You know that after 4 seconds, you can skip the YouTube ads, right?
And, I realize that everyone's situation is their own, and what works for me doesn't work for someone else. I'm paying under $65 for Comcast Internet and local TV channels (broadcast networks, plus MeTv and the like). I'm paying $8 for Hulu, because of my superpower that allows ads to not bother me. If I didn't have that superpower I'd pay $12/month for Hulu. I don't watch Netflix. I do have Amazon Prime, but for shipping. Rarely watch movies from it, but it is a good source for movies. Hulu has some movies too, but not as many as Amazon or Netflix.
I don't normally use streaming services like DirecTV Now, Philo, YouTube TV, Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, or other. Live TV isn't important. If there's a show I like to watch (Better Call Saul) then I will just buy it. It's cheaper for me to buy shows than to keep a subscription to all these channels.
For sports, I don't watch any professional sports. I'll watch college football by subscribing to Sling TV (the cheapest streaming service with an ESPN package) during football season, cancel at the end of the season, resubscribe for bowls, then cancel again until next season.
Again, I realize my situation probably doesn't apply to you, but I've found a way to not pay a whole lot. But, if Live TV is important to you, then you'd need a service that has stuff you want. Philo is only $16/month, but it doesn't have a bunch of channels and no sports.
Still, if you find that a traditional service is better for you, go for it. Do watch out for long-term contracts where you save a bunch of money up front, then pay a whole lot more for months 13-24. And extra fees for this and that and the other.
Good luck.
