But these days, literally ALL of the streaming services have that

Any of the ones that have live TV, have a guide exactly like cable. Hulu, Sling, YouTube...evej the free ones like Pluto. So it can't be that. But that's not my question. I'm trying to wrap my mind around having BOTH YouTube TV and cable at the same time. What's that doing for you?

The Prime movie list is garbage these days, IMO.
MP4VT2004 • 05/24/26 11:13 PM ET
The Great Courses offerings are usually excellent.
