Be sure to check the channels that youtubeTV has versus the channels you normally watch. YouTubeTV didn't have a couple that we watch compared to Directv. In case you aren't aware, you can get Directv stream which is cheaper than Directv by satellite. There is a streaming app but it doesn't work well IMO because you can not enter channel #'s. DirecTV stream has a small box (approx 6x6x1/2) and the menu and all remote functions work exactly like the sat service. Channel #'s are the same. There used to be refurb boxes available for about $50 which is what we chose. New boxes can be paid for monthly on your bill until paid in full. Sign up online and get free unlimited DVR. Recordings are saved for 9 months.
