Other Factors To Consider
If you’re still unsure which live TV service to go with, it might be worth taking a closer look at some of the other differences to see if they can help narrow down the list.
For example, limitations on the cloud DVR or the number of simultaneous streams can affect the suitability of a live TV service. This is especially true for busier households where a subscription is likely to be shared between multiple people.

All of these tv services are a rip off. Get an antenna and receive 100s of channels for free.
About YouTube TV; can you explain what it means where it says 3 streams, unlimited at home for $20/ month?
Hi Kevin,
YouTube TV only allows three people (devices) to watch at the same time. However, YouTube TV also offers a $19.99 per month 4K Plus add-on which makes it possible to stream on an unlimited number of devices (in the home) at the same time.
