YouTubeTV has a "traditional" programming guide. Pretty much looks just like any of the "cable" services. It also has DVR in the cloud. You don't need a box with a hard drive.

With all the streaming devices, it seems to me, a lot of continual hunting and pecking to find what one wants to watch that is not as organized as services with programming guides.
Then there is the issue of DVR capability. We watch almost no direct or live programming and record as much as possible. DVR for streaming is still evolving.
Then there is the issue of having to subscribe to various streaming providers to get the programming one seeks.
For me, streaming is still evolving. It is sort of like ala carte but having to go to different restaurants to get all one wants to get an entire meal.
Eventually the pricing on streaming will increase as more viewers wants are addressed. And I suspect/hope the cable/dish providers will moderate pricing some to stop the viewer flight.
We have many friends and family that enjoy the so called freedom of streaming. We, for now, will remain with the convenience that many years experience has come to provide from the non-streaming sources.
Interesting to watch where it all trends toward.
