They seem to have the channels I want except for NBC Sports California. Fubo and Hulu don’t have AMC and IFC. Youtube doesn’t have A&E, Lifetime, etc.

Other points-

Based on the 500,000 gain YTTV had in the 1st quarter, if that is the average gain for the rest of the following quarters, along with the average loss of 500,000 per quarter for DirecTV ( currently at 10.5 Million total for the entire company), that means YTTV will become the #3 Provider by...
