Tim,

Are you still using Directv Now? If so, it is still working out for you well? I'm strongly considering ditching satellite. I could save around $90 a month.

I have a few concerns.

1. The initial expense for an additional Apple TV (They would be shipping one out to me when I pre-paid for 3 months). But we need at least two in the house.

2. I see that I can get my local channels, but would feel better about having an antenna in case I run in to intermittent buffering from Directv Now.

3. Looks like no Fox Sports Midwest, which means no Cardinals or Blues games........is there a workaround?

A friend is letting me try out YouTube TV and I have to say I’m digging it so far. I’m not quite ready to cut the cord yet though.

I have been using Youtube TV since Nov of last year and it is great and continues to get better.

If DirecTV doesn't have FSMW, why is that even in the running as an option. All the others have it, and DirecTV is the most expensive option, isn't it?

Actually they do. I just had to move up one tier. It’s still only $35 a month.

Hooked up an antenna in our bedroom and got 46 channels. All the wife cares about is the local channels to watch the news at night.
