Surprised it took this long tbh. Was pretty steady for a few years.
YTTV price increase
- Thread starter ISUAgronomist
- Start date
people expect to pay $50 for 150+ channels.
The fact is YTTV/HULU whatever you want to roll with is 10000x times better than DISH/DIRECTV.
My father in law pays almost $300 bucks a month for directTV. (3 boxes, movie channels, etc.) And people are complaining about $82?
As long as all users have similar zip codes it’s fine. I’m in Ames and split with someone in DM and it’s been fine but when I tried to split with someone in Cedar Rapids it shut one of us down after a few months
That doesn't even get to rental fees for ****** equipment that's been paid for 10 times over
I ended up going with 4k for this reason. I share with my kids at college and kept getting booted when both kids were on and wife and I were watching something different. Now I'm at least set when I'm at home. Kids aren't paying for it so if they get booted at college then tough.
Does anyone else have trouble with it forgetting your location and network? I just had to reset it again last night after getting kicked out during the women's game. It wasn't on my home network anymore.
Good point. And taxes.
Fact of the matter is you could be paying close to $150 with them.
Hulu Live is about the same price as YTTV is going to. They must've raised theirs recently?
We do the same with my in laws. Since I am more tech saavy, lot of times for sports I just use the sign in for the various apps (ESPN/FOX,etc). It's worked for as long as we have had it
Still with having Metronet and YTTV with 4k , still paying roughly half of what I was paying with Mediacom, with a lot less issues, no cables, way fewer service interruptions and speeds have been way better.
I hate to think of our retirees having to downgrade from Game Show Network to Buzzr on a free stream.
Then again
I watched Card Sharks from 1985 last night. Mrs KnappShack said I was way too invested in the game. She was right, but it's goddam CARD SHARKS!!
Also enjoy watching Bob Barker era Price is Right. Not only do I try to guess the price of the items, but there's an extra element of time. How much does a microwave cost in 1983???
My Hulu+ Live increased in the last 30-60 days - bundles with ESPN+ and Disney+.
When comparing it to other services, it’s comparable. But when comparing it to what it was when it launched, it sucks. At launch, it was a service that didn’t provide every channel, but had the ones that I wanted. And it was significantly cheaper than those other services as a result. Since then, they keep adding channels that I’ll never watch but still am going to pay for.
This is why the ESPN/Turner/Fox service was intriguing. It would be nice to get back to offering a sports pack without the extra fluff. I understand that sports is a majority of the cost, but if I can save $20-$30 by not having the 10 news channels, the 3 cooking channels, and all the other channels I’ll never watch, I’d take it.
I had Hulu+ Live TV and just went to regular Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN+. I am sad because I won't be able to watch a bunch of basketball games but the cost was getting too much and trying to tighten up my budget.
I guess you can through something called "youtube primetime channels" for an extra $100
But you wouldn't have the CBS, NBC, FOX or ESPN games. Would have to go over the air, or other streaming services for those.
It’s been really annoying to watch YouTube tv continue to add channels with nothing but junk. So much unnecessary add ons.
Ive had Hulu + live for awhile now, cost has gone up (pretty normal) but with Espn+ I think its worth it. I can watch about any game that I want, My cell carrier is my internet and they also pay for netflix and apple tv. Split a few streaming services with friends. I do like the fact that my internet cost is fixed and will not change!
