Thank you for saying everything that I wanted to but did not feel like typing, lol. I guess the ones that are happy with it either don't read this or don't care to complain.
I don't like watching Thursday Night Football due to its choppiness. I have a large house with a lot of large TVs, many different configurations and they have all B e en choppy. DirecTV, for me, has always been crystal clear and smooth. Maybe once or twice a year in some crazy storm might lose the signal for a few but that has never happened during football, for me.
I have been pleasantly surprised streaming ESPN plus and hockey. It's been pretty good but not as good as satellite. Hopefully YouTube can improve upon that.
Having everything under one umbrella is worth it to me. I have a great setup with DirecTV. Time marches on. I just hope it's not a step back
