I got in at $39.99 a month and the service is now double that price without much added content. None of my other compatible services like mobile, internet etc have doubled in price over that same time period.

You realize we have that if you want it.


We have it for most everything except what we want - ESPN.

I'd pay $35 a month for all of ESPN. Not disney, I do nothing with disney, I want ESPN. But I'm not going to pay double the price for ESPN plus all the other trash.

If there is ever a way to pay monthly just for ESPN, cable TV will die once and for all.

Screw that. Might as well just pay for regular cable.

If the Redzone had a stand alone $20/month package, I would pay just for that and cut ALL of my services.

I only activate YouTubeTV for Redzone every football season.

They have not added enough content over the last 6 years to justify doubling their price, IMO. It's why I got rid of them.


I buy the same groceries and they seem to cost about double what they did a 6 years ago.

Switching to Hulu Live gets you the whole bundle for $70.


I was on Hulu live to try it out, but it is more finicky with sharing log ins than YouTube TV is.

I cancelled ours over a year ago after they raised the price the last time. Kids watch mostly Disney+.. Me and my wife mostly watch HBO Max or Netflix. The bad thing for them is that its no longer difficult to cancel your service. You don't have to ship your cable boxes back anymore or spend an hour on the phone with somebody from India. Just log in to your account and click "cancel"

Are you actually saving money compared to cable?


Since when Netflix, Disney + shows are on cable?

It’s not just about $$$ it’s about content as well. Unless you want continual reruns of diners, drive ins, and dives

It was $35/mo when I first signed up. After the first price increase, I quit that shite.

Even with this current price increase, it will be cheaper than what I was paying through Cox (and that was like 4 years ago and without the built-in, limitless DVR that youtubetv offers.

It has all the stations I want. Problem is them adding more stations and going up on prices instead of just sticking with what they have which was a package that was attractive to many people.

I use an IPTV service now.
I need to get on that. I use IPT for everything else, might as well do that too. I’m sure I can get a digital antenna for my local news channel.
