lol this is why I switched back to cable. all the internet tv companies are gonna keep jacking up prices until they're basically at cable prices, but with buffering, poor interfaces, goofy remote, and no local channels.

They’re all ultimately owned by the same 10 companies so you fell for what their ultimate goal was anyway...force you back to cable

so in the meantime I'll pay less and you wont? I barely watch TV anyway, if it wasn't for my girls I'd probably not even have it

Free market works in mysterious ways.

I did the whole cut the cord thing for a little over a year, constantly switching between netflix, "rabbit ears" for local channels, amazon prime content, searching for new movies on Kodi, etc.
I finally got sick of it and went back to a cox box when I moved to my new house. It's a little pricier but so much easier to deal with.

Same.
As far as goofy fire remote, Apple TV blows everything away with smoothness and ease of use. I used Apple TV, Roku and Fire. Roku and Fire were always so clunky and slow to respond Apple TV is the way to go if you do choose that route. I still use it with my Cox cable on tvs I don't want to pay for a box.

Since my smart LG tv has a flawless laptop-like web browser, I live on regular YT as if I have a 65 inch computer monitor but just like when I had cable and PS Vue, I usually only watch YT TV for sports, breaking news, DVR'd programming, and rare idle channel surfing, which now has even more channel options, with unlimited DVRing.
I can watch YT TV anywhere I can sign in and watch my programming, on any device: anyone's smart tv, laptop, smart phone, or ipad, etc. Try that with cable.
Most importantly, my account can be shared with up to 6 family members, separate accounts all for the same price. I pay for my mom's internet and now she has free TV at her house with all the same cable channels. My sister splits the YT TV cost and between us, it was only $ 20/mo. each, which is now basically going up to $25.
When I had Cox, I paid for my cable HD channels, my mom's cable HD channels, my 3-room cable DVR boxes, mom's cable DVR box, my internet, mom's internet. That was almost $450/mo. just for us two. My sister separately paid for her HD cable, her multiple DVR boxes and her own internet which was almost $300. No thanks, I'm done with cable.

quote:Agreed. If the price is anywhere close to the same, I want the connection to be hardwired in, not wifi. We all see the posts in the GoT threads, where people complain of HBO Now freezing. Even a 2 second glitch is something you don't want to deal with, in a 1st release of an episode, or in a big sporting event. Not when you know you won't have that on Cable.

And being able to choose content channels too specifically will be counterproductive to the market. Everyone wants HBO for GoT right now... but I wouldn't have paid for History Channels specifically a few years back. And then Vikings came out, and suddenly I had that in the rotation of "must see TV".
