I don't have cable. Direct TV is close to cable but I find it to be very reliable. If I had You Tube, I would have to have a couple more streaming services to get what I have with DTV. I don't like the DTV/ATT link but it is what it is. I just don't care for having to deal with multiple streaming services. The only time I even look at Amazon Prime is for Thursday football.Ummm...yeah. what do you have against it? Price? Still cheaper than cable.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around why anyone does streaming TV. My neighbors "cut the cable" to cut prices and now they pay more than I do for Direct TV. They have to have several different services. To me, that would be a lot to manage. I also have an indoor terrestrial antenna, in case of emergency.YouTube TV has approximately 9.4 million subscribers as of April 2025, according to analyst estimates. This makes it the largest internet-streaming subscription TV service in the United States.
What does DTV have that YT doesn't and how much are you paying?I don't have cable. Direct TV is close to cable but I find it to be very reliable.

Ever had to watch a game in a storm? Or anything in a storm that is? I know you can watch Directv on the phone but streaming tv is much easier. Better DVR. I am getting annoyed with all the price hikes. And the UI could be a bit better.I'm just trying to wrap my head around why anyone does streaming TV.

To be honest, we don't watch that much TV. I have Sirius/XM in my car and, of the 247 channels, I tune to 2 of them (80-ESPN; and 90-NASCAR).
