YouTubeTV is extremely expensive. I think I pay $91/month for the regular service?

I only want a bit of cable TV (I could give it up) and all the sports.

I've got too many streaming options to ever watch any movies or series on YouTubeTV.

We get Netflix and AppleTV for free from T Mobile. I pay $7/month (I think) extra to have no ads on Netflix. I buy some package for $42/month (with $10 off each month from our Amex Blue card, so $32/month) for Hulu + Max + Disney with no ads. And I get Peacock for free (with ads) from our Xfintity cable internet service (which is a stinkin' $99/month, AT&T fiber is not yet available where I live).

If there were a way to get EVERYTHING on live sports from every channel, and be able to tape it and play it later (YouTubeTV allows this) I'd get that. I could do without watching what little cable TV news that I watch.

$91 for sports (with ads) seems quite a lot.

I don't have any cable (we stream everything over the internet, so if the internet service goes down, no TV). So I guess I'm saving something. But still. $91!?

So in summmmmmmmary

$32 for Hulu, Max, Disney without ads
$7 for no ads in Netflix
Netflix and AppleTV are free with T Mobile
Xfinity internet service is $99, seems like this should be closer to $50
And YouTubeTV is $91, to watch sports, with ads.

The major problem in there is YouTubeTV's price. Some day we'll be able to get AT&T Fiber, and that will probably cost $60/month, and give us some random streaming thing for free.
