YouTube TV increasing price to $49/mo in March

It's finally adding Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, MotorTrend and EPIX.
I switched from PS Vue (due to its limited DVRing) and the only thing YouTube TV is still missing is NFLN, IMO, and optional add-on movie channels.
The price has incrementally increased from $35 to $40 to $49.

So all the cable will eventually just move to internet cost. You will pay more on a content basis, but it will be the stuff you want. Less mainstream things will lose a space in entertainment as they will not be financially carried by stronger programming. Is that right?

I think they will still be there. But add-ons to a larger package. And tons of adds to make it worth while.
Stronger program you will pay a premium for like HBO or Netflix. Weaker programming will be bundled and presented as “free” and include advertisements

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.
went back to cox and am happy

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

tired of using shitty FireTV remote, tired of laggy interface, tired of quality dips despite having elite internet, tired of only one local channel
i'll pay the extra $5 to fix all of that and have an infinitely better user experience. internet tv was fine when you had the cost savings, but now you might as well switch back. too many headaches just to save a few bucks

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

Don't have any problems with Google Fiber.
I honestly love youtube TV. The amount of movies I have DVR'd is ridiculous.

Free market works in mysterious ways.

I had no idea YouTube tv was that much. I can pretty much guarantee there is zero chance of me signing up with them anytime soon.

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.

this is what killed me.

Best solution is to ween yourself off crappy media. There is no reason why anyone should pay to watch content from Food Network, TLC, etc.

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.
