Getting closer to firing Comcast.
Are you able to watch local tv channels with streaming services? Rogue website seems to indicate that you need an antenna to do that.

I cut Dish for YouTube TV

I don’t miss Dish at all. I now live in Bentonville, Arkansas so I can’t speak to your local channels but I get all four of my local networks with YouTube TV, no antenna needed.

Playstation Vue has all the sports channels including ACCN and the local channels. Cutting the cord was the best thing I ever did. I love PS Vue and they have a great lineup without paying for all the junk stations you never watch like I was doing with Direct TV.

Yes, you get your Local Stations! I’m on PlayStation Vue for $55/mo. and love it. It runs off WiFi. PS-Vue has the ACC Network, and all the ESPN’s, and everything you need.
I also cut the Comcast cord - they wanted to up me to like $170, and now I’m at 50 for Internet/WiFi(using Comcast only for that) +
55 for PS/Vue Live TV streaming = $105/mo.
Another one is YoutubeTV. I’ve got it waiting in the wings if I need it - I’ve heard it’s real good. I think it’s 50/mo.
I first tried Hulu and DirecTV and didn’t like either one. Hulu was a mess and DirecTV kept raising their price.
Good Luck => CUT THAT CORD!!!

Re: Cord cutters (Two Options: TV/builtin App or ROKU)

PS: re: Switching to PS/VUE (Playstation/Vue) TV Streaming (or YouTubeTV for that matter)…
Forgot something important…
There are 2 ways to get PS/Vue Streaming working for your TV.
1. If you have a pretty new TV (like my Samsung Q7 series) that has the PS/VUE APP on it, you’ve got it made – nothing extra (the TV inputs your WiFi signal and sends it to its builtin PS/Vue App).
2. If you have an older TV that doesn’t have PS/Vue built in, you’re going to have to add a little ROKU Streaming device (for each TV) that will plug into the HDMI IN plug on your TV. The ROKU inputs the WiFi signal and runs PS/Vue and sends it to your TV. It has its own nice TV Remote that turns the TV ON/off and does the Volume. I went with a ROKU Premier+. For some strange reason, they’re like $80 on Amazon, but I got mine new for $45 on Ebay. The ROKU is loaded with all sorts of other things too – a bunch of free stuff, music, movies etc (which I haven’t bothered with).
CUT THAT CORD!!

I switched to PSvue several months ago from Spectrum. Have been reasonably satisfied with it except for the recent changes they made to the guide. Previously was able to scroll forward and back several days, now can't go back at all or go forward more than an hour. The time doesn't advance for every channel so when changing channels have to back out to the guide button to update instead of just scrolling to another channel. Also, getting DVR selections requires going to the Home screen and engaging the PSvue icon. The guide current version is much less user friendly. I use Roku to get the service so the guide may function differently for other access devices. Utube may be a good choice if PSvue makes other changes.

Cord cutting isn’t an accurate discretion

Because you still need an ISP. Your internet service is provided through the same cable that you currently receiving TV. I really like Youtube Live TV and you get all local channels. Plus it has lots of viewing features that Charter didn’t provide.

I've posted multiple times on this, but to summarize

I had Direct TV since 2007. Was paying $155 a month. I switched to Hulu a couple of months ago, and loved it and loved saving close to $100 a month. The only issue with Hulu is I wasn't getting my local ABC, which is where a bunch of the college games are televised.
So I switched to YouTube TV, and actually like it a little better than Hulu due to what you get for your money. With Hulu I was paying $60 a month for the base live service ($45) plus the extended DVR and multiple streams addons ($15). With YouTube TV I'm getting unlimited DVR and multiple streams for $50 a month. Plus along with my local ABC it also has AMC and Hulu does not.
As for local channels, you need to look up each service and see what locals are provided in your area as they vary.

YouTube TV. Hands down best decision I have ever made (at least when it comes to TV).

it depends on where you live, but most of the major services have local channels. Go to their websites (Playstation Vue, Hulu, YouTube) and check your local channel lineup. I use PlayStation Vue in the NOLA market, and I get locals for CBS, NBC, and Fox. ABC is NOT live, but that's a market thing, YouTube TV does not have it either.
Get a Roku, sign up for a trial, cut the cord.
