Anybody still using OTT (YTTV, Sling, etc.) streaming?

Currently a YouTubeTV subscriber (previously Vue). When sports stopped I've found a rarely load up the app on my Roku. Thinking about cancelling. Just curious if anyone else was in the same boat?

Also in the last few months I've found I haven't really missed sports that much.

I've pretty much given up sports also except for Dallas Stars hockey and I have no doubt I could walk away from that also.

I have Sling TV at the house, but we only have it for Globo TV which is a Brazilian station. (my wife is Brazilian)

I have Netflix (for Star Trek) CBS All Access (again, only for Star Trek) My wife also watches Hulu, and my daughter watches Disney+ (though I only pay $2/month for it)

I have Amazon Prime too, but not for TV and I've maybe watched something on it twice in many years of having Amazon Prime.

I'm a full-time RVer and we get just about all of our content via the internet and streaming content providers. We're currently paying Amazon, Netflix, Philo, and Acorn, but also use several free providers too. When football season starts, we will record/view games using Taboo OTR. My home-made media server

I've got Netflix, D+, Hulu and Prime (more of the added bonus to shipping like you I assume) that supplements my antenna. Vue and YouTube TV had mostly just been for sports and a few cable shows. Sports, whenever they come back, might be missed but I could easily subscribe to walking dead, wynonna earp, etc on Prime for a whole lot less a year than YTTV costs me.

There's a part of me that when my daughter goes to college that wants to sell everything and buy an RV. Make home wherever I park that night. Do they build TV antennas into those things?

I'd have to get a job that I could do anywhere as I'm not financially set to retire any time soon.

Yep, but new antenna technology is probably better than what's up there. I've got an antenna and a satellite dish on top, but I use neither. I put my effort and money into securing a strong internet connection. That gives me whatever content I want.

This is a hot topic with RVers. Everyone has an approach to entertainment and all have pros and cons.

I'm a big fan of the sub channels that broadcast tv has myself. Thanks for the info.
