YouTubeTV has the local affiliates and DVR in the cloud.
You need approximately 5 megabits per second of internet bandwidth per stream for 1080p hi-def.

We tried this - but going from 200+ channels on DirecTV or Comcast to 70 on YouTube left out several channels that either me or my wife really wanted. The cost to get another service that offered these channels added yet another $30 to the cost.
In addition, you now have to juggle which service to start for the channel you want to watch - I'm OK with that, but my wife isn't.
If you plan on only getting 5mbps per stream, you need to plan on seeing your shows stutter and freeze at times. I know folks that try to save money by getting the 12mbps service and their screens have constant issues with one stream.
However, 50mbps should be enough for most purposes.
There is nothing wrong with cutting the cord - just realize that you do give up some features/channels/selections to save that money. As long as those options mean nothing to you, that is great!
