As of Oct 2024, DirectTv wanted $150~( best offer they could give a 23 yr vet lol ) - so even at $83 plus the $4.99 4k - still much better. Once i get to above $110-20 range, then ill start looking again, but for now i can stomach the $90/mo.
Dropping the 4K upgrade was a value decision more so than a cost one. Combining all of our subscriptions, we’re spending as much, if not more, for TV entertainment. I think when I discontinued the 4K I used that to justify subscribing to YouTube premium because I got tired of the ads.
I could probably drop YouTubeTV without feeling much sacrifice. Most of what we watch is on native apps with standalone subscriptions.
