Anytime I want to watch something on local tv, just use an antenna, and as for other entertainment I have a Prime Video account, ESPN package which includes Hulu, ESPN plus, and Disney plus, and Discovery plus because I like true crime and similar. Netflix also. Overall, cheaper than what I was paying and better for me in a lot of ways.

I can see DirecTV, Spectrum, etc really being obsolete sooner rather than later when they have to compete with Youtube TV, Sling, etc.

YouTube TV, etc can't compete with Directv and Cable for long-term. Why is that, they are artificially keeping the price low. They are already removing channels and having disputes because of price increases. They can't keep losing money.

Directv already has a streaming option but it's not that much cheaper than satellite. For now, I prefer 1 service instead of relying on internet in addition to be able to stream. You need power only for satellite and you can run that on a generator if needed and that's important in FL.


Plus if you are streaming multiple TVs or devices at once, you my end up reaching internet download limits and you need a high connection.
