There's plenty of crap but it still has a lot of good stuff. "Man vs. History" is a pretty solid new show. Also really like the "Machines That Built America", "Foods That Built America", "Men Who Built America" series. "History's Greatest Mysteries" also good.
Mountain Men is the sole reason any cable/streaming platform I use has to have History Channel.

I can’t imagine that this will be a long standoff though but in the meantime I’ll take the $5 savings and do just that with Peacock premium. Maybe I will try to fit in a rewatch of The Office as a bonus.
If you want to watch The Office there are reruns on Comedy Central constantly. You could add it to your library and the whole series would probably be recorded within a week.

Unless you want to watch Diversity Day. If they get rid of the Dinner Party, I'm never watching comedy central again :)

Here is a new policy that I hope doesn't catch on...FuboTV only letting new subscribers pay 3 months more more at a time...no month-to-month payment options. Again...hope this idea fails spectacularly!


These guys are going to start bundling more and more together and locking you in to longer contracts.

They'll become everything they campaigned against.

Such is the circle of life.

Yeah...while this is only for new subscribers I could see this becoming a thing. I have no problem paying a longer-term deal if I get something out of it like $10 a month cheaper or whatever.

Come on that's the same crap everyone had to deal with when using Dish/Direct/Mediacom, etc...."I'll sign on the contract again if you drop the price back to a introductory price." Blah

On a side note, I've been very happy with the way YTTV handles the olympics recordings. Everything is right where you need it and in order. On the downside, the 4k version seems to always be a day behind and I'm hearing that it's NBC's fault because they only are offering 4k live offerings in limited markets.

Agree...but this would be different in the sense that there is no equipment involved and the moment I decide to quit a particular service I can instantly have service from a different provider...no apppointments/installations or whatever. As the article I linked pointed out...they say they are experimenting with this...I hope it fails in a big way!
