Have you really done a cost comparison between Xfinity and YouTubeTV? I'm cheap, but every time I compare the two options, I stay with Xfinity. The contract discounts, bundling discounts, cell phone service, the landline phone option, and the cable box built-in apps, etc. make Xfinity very close in price to the YouTubeTV streaming option. Note that YouTubeTV is now more than $90 per month, just for the ability to stream the channels. And, YouTubeTV still does not offer the Lifetime channels, which I watch often. Also, Xfinity allows you to pay for Netflix on your Xfinity bill, thereby avoiding autopay, which I do not like.
