Currently watching the Wild play on an old tv. Just bought a fire stick for it on Monday because the old roku went to shit. Logged onto my brothers YouTube TV account and it works great.
Foggy, I am thinking you wouldn’t need two services when going back and forth. It’s all just logging into your account and it shouldn’t matter where you are? I’m currently a half hour away from my brothers place using his haha

Edit: My wife just told me they do it by the enrollment zip codes. She said there may be a way to alter that.....but she did not know how. Anyone?? |

I looked at what YouTube offers last night and you do have a “Home” location for local news. Your home location remains in tact as long as you log into that location once in 3 months. You can use YouTube wherever you want but you would need to change your home location if you went to OZ for the winter. For us we would have to find an alternative way for local news in OZ because we would only travel there for a week or two at a time. There is also a limit on how many TVs/streaming devices that can be on at a time and that is 3. Otherwise you would have to add devices. |

My daughter and son in law have youtube tv. They get the major local tv stations along with a bunch of other stations. The one thing that I would caution you is make sure that your internet provider has fast speed for downloads or when you are watching shows they will constantly buffering. This is essential with any of the streaming providers.

One thing you could do is run one of those flat panel (mylar) antennas for local tv. I had one hung behind a dresser in a guest bedroom and it picked up all the Phoenix stations. I think it would be better placed in a window or in the attic space......but mine did find behind the dresser. I think we got like 12 stations locally. |

Couldn't pull jack grid with them things. Switched to this in SF, and ever since, I've never had frozen pipes, power outtages, or gotten the tractor stuck at the cabin.  |
