Actually depending on the promos it **might** be cheaper. Remember to add internet for YTTV.I did, YTTV vs DirecTV, guess what, YTTV won.
I can compare Comcast and Spectrum, but with all those extra fees, Broadcast Channels, which is about $25, a RSN fee, plus Box ( s ), DVR ( cloud or otherwise) and then those extra fees like franchise, public access, FCC, with all that it is pretty easy to figure out YTTV will be less expensive.
I was looking at xfinity (because I thought I might be moving to a xfinity area..not happening now) and the pricing for 400MB internet (the cheapest to get unlimited...otherwise its 1.2TB cap) and "family cable" that includes the RSN and 2 boxes is about the same as YTTV.
Promo price is $67.45 (Fast + Popular TV $143.00/mo, No term contract, Promotional discount −$45.35/mo, Autopay & Paperless discount −$10.00/mo, Multi-Product Discount −$20.00/mo)
2 X1 boxes $18 (1st one is free)

Broadcast TV Fee $15.80/mo
Regional Sports Fee $12.30/mo
Monthly plan tax $17.60/mo
total $131.35/mo
Internet only was $50 + YTTV at 72.95 so $122.95 + sales tax of 7.375 (6.875% MN state tax + .50% county tax) $132.02
just sayin......
