I’m not sure how your experience with Dish, OTA and local channels is related to live broadcast streaming providers.Does it really change that often? Are streamers mandated to give you only certain locals like (I think) they require of satellite providers? I'm in a rural area that would seem to be subject to such a change, because Dish gives me locals from a further away place than than what I can receive OTA, and those stations from Dish don't give any local coverage for weather or events. Yet I haven't seen a chance since I started service in 2001.
About 18 months ago there was nothing but Sling and PS Vue in the live broadcast streaming space, there were no cloud DVR’s, and simultaneous streams were more limited. Since then DirecTV Now, YouTube TV and Hulu Live Have rolled out. Channel lineups have changed, and local major channels have been added to some. Cloud DVR’s are way more common, and some offer more simultaneous streams. And UI’s have improved considerably, notably with PS Vue on Roku. So I’d say yes.
But the point was everyone should check what’s available at their address. What someone else has may not resemble what another user has available.
