If anybody wants to switch to YTTV, I'll send you my referral link, sign up and we both save extra money the first month.
I understand DTV for those who live in a rural area or have slow internet. That is my parents. They don't have other options. Or if you want to watch Bally Channels (get it); I just don't watch regular season baseball.
But if you live anywhere near a major city and have good internet, YTTV is the way to go. It is basically half the price of DTV (especially the first year). I had DTV for 13 years, and every year I would call and haggle the price, until it came to a point they had no more deals, and didn't try to get me when I canceled. I was paying $150ish without any monthly discounts.
So it is not for everybody, but I would think YTTV is better for most people over DTV.
