I have a Roku and pay $40/month for YouTube TV. I cancel this during the off-season as it is no contract and I really don't need outside of football season. Here are the quick points on it.
1. You will be prompted for location information when you setup YouTube TV and that will give your local ABC, CBS, regional Fox Sports stations, etc. based on that location information.
2. It includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, BTN, CBSSports, SECNetwork, FS1, FS2 - don't think I missed any. Really the only missing items are the ACC/PAC12 networks but I find I rarely watch those.
3. You can use your YouTube TV Login to access ESPN3 streaming/ESPN streaming wherever if you need that.
4. I do also pay $5/month to have ESPN+ for other MAC/G5 games that are not on the other networks. Kills me a little bit but I want that MAC football.
All in all, I really like the setup for $45/month (YouTube TV and ESPN+) for a few months out of the year. YouTube TV has cloud DVR if you want to record games and you can pause, play, rewind, all that good stuff just as if you had a DVR box.
Hope this helps!
