Conveniently too. Last year I went to a friend's house to watch a football game and he refuses to pay for YouTube TV or any sports streaming because 'theres free streams on the internet'.

He had to get up every 5 minutes to refresh Chrome on his laptop he had connected to the TV or find a new stream because they get taken down so quickly.

70$ a month is well worth ever dealing with that shit

IPTV providers are about as close as you can get to a perfect sports experience (TV/Movies have had a superior piracy experience for well on a decade+ now) and illegal IPTV providers leave a /lot/ to be desired. I don't use them since I don't care for sports but I've seen others use them and they are way better than the random "mirror 1, mirror 2, mirror 3..." sports piracy sites. However the quality is still iffy and you have to jump through hoops as providers are taken offline.

At the end of the day if I wanted to watch sports I'd just throw enough money at the problem to watch them legally. When it comes to TV/Movies, on the other hand, you cannot pay for the best experience (legally) which is really sad.

Our TV bill just went up and I'm debating exploring YT TV.

What I want is the main Sports Networks (FS1, FS2, ESPN, ESPN2), my Regional Sports Network (but that's a Bally channel now -- and that's kind of a bit of a mess at the moment), and MLB TV (the cable channel, not their own MLB service).

I also want "DVR" for everything, and I want to be able to skip the ads (ideally with a +30s button).

I typically watch my games delayed so I can skip the ads, or even just plain "later". We DVR everything else.

Will YT TV let me do that?
