    Our cable is down (again). Fecking Comcast.

    I'm considering switching to a different service. I've read that YouTube TV offers the most "cable-like" experience.

    Mrs. George likes to "surf" the channels - IOW, when she's watching The Murder Channel A&E, and a commercial comes on, she likes to flip to another channel. Repeat ad nauseam.

    The problem with "streaming services" is that it's a PITA to do this. You have to navigate menus to select which "stream" you want, and then find a show...etc.

    She wants "live TV."

    Any suggestions?

      Antenna

      Plain old TV still exists

      We've been using YouTube TV for about 5 years. The navigation is more complex than the antenna, but I like it. The interface varies depending on the device, but it remember what each user likes to watch. If there is golf or football or Tucker on at the moment it will include that in my main menu so I don't have to scroll to it.

      It works on you iPhone, iPad, Android tablet, XBox and Smart TV. We use it on all of these.

      I believe the subscription allows a limit of 5 people so we included my daughter and son-in-law.

      It also records an "unlimited" number of shows. But the time they remain available is not unlimited.

              We saved over $120 a month ditching Verizon cable when we moved. I do miss watching the Formula 1, but it was an awful lot of money just to watch a bunch of knobheads going round in circles, and since it was about the only commercial-free thing on there, that was all we watched.

              I was only joking
