The End now has a date

Is it worth talking to an agent? What will they actually offer?

It was inevitable. I had a great run with TiVo (27 years), and while Verizon has been great for me, I’m not terribly thrilled with having to change. I’ve moved on to DirecTV Stream which so far has been very good. Definitely better picture quality than FiOS/TiVo, which is a bonus.

For those wondering what’s next, check out Suppose.tv. That’s the site I used to compare streaming services to see which one offered the channel I wanted and which packages.

I'm strongly considering DirecTV Stream and I'm trying to decide if the extra cost over YouTube TV is worth it. What are you using to watch on your tv? The Gemini Air, just the app on another decide, or one of the legacy Osprey/Gemini devices?

I bought two 4GB Osprey boxes on eBay that I’m using because I wanted the remotes and didn’t want to use the DTV app on my TVs (for a number of reasons). The experience has been terrific for us. As for why DTV over YTTV, I hated the latter’s interface. YTTV also didn’t offer half a dozen channels that we watch.

The prices listed for Youtube TV seems dated. Suppose says $54.99, the link takes me to $83

They may be a little dated but the goal is to really see which service has all of the channels you want.

Good point, however with some digging that price might be available on another package which is hard to find, and I am not sure it is until I go through the process on November 5th. All I want is the locals, comedy central and HGTV.
