What streaming services do you have and how much do you like them?

YTTV just announced another $10 price hike. Up to $82 a month. I started at $35 

I'm not happy about this. I only have it for live sports from the start of KSU football in the fall until the end of March Madness. Still have to get ESPN+ to access a lot of games I want to watch.
I think Disney+ is the only other sub I have right now.
May have to take another look at what the cost for for Hulu plus live TV's bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+ would be

Echo this. Rather upset ngl. I get prices were always going to go up but to be paying 2.5x when I started and it's mostly just for sports is insane.

I still think i'm more pissed about them adding the comedy central channels and jacking up the price while telling us how great it was that they added channels I didn't ask for. I guess I'm just yelling at clouds since I never do anything about it, but at some point I should probably look for alternatives since we just don't watch much tv in our house.

If someone finds a package with the same amount of sports for less money, please let me know

find a buddy/family member or two to share it with. I'm in the same boat, rarely (never) watch live TV but I need my sports fixin's. I share YTTV with two other friends and just give him cash once a year for my share. I'm sure sometime in the future they will make this impossible to do like netflix has but they haven't done it yet.

This is the way.  Also to get around the 3 simultaneous streams, you can use your individual youtube tv profile to login to apps (ESPN, MAX, etc)

I don't like Hulu for live sports - I always seemed delayed watching games/texting friends who watch on YTTV.  Hulu frequently freezes when I put a broadcast on and when I fix it, the feed remains 5-10 seconds behind where it started.

Agree that the YTTV app works better than Hulu (at least the way Hulu worked 2 years ago)

[Brock Landers]

Yeah at least YTTV's previous price increases came along with them adding additional channels, not that I watched any of them lol.  This time it's just going up because eff all of you, that's why.  I'm definitely canceling it as soon as the NFL season is over.  I used to wait until the NCAA tournament ended to do that but as everyone knows basketball is a dumb sport.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Kind of off-topic but there are a lot of people creating really interesting food and travel content on YouTube. I find it much more interesting than the stuff that is available from networks like HGTV, etc.

My parents used to have regular old cable and it was something stupid like $240 a month including internet. Just got them switched over to YTTV and now I have my own profile and don't have to use their login to watch games on the ESPN/FOX/ETC app.

Win Win.

Max gets you tournament games (except maybe CBS) - you may be able to do a free trial or a month of that instead of Hulu.

Does anyone use sling anymore? Seems like a decent off season compromise.

saw that and it made me want to take a peek at cable. the challenge is they have so much sports content I think it's still cheaper than cable.

YTTV people were so annoying about it and always acted like that service wasn't going to be like every other one.
Direct Stream is still the best for sports. When they had the carriage dispute with Disney this fall, I trialed YTTV and not having the MLB Network in September would have sucked if I didn't still have DTV. Also I love hockey so not having the NHL Network is a non starter for me.

That being said that YTTV quad box is rough ridin' nails and I do miss that from my one month trial.

The nice thing about YTTV is that you can divvy out subs with a few pals and share. I use a subscription from a pal who hooked me up.

I have sling, seems OK.  I watched all the Qatz football I wanted this season @ $75/mo.  There was even more Qatz football available but I rage quit a few times.

This only works if you live in the same area, FYI.

Actually, you only have to login to the home area once every 3 months to use it wherever you want.  And Chrome has nice built in location spoofing tool to do that from anywhere.

When casually watching I just use the app for whatever device I am on.  You only have to do one login from the home area to get it back to the 3 month "travel" usage, so I use Chrome for that login.  I suppose using a vpn for that would work as well.   For reference, our family account home area is in Austin, I live in Portland, and set my account's area to Portland.  I have to login "from Austin" every 3 months, and it all just works.

What's the Chrome plugin? Zenmate?

I just add the home area coordinates in Sensors under Tools (https://williamkoehrsen.medium.com/controlling-your-location-in-google-chrome-6c0b216d1ba1).  The only pain is you have to completely logout of all Chrome browsers, clear all cache, turn off location, etc.

You can also just send your account\password to whoever actually lives in the home area and have them login there for you.  I just personally don't like that option.

okay. I will have to take another look at this.

[pissclams]

go to yttv chat and ask for a retention discount

[IPA4Me]

Meh. I just dumped it. It more than covers all my other subs at $83 a month
