We're gonna have to make a decision soon.
But I’d like to hear anything anyone’s got on any of those, or others I might have left out.
So I'm curious to hear the opinions of those who get their "cable" via streaming, if anyone here does. This might've come up earlier in the thread, but maybe people's opinions have changed.
Sling, Philo, Fubo, whatever. Going by the research I’ve already done, it seems like YouTubeTV would be the best way for us to go.But I’d like to hear anything anyone’s got on any of those, or others I might have left out.
Philo is no sports channels and no news networks (beyond BBC and Cheddar). But no CNN, No Fox, No MSNBC.
I've had Youtube TV before and it's probably the preferred one, I don't know if I watch enough live TV to justify the cost. But if I did YTV would be the one to go with.

YTV now has the Viacom channels that Philo has (Comedy Central, etc) so that combo is no longer needed. My only issue with the streamers is they're getting into the same broadcast rights slap fights with the networks that the cable companies are, although to be expected.
Apple developing new ‘SportsKit’ framework for Apple TV - 9to5Mac
Following rumors about sports content on Apple TV+, 9to5Mac has now found evidence of a new "SportsKit" framework for iOS and tvOS apps.

Sports on Apple TV+
Apple has been reportedly building its own sports platform to be part of the company’s Apple TV+ streaming service. A 2019 report revealed that Apple was in talks with PAC-12 to bring live sports to Apple TV+ subscribers. In 2020, the company hired the former head of Amazon Prime Video’s sports division to work on the Apple TV team.
The rumors didn’t stop there, as multiple reports earlier this year mentioned that Apple has been talking with the NFL to acquire the rights to Sunday Ticket, which would be a great addition for Apple TV+. More recently, the company hired the former president of ESPN, who will now lead the production of documentary films and unscripted series for Apple’s streaming service.
Now with the first evidence of a new sports-related framework found in iOS, it seems that Apple will finally have something new about sports to share in the coming months.
No Problem. I'm a big Apple user as I own just about all of there products.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
If you want to avoid his bad books don't mention that sherbet is not ice cream. It's ok to know it in your heart but some people like to keep their delusions alive.
You know those Canadians can't admit to some things like Chad Kroeger of Nickelback is from Canada and the best band out there.
Plus Toronto has a real football team name Toronto Football Club. But he will admit it's soccer.
Why can't you admit it that sherbet is Ice Cream. Go to the store and in the freezer section of Ice Cream, you will find Rainbow Sherbet.
Is sherbet ice cream yes or no?
In a nutshell, sherbet is the fruitier cousin of ice cream. ... It can be hard to tell, but sherbet differs from sorbet in that it's made with fruit, water and dairy. Whether it's milk or heavy cream, sherbet gets its lush creaminess from some added dairy. aka ice cream!
I used the Sling Gift card to use during the NCAA Tourney. Gives me TBS and TNT. But for CBS I have to switch to Paramount Plus. A nice thrifty deal
Funny this thread should get refreshed, because the situation I mentioned above is happening Monday. Google Fiber guy is coming over to give us our "upgrade" - which means a new wi-fi mesh system, & the disappearing of our beloved Google Fiber cable TV service. I subscribed to DirecTV Stream a month ago to start the transition, & it seems to be OK. It better be - starting Monday it's the only game in town.

Technically, no - but only because half of our TV/Internet combo is going away. The "upgrade" is they switch out our old internet boxes for new "mesh" wi-fi thingamajigs. And for every TV we had the cable TV service on, they're giving us a Chromecast with Google TV. Then we use the Chromecasts for whatever streaming service we want. If we ever stop being Google Fiber customers we have to return the wi-fi devices, but get to keep the Chromecasts.
Our old GF TV/Internet service was $190 & change a month. The TV part was about $105 of that. Now, far as I can figure, we'll be paying GF $70-ish for the internet & DirecTV Stream $90 a month for the "cable" TV ( I ended up going with them because they were easily the closest to the channel lineup we got with GF the last 6 years ). So if I've done the math right, we'll be paying about $15 less per month for the new setup for supposedly better wi-fi & roughly the same cable TV product.

From what I have learned you need advanced math degrees to actually figure out how much you pay for cable and internet and desipher the bills they send. It all sounds so smooth and easy when you are dealing with the salesperson.
