Also have Netflix and Prime. This is all from a guy who can't set the clock on the microwave! If I can do it anyone can.
CWGUY, can you try all these new Streaming Services while the DirecTv equipment is still hooked up. Your post has inspired me to give it a shot. I know just enough about all this technical garbage to get me into trouble. I think I like the YouTube TV the best from what my kids have told me. The oldest boy who is almost 40 years old pays $240 a month for his Comcast Bundle. It was very hard to be still when he told me that. Instead of attacking him I told him we paid $40 for internet and $77 for Directv.

I will miss Direct but since they are tied in with AT&T it doesn't work for me anymore because of the constant billing mistakes and follow up phone calls. I just want to use a service at a reasonable price and pay my bill and not be friends with the customer service department.
