That's true. But the best thing about any of these streaming services is that there are no contracts, extra fees or equipment you have to rent from a cable or sattelite company. All will give you a week or two of free trial. You can cut them off and switch at anytime. Regarding bandwith, we have the lowest price internet service from Comcast (about 25mps for $19.95). No problem in streaming any of these services.

One more thing - you can get locals with YouTube TV, PS Vue and others, but the only network you will not get is PBS. This is because of the way the PBS local stations operate. But you may see this issue resolved before long. In the meantime, get an outdoor antenna and pick up PBS and a whole bunch of other stations for free.
