It make far more sense as people have such diverse interests and desires in TV. I think (not sure ? ?) streaming is similar ? If you are a news junky you can just subscribe to 8 or more news sources ? A sports junky can just select sports oriented channels, etc. I suspect ? But don't actually understand how streaming "sells" their service/packages !
We still have DirecTV sat here in Indiana and at our home there. Steaming is cheaper for sure....for now. But prices will be going up steadily due to the cost of programming. I've read a number of atricles on this. Many streaming services are losing money or not making money due to the cost of programming.

I'm looking at DirecTV and YouTube streaming, but as someone else said they don't have some channels we have now.

Btw, we've been with DirecTV since 1996 and have been happy with them, except for the cost. lol
