I have ATT Fiber and it’s solid

Fiber does that.

I think the only thing stopping me from switching to YouTube TV is that I don’t think I can get the Astros games on ATT Sports Net.

Even if I use my parents DirecTV login, I don’t think they have an app available on any of the streaming services. They have an app on my phone and I watch through that sometimes when I’m not in front of the TV, but I don’t want to have to stream it through my phone every time I want to watch an Astros game.

Am I missing anything?

It’s possible to mirror your phone to your Roku (show what’s on your phone on the TV)

Do all of the TV’s have to be smart TV’s to do that?

No I have a “dumb” LCD with a few HDMI ports

Ok cast it from your laptop

You are better than that. You are a grown ass man.

And yes, I used my dad’s login to get internet on my American flight yesterday.

I have my own login currently because I am a U-verse cable subscriber, but if I cut the cord and switch to YouTube TV, it is impossible to get ATT Sports Net, which is the channel the Astros play all their games on.

So to get the Astros games, I would have to log in to the app using someone else’s credentials.

So no I am not better than that. I am paying for it currently and would gladly pay for it if it were an option through YouTube TV, but it’s not, and I would absolutely use my parents login to watch the games on my phone.

I feel like you don’t understand the situation you are commenting on.

Next to the Dodgers, the Astros have the worst TV deal in MLB.

Next to the Dodgers, the Astros have the worst TV deal in MLB.

I don’t mind it, every single game is on the same channel, and most every cable provider carries it. I imagine it’s just a matter of time until the streaming services pick it up.
