With YoutubeTV, I would lose the Lifetime channels, which we watch a lot, and the History channeI. I also get a great deal on my cell phone service, that is only $21 per month.
LMN and History are both available on HuluLive. (NFL Sunday Ticket is not which is why I have YTTV). You might also get a better DVR capability if you make use of that.

Even if you drop cable channels you will still need an internet provider which might also get you the great deal on your cell phone.

But comfort and inertia matter. If you are comfortable with what you have and any additional cost is worth it to you to not have to learn a new system then it makes sense to stick with what you have.
