Default Streaming service recommendations?

I’m looking for a streaming service that has the cable news and sports channels along with DVR service. Any recommendations?

I’m currently using cable for news/sports, and streaming Amazon Prime for movies and shows but want to drop my cable. Looking at YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling, etc. Any favorites to recommend?

You Tube TV is the best streaming service in my opinion, but that being said, no service is great for sports without significant add on costs. Sports viewing is the primary reason traditional cable TV providers still have enough subscribers to keep on going.

DirecTV Stream. Not DirecTV Internet. These are 2 different DirecTV services. With DirecTV stream you can buy a small box with remote so that you can enter a channel # just like a cable box. Or you can use their streaming app. You get unlimited DVR space that saves recordings for 9 months. No local hard drive to deal with. Had DirecTV satellite before moving here and I won't go back to satellite.

I cut the cord with Comcast. I use UTube TV and T-Mobile for internet connection. No problems with either one and now have WAY more tv channels to choose from and about $130 a month less. LOVE it!
I only use my iphone now instead of a land line. The HAPPIEST day this year was when I walked into Comcast with my DVR, modem, remote and said goodby.

The difference with rhe You Tube DVR is that if you set the TV to record say Chicago Fire it will record old and new shows. Hulu can be set to" new" only. So that's why I chose Hulu. Maybe You Tube TV has changed that format? Does anyone know?
