me those other channels such as Food Network, ID, Science, AXS, and several others. So right now I'm just rolling with Youtube tv and Philo tv. That's $56 total plus tax. Not bad. I get pretty much all of the channels I wanted except NFL Network. But I can still catch all the Chiefs games that are on that so I'm fine with that.

I looked at that one. It seems that service is geared toward sports programming, amongst other things. The problem is that they charge an additional $10/mo. for DVR. Only 2 devices are allowed to stream at the same time unless you add the Family Share for $6/mo, then you can do 3 at a time.
Edit: It seems that you get 30 hours cloud DVR with any basic package. You have to pay $10/mo. for 500 hours cloud DVR.

I cut the cord today. DTV couldn’t come close to matching Hulu Live TV $45/month. Our DTV bill was going to be $99/month. Not worth it for the 15-20 channels we do watch.
We still have DTV until March 1st, then I’ll make the switch to Hulu. I sure hope Reddit shows a lot of the Royals games (in KC broadcast) or I’m going to have to go back to DTV. |

My contract with comcast is up in June, thinking of going to google fiber + YTTV and Philo. This seems to have all the channels that we watch that can't be gotten free with roku apps. Already have rokus for all tv's. Anyone using this combo of streaming services? seems to cover pretty much everything.
