My issue was I was always working to free up space. With YTTV you can just set it and forget it.With Directv you could delete the recorded show or keep it. And everything was in one place. I did not have to jump from app to app to find things.
Also with streaming tv I have three totally different remotes for each set where with direct all the remotes are the same.
It took me some time to get familiar with each remote especially at night in the dark.
I don’t have the best internet and that’s one reason I liked the satellite better.
If direct was the same price as YTTV I would go back.
