We tried several streaming services and switched to YouTubeTV 4 or 5 years a=
go.  All of the channels you mentioned are included with their base packages=
. We watched it on both a Roku TV and via Amazon Firesticks with no problems=
. That said, we recently bought a new TV that used Google=E2=80=99s operatin=
g system and it works even better on that.  (I even put an old TV in the sho=
p with a Firestick. =F0=9F=98=84)

No complaints, other than the fact that the price keeps going up, just like e=
verything else.=20
