My in-laws have YouTube TV, and the only issue I've seen from it was only allowing 3 simultaneous streams. Could be the tier they're on, idk the specifics I've never used it, but I agree the multi-view is awesome. We thought we were getting a deal with Sling this past year. They had a package for $274 up front for 5 months of service. Literally had every single game I ever wanted. I was also familiar with Sling, set it up at a relatives house and bought an airtv 2 that connects to an antenna to her router so she could get the local channels, (It's literally the same concept as the Tablo, but heads up it only displays at 720p, even if the network signal is 1080i, and also only broadcast in stereo not 5.1, but if you're curious I can elaborate on that later), but that's the reason Sling is so much cheaper than all the other streaming services. They don't pay rebroadcast fees for the local channels. What I didn't know when I pulled the trigger on that package was it only allows 1 stream of ESPN/Disney networks. During football season we'll bring out an old tv my wife had before we got married to watch more than one game at a time. Here's where I ran into my issue with Sling. I think it was a noon game the first month of the season, but I had the Auburn/A&M game on the main TV, and I tried to watch the FSU/Clemson game on the small TV. When I turned that game on, kicked the Auburn game off and vice versa. Was nice Sling included the ABC games, and it's nice you can hit an option to see the scores and click on that game to watch, but had we not had the Tablo to watch the ABC game I was about to throw the TV out the window. Absolutely maddening. Like I said in the original post, we had Hulu the year before, and it's great for sports, especially college football, I just don't think it's worth the price you pay if you only care about sports.
One other thing... we're in this weird transition from traditional cable/streaming to direct to consumer and I find it interesting regardless if you pay for cable or streaming, you're going to be forced to subscribe to a streaming service to watch certain football games. I didn't sign up for peacock to watch that NFL playoff game, but it's going to happen sooner rather than later where I'll sign up just to immediately cancel. My assumption is over time, the more and more people cut cable will force that transition sooner rather than later. I just don't know what the cost delta is going to end up at if it eventually transitions to direct to consumer.
