    TV provider

    Trying to find the best way to get rid of my Directv, I've had them for 20yrs. I just got an email from them raising $ again. My package is $145. So far like UtubeTV. looks like they have the most sports. Anyone have any input?
    Thanks

    Get Internet through a provider and go with Hulu Live if you like streaming shows or sling TV if you just channel surf.

    And you’re gonna need a good internet connection for streaming that doesn’t get frustrating. Especially that busy 5-8pm time of day.

    Looking lately at dumping cable, YouTube TV looks like a front runner for us if we jump.

    We replaced DirecTV with YouTube TV. Works great!

    If you can get up to it, take the DirectTV dish off the mast mount...pop on a old school rooftop antenna...hook it up the existing DirectTV cabling and you'll get free over the air HDTV (Local Networks) to all the cable drops in your house! Great for network sports and local weather!

    I use AT&T Now (used to be Direct TV NOW). I'm satisfied with the quality and quantity of channels I get.

    You can negotiate quite a bit with DirectTV. We get a pretty good deal by threatening to leave.

    We've tried all the satellites, we prefer Dish. Got our bill down to $74, a lower package with DVR, just one drop to the living room. All the kids stream to their smart tv's so we killed the excess. Haven't missed extra rooms yet.

    Call AT&T/Directv and ask them what discounts they have. My discounts from last December just expired this week, called and they took $50 off regular channels and 13 off my sports package. I was transferred to I believe she said the loyalty dept. Phone call did last 30 minutes.

    Call up and threaten to cancel before you switch. 2 weeks ago I did and they knocked me all the way down to $49!

    Another YouTube TV fan here, plus a few other streaming services. Still less than I was paying for cable TV
