Didn't feel like resurrecting the old thread. Curious as to anyone having gone the route I'm contemplating. Have DirecTV/AT&T for wireless, internet, and TV. Promotional pricing expires in July with DirecTV, I'm going to make a stab at negotiating a better deal but I'm seriously considering not even bothering and just killing DirecTV and going to Youtube TV. Yes, it's a skinny package and would lose a few channels one of us watches (Discovery, History, Lifetime, etc) but at $40/month it seems like a really great deal and actually expands the sports stations I get which is a big plus. So I have a couple of questions:-Has anyone gone this route and seen any issues with their ISP increasing price, throttling your internet speed, etc?-Any issues with lag or availability?-Any issues with "making it work", I've been no uncertain terms that if I can't make it point and click for my significant other she'd rather just not have tv at all.-Overall satisfied with the switch?I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
If your preferred route is cord cutting, then start paying massive amounts of money to Congress to reverse the net neutrality decision.
1) jes is axing for a timeout2) I'm also interesting in this topic now that DirecTV has rolled out their DVR... I need sports and ID channel (and Fox News, duh). My situation is that I have a house and an apartment - I could use one account for both, yes? (I understand with DirecTV you get two simultaneous streams, or you can pay $5 for a third... so for me this seems like no problem).I need to know any concerns I should have re: internet speed and suggestions on any particular TV & stream stick (nh) types. please halp
Why? If someone makes a decision to "cut the cord" with regards to TV, they will be relying on their ISP for their content. ISPs will have a huge influence on speed, content, price once net neutrality is removed.For example, someone with Comcast may see significant slowdowns with non-NBC sports channels. Or require extra cost to access channels outside their corporate partners.It's all intertwined.
Looks like DirectvNow just put in a VPN blocker. It was working great from multiple overseas locations until this "upgrade".
Oh no!!! Competition! I can’t imagine!
cut the cord for DirectvNow when the service first came on line and have not regretted it a bit. $30/month plus Netflix and that is all we need as a household.

1. I'm hurt, Princess. I thought I was your No. 1 whipping boy. 2. No you're not.
Do any others have as much live sports for watching Marquette games as YoutubeTV?
Do most of the streaming services also have the Fox Sports local station - Fox Sports Wisconsin, etc?
