DirecTV wanted a two-year agreement and an equipment fee for a box I would never own. That was the last straw. 10 months later my whole household runs on one IPTV service and a Firestick, and I have not missed a single thing I actually watched.

WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A GOOD IPTV service
After 21 months and 11 providers, this is what I no longer compromise on.
It holds during peak hours, not just quiet afternoons.
The channels you genuinely watch, live and in HD — not twenty thousand dead entries.
Two or three simultaneous streams, so the household is not fighting over one.
A program guide that matches reality. Compare it against three channels; if the guide is wrong, the provider does not control the feed it is selling you.
Support that answers a real technical question within the hour.
WHY I PAY MONTHLY FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS
The annual discount is the most expensive saving in this market.
Twelve months is long enough for a service to change owners, lose a feed it was reselling, or quietly reduce its server count. None of that is visible on the day you pay.
A month covers a real cycle: a full sports weekend, a holiday evening with the house busy, and ordinary weekday use. If it holds up across that, the annual plan makes sense. If it does not, you lost one month instead of twelve.
The providers pushing hardest for the yearly payment are usually the ones that need the cash now.
WOULD I GO BACK?
No — and not for the reason you would expect. The money matters, but the thing I actually notice is not having an equipment fee, a contract, or a retention call in my future.
What I gave up: a physical box and a phone number to shout at. What I got back: about 110 dollars a month and a setup my whole house can use at once.
What I would do again: keep paying monthly for the first two months before committing.
The service that finally replaced cable for me is Cutt. No contract, no equipment fee, cancel whenever. Channel list, pricing and device guides are at https://cutt.ly/oyvSngJW — about three minutes to get going.
