We recently signed up for DirectTV on a five day trial using AppleTV as a streaming device. I also noticed that the sound and video both were better quality than YouTubeTV but we ran into a couple other issues that were deal killers for us.

DirectTV has a four-hour timeout 'feature' that cannot be disabled. This was a problem for us as we prefer to leave the tv on all night while sleeping.

We also had an issue where the sound would randomly just go out and require us to shut down the app and restart it.

Your mileage may vary, but these issues caused us to go back to YoutubeTV.
