So if I wanted to watch a specific series, I would have to get out of YT tv and then remember which service had this series. We were bouncing around all over the place. After a year, I negotiated with Dish and they matched the price of what I was paying for all the services and it’s a set price for 3 years plus I got a $500 gift card so the overall price is cheaper.
I didn’t care what I was paying a month, it was just a hassle of switching services to watch something. Plus, if I wanted to bounce around for example, watching Fox business to a specific sporting event, I hit the recall button. Since we have used Dsh for decades, we remember the channel numbers so it’s easy and fast to get around.
Maybe in a couple years YT tv will have the majority of what we like to watch and I can switch.

Your last paragraph pretty much sums up how we feel and why we stayed with DirecTV.
