We dropped DirecTV a few months ago, in favor of YouTube TV. Monthly bill cut in half, from $90 to $45. Not looking back. This is the real deal for many would-be cord-cutters.
Cons:
- Fast Forward and Rewind much less accurate and responsive (but see PROs below).
- A few channels I don't care about (HGTV, Discover) not included.
Pros:
- Half the cost.
- Use of Google Voice for Fast Forward and Rewind--in many cases, better than the highly responsive DirecTv controls, because I can say "Fast Forward 3minutes 40seconds, and that is executed within maybe 10s".
- Cloud DVR is incredible. No limits.
- Search is so much better than the clunky DirecTv interface.
- Eliminates a lot of input switching. Mostly we are using either Netflix or YouTube TV, both via Chromecast.
- No satellites on your roof, nor cables on the outside of your house.
- Highly shareable.
- Can watch your content anywhere, anytime.
- No marketing calls.
