Is that a teaser rate that increases after 12 months and what bullshite hidden fees are associated with that price?

All options suck these days. The only way to get ahead is to cut out the subscription services and cord and not watch anything at all.

That’s what I’m thinking. If I cancel for 2 months out of the yr, I’ll pay less than I’m paying now. I could get away with cancelling Feb and July easily.

I have Fiber Internet and TV with Lumos.

Was debating switching out the Lumos TV for YoutubeTV. Glad I read this thread.

I think we pay over $200 per month for everything. That does include setups for 3 TVs. They nickel and dime the bejesus out of you.

I got the same package. I really only need it for CFB and CBB.

End of March it’s done.

and this is why the TV money for college and the NFL has gotten stupid, the networks know they can throw out stupid amounts of cash because we'll be the ones inevitably subsidizing the bill for them

Wrong. I cancel YouTubetv in January and restart it in September.

At most it’s $400/year compared to $120/month (contract promo rate for cable) =$1,440.00

It's funny how all these cool advances in technology that were meant to be cheaper are now becoming the more expensive option. Uber is another prime example. It's cheaper and more reliable to take a cab in New Orleans now.

Dropped them after the 2nd price hike. The writing was on the wall that they would continue upwards with the pricing.

Nah, I'm dropping it after the bowl games. That's the only reason I had it in the first place. If ESPN would sell access to the SEC outside of some other bundle, I wouldn't have gotten it in the first place.

At what point does a cable company come in and offer a La carte packages?

These prices were the whole reason for cutting the cord.

Also if you already pay for the Disney+ bundle with ESPN & Hulu, you might as well switch to the Hulu Live TV bundle for $81.99 and cut YouTube TV to save $10-$20.

I love the YouTube TV interface but I don’t watch enough TV after football season to justify that price.

When are they going to bring MLB network back? That was one of my main reasons for going with YoutubeTV and they dropped them a month later.

It's why I switched to Hulu live a couple of years ago, which is only slightly better but YouTubeTV is becoming as expensive as cable.

If you are going to charge more, at least let me fully customize Multiview with different size boxes
