All services will still be offered a la carte.


Disney+ $7.99
ESPN+ $4.99
Hulu $5.99


The hulu w/ads is why the package works out in terms of cost.

That's potentially a netflix killer. Until they raise the price after a year or so.

How much for the one with ad-free Hulu?

What is ESPN+? Basically everything you would have with ESPN through a cable company but in streaming?

No. You get some UFC cards and soccer matches and that’s pretty much it

Is hulu a decent cable replacement? Can I get USA, TNT, and the other big cable networks? The lack of originals is the main drawback. Netflix still has some shows I would miss.

Hulu with ads is terrible.

Netflix is also losing its two most streamed shows

The Office is going to NBC plus and Friends is going to HBO Max(AT&Ts new steaming service)

They need to find a way to incorporate ESPN into it and i'd be all for it.
ESPN+ is rather worthless

Yes. They have added several channels to it since I joined a year and a half ago. I like it. I just wish the DVR worked better. I don't know about an add free version, but you can't ff through commericials for saved shows on their cloud DVR.

I don't care about commercials. I'll watch them to save a few bucks. I like cable for the most part but don't really need the 100 or so I channels I get with Cox.

it's improved a lot since it first launched. My market has the big four locals. you can check before you sign up by putting in your zip on their website. I'd say hulu and YTTV are the two best live tv streaming options.

You say this until you’re on your 3rd set of 90 second commercials because the app keeps refreshing at the end and starting you back at the beginning of the commercial

Already got ad supported Hulu for free with Spotify, and I never watch TV shows on there because the ads suck. The movies don't have ads, but their movie selection is way worse than Netflix.

ESPN+ does nothing for me unless they ever pick up the EPL.

I don't think this is a very good deal at all, but they'll definitely be able to rope enough people in.

I wouldn't mind the commercials as much if it weren't the same ones over and over and over and over and over.

Hulu with ads is a nightmare

It’s not just the ads, it just doesn’t work.
