OT Any cord cutters with Youtube tv and Chromecast Google tv?

I have YouTube TV and I am very happy with it. My son loves the lack of commercials and the ability to forward through them. It's an the time you save without the commercials. I can't watch Minnesota hockey and basketball there but I can stream them elsewhere. I love the on demand section to watch something when you want to. I tried Sling before. I had a Roku and one of my tvs has Chrome Chromecast built in. Used to have Prime as well. 

Thanks VG!  What are you using for streaming device with youtube-tv?  I understand there is a feud between youtube-tv and roku.  Because of the falling out, new users cannot access YT-tv with a roku (the streaming device my son recommends).  Based on channel listing, we can watch all our usual channels with youtube-tv, including Big Ten so can watch gopher hockey and football.  I've always wanted to see the Women's hockey team play, have an outstanding record!

I have internet through Xfinity so that is where I stream. Yeah there is always some issues. Just like the FSN (now Bally Sports North) and fucking Sinclair. But you have to weigh your pros and cons and find what works for you. Has to have good internet especially since I have been working from home since last March. There are so many options now though so it works. I like doing the free trials to figure things out too because it helps. 

I go with Roku and FuboTV.  Screw google.  I love FuboTV.  The only drawback is the 250 hour max of recordings.  The interface and channel selection are much better as a sports fan, and they have Marquee network locally.  With Google now trying to bully RokuTv you kind of have to decide whether to support Googles attempts to brainwash the public, or go elsewhere.  

I hear ya waterboy!  Not a big fan of google!  Course I'm using google wifi for home network so they probably already know all about me...  LOL  I'll check Fubo-tv!  My cable dvr only has 40 hrs for high def so 250 is a nice boost!

My dtv bill was about 150 a month,  I called and said I was dropping because I could get the same channels from their streaming service and they cut my bill in half.  Actually cheaper now than their streaming service of the same package,  and cheaper than a streaming package from my phone/ internet provider so I guess I am sticking with my satellite for now.  Not that my story helps unless you want to try dtv.  I just couldn't give up balleys sports and the twins and wolves (just for laughs)  and the wild ( so I can keep up my tolerance for heart breaking seasons year round)

Wow, they sure wanted to keep your business Jimmy!  Nice!  I moved too far west and lost track of Minnesota professional sports (except the Vikings).  I get the Big Ten channel so I can follow the Gophers (mostly hockey, some FB).  Our total cable bill for tv and internet is a bit north of $200/month.  Too high for our watching habits.  We could easily cut out at least a 1/3 or 1/2 by switching to streaming live.  We'll see though, gotta do some trials first...  I like that streaming services are non-contract, switching to satellite would put me in a contract situation...

YouTube TV on an Apple TV. We love it.

2-year contract with Dish was done and so was I. Youtube TV through Roku.

I have YoutubeTV mainly because I can use the same account both at home and at our lake cabin.  I think I'll be switching to Hulu + Live TV soon though.  At home on the living room TV the Roku app for YouTube TV is no longer working, and Google support has no answers why.  I can't reinstall the app because Google doesn't want to play nice with Roku anymore, so my workaround is launching YouTube TV from the YouTube app menu item.  Kind of a pain.  I like the YouTubeTV DVR, but really I don't even use it that much.

Well then,   I was going to you tube TV until they lost balleys/fox sports.  It seemed to have the most of what I was looking for,  but I think that's just an individual preference.  On top of the dish we have prime, Netflix, and one more that I can't ever remember so I never watch.

I had YouTubeTv and outside of the DVR, it is inferior in almost every way to FuboTV.  The selection, the guide, the stability and everything all are better than YouTube in my opinion.

Also with Dish I would lose signal every time it rained and in Florida that is a lot.

I went with Youtube because of the unlimited recording. You are correct though, the guide and selection are not good.

I have YouTubeTV through an Amazon Firestick. Same subscription on 5 different tvs in 2 households. Take the stick with you on vacation and you've got all your channels with you.

I use my computer to stream hockey and basketball games and send to my TV through an hdmi cable or just use my monitor. It works for me. I tried Fubo tv before as well. I did an Apple TV trial too.

Doesnt YouTube TV cost almost as much as Satellite? Our Dish bill in $70 and YouTube now is $65? 

So for us, it just doesnt make much sense to migrate to new interface, get the hardware ripped out etc. 

We do love our Apple TV 4k interface a bunch. I wish everything was as seamless, clean and easy. 

Good points PF, each situation is a bit different.  Not worth a change if no financial benefit.  Satellite receivers have never been attached to my home and there is no outside cabling around the house to where tvs are located.  My personal preference is to stay away from satellite to avoid a contract, effect on home appearance, and potential dropouts from snow or rain.  I have many friends that use satellite and like it, just a preference thing.

On our cable bill, internet access is $55/month and the rest is programming costs, equipment rentals, sports programming surcharges, and taxes.  All other cable tv costs go away (except taxes) with a streaming service and internet will go up a bit since no longer bundled with cable.  We can get all the channels we watch with Fubo-starter streaming service so we could see a 50% drop in monthly charges.

Thank you all for your informative and helpful comments! :)

Make sure you get enough internet juice to power the streaming @IDVikingfan...

Great point, I have high speed internet with 120 Mpbs download speed.  Should be sufficient, right?
