Megathread: All discussion about leaving YouTube TV for another provider or questions about other providers belong here.
Fubo still uses a lower bitrate and, when scaled to screens larger than 15โ€, is akin to smeared vaseline. Excluding network apps, my exterior antenna picks up ATSC 3.0 HD channels and those are superior to most IP streams. YTTV as close as it gets to a consistently solid picture quality for sports. This whole thing has reminded me how quickly the consumer got screwed in all of this. More on reddit.com
