I am now watching Youtube TV instead of Dish TV

I am pretty sure I am going to cancel Dish at this point as You tube is cheaper and has some interesting channels. The thing is that it seems like it is not that easy to change channels with the YT TV. I am going to see if I can get some help with that today before I cancel. I am sure I am doing something wrong..but it shouldn't take 5 minutes to get another channel on.

I like it too, but this morning it took me 5 minutes to change to a different channel. I did not like that. However, most of the time it is pretty seamless.

@NJChicaa I know and when I talked to them about it they really had no answer for me.

I hope you get the TV service you enjoy most! I use Xfinity cable but I stream it over Roku TV as it is a lot, lot cheaper. I could no longer afford regular cable without streaming as it went up to over $270 a month. I don't know how much it went up in the last two years I have been streaming

That is ridiculous. The streaming was 72. I got Dish down to 82. I posted a Nico pic

@snowy22315 82 is a good price. I pay a bit more as I also use Xfinity for the internet and my landline which is the main way to call me. and I find I only watch cable i like it so much even though I have the Roku TV system. I will look for Nico's picture!

You'll enjoy that so much better. Between docs and shows and music videos, there is alot to keep one entertained.

It is a decent service, but since I was having trouble switching some of the channels and Dish agreed to reduce the bill, and put me on no contract for a year and upgrade my receiver for free..I am going to give them another shot. Too much going on right now to mess around with You tube TV..although I was enjoying the service for the most part.

Good for you canceling Dish. I hope you figure out how to change channels easier on YouTube.

I actually decided to keep Dish no contract for a year..because I was frustrated trying to get help from youtube TV. They didn't offer any real solutions. However, I just paused it. I might go back..I could leave Dish at any time, since I don't have a contract.

@snowy22315 That's great you don't have a contract. I'm sorry you're not getting any help from YouTube. You gave me a good reason not to sign up with them.

Yes Youtube is good but there are certain local programmes that are not available on Youtube.

I was lucky I was able to get my local channels.

I'm about ready to cancel Spectrum; but I know Direct TV will be the same $$ after a year. I hope you get some answers about the channel thing. Have a great day.
