<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large">We ditched Dish &/or DirectTV a few years ago. Their price kept climbing (even though 'new' customers got a break) and the signal would be lost at the mere prediction of rain. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large">We switched to Spectrum and tried their TV service. The connection was good but again, the price kept climbing once we were no longer 'new'. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large"><br></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large">About a year ago we cancelled the Spectrum TV and now use You Tube TV. There is a fee for the service - which we share with our son-in-law. The one downside is we are halfway between Raleigh & Greensboro, North Carolina. Depending on where our internet cable makes its connection our local channels vary between the two cities. I haven't figured out how to make it choose one or the other. </div>

<div>We tried several streaming services and switched to YouTubeTV 4 or 5 years ago. 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’s operating system and it works even better on that. (I even put an old TV in the shop with a Firestick. 😄)

<div>No complaints, other than the fact that the price keeps going up, just like everything else. <br><br>

<div>I got rid of Dish about 3 years ago & set up GetChannels for local stuff (needs antenna) & stream everything else from Amazon, PBS, Britbox & and few others. Much cheaper than what I was paying, even including the cost of Amazon Prime. </div>
