Is anyone here using a streaming services to replace their cable/satellite subscription, or even just tried one of their free trials?

I'm referring to the ones like PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now, YouTube TV, Sling, etc., that allow one to see local channels and traditional cable/satellite stations, not services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and such.

I've been using PS Vue now for a few months and tested DirecTV Now for 3 months as well on my iPhone and Apple TV 4K, so I have some impressions. Soon I hope to give at least some brief reviews of each service with the pros and cons.

One thing I can say now though, while both have been nice to try and I appreciate the competition for cable in my area (Comcast, in my case), I don't find either of them good enough to be viable replacements...at least not yet.
