Realchoice and Rodeo both have that kind of guide.

I just signed up for the youtube tv trial. I like that when you hit
the plus button on a series it gives you a season pass on the series
as part of the record option. I don’t like the channel guide, unless
I have not found it yet. I like the directv style of guide.

Youtube TV uses chromecast (they will send you a free one after your
first payment), IOS devices, and Chrome browser. I watch it mostly on
my Vizio TV that has built in chromecast or on another TV that has an
Apple TV. Basically, you use your phone, tablet, or PC as a super
remote-control. As far as the interface being the best, it uses live
video feeds as the thumbnail image for each live channel (this is
super cool). While timeline scrubbing through a DVR'd show, it shows
you a thumbnail of where you are while you scrub, so you can skip ads
faster than any other interface.
In our market (Utah), Fox News is very popular, so this is a huge
advantage over SlingTV. Although we don't have an official marketing
relationship with YoutubeTV, it essentially allows us to bundle
250Mbps Fiber Internet + YoutubeTV (local+network channels, 3 streams,
6 accounts) for $100/mo, or 1Gbps Fiber Internet plus YoutubeTV for
$113/mo. That's about $30 less than the non-OTT offerings which also
require set top boxes, not to mention the hassle of dealing with local
broadcast retransmission agreements and network channel distribution
rights agreements which is far worse than dealing with the mafia.

We ditched our own IPTV system a couple years back. We still
promote 3 partner multicast IPTV systems across our network and
Sling for OTT. However, Youtube TV launched in our market and is
way better than any other OTT system I've seen. Local channels,
network channels, cloud DVR and a much better user interface than
anyone else. It is very promising. I think it is going to take
the market for OTT (local broadcast and network channels) by
storm. I thought my TabloTV + SlingTV solution was pretty sweet
but now I am only using Youtube TV and Netflix. Worth checking
out if available in your area.

We are in process of deploying Rodeo. It's been a long
process and still not ready to launch. Be advised their
system is true IGMP multicast and needs some specific
network features to support that. Also will NOT handle
packet loss or network congestion well at all. It's not
like netflix where it goes to lower quality or buffers
nicely.

Anyone here doing Over The Top TV with their subs?
If so, What are some issues you deal with and which
content provider are you working with?
We are looking into Rodeo and RealChoice for this
solution.
Being that we are all wireless we want to be able to
provide voip and some video with our higher tier package.
