4:15 I haven’t try Hulu live but is the same price?
Tubi is the best, you can find almost everything there , sometimes things that other apps don’t have, and it’s free
3:41 yeah I was going to sign up for that one but eh?
We have Hulu plus Live TV. The bundle used to include Disney, but now only includes ESPN. It’s up to $94! We don’t like network TV that much, mostly TCM (Turner Classic Movies), plus a few Hulu and FX programming. We are tired of Disney!
Streaming. The new cable. Want a service? Get it and then anticipate price hikes. Skinny bundles are high price bandaids. Our new part time job can be keeping up with streaming. Thanks for helping us do this Michael.
Directv is and will always be the best 1 to me. They have the best lineup, their interface is unmatched and now with their skinny bundle, I couldn’t resist. I’ll forever be loyal to directv. They keep up with the times very well. 🎉
This Disney monopoly needs to be investigated by Congress and the FCC
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Even with the price of youtube tv and my internet, it’s still $60 less than my cable bill was. I only get Disney/Hulu if they have a great deal on black friday. The only other streaming services I use are Netflix w/commercials and Britbox.
8:45Yeah I heard about that when someone take over Ryan Reynolds commercial it was funny but glad they will be make home Internet so I can cancel my original T-Mobile home Internet
What really bugs me about Hulu is all the crap it puts in front of me that then requires me to bundle other stuff. I went back to YouTube TV because they present to me what I can actually watch.
I do not pay for any networks, only steaming and over the air system.
I have peacock also but that’s it
I thought Disney was shutting down HULU? So true or not?
I’m on my way to my 4th year with Mint Mobile! Cant wait for internet.. tired of Comcast! Thanks!
HBO Max just announced they are eliminating the CNN Max 24/7 live news stream on 11/17.
No Ridiculous 24 Month Contracts Either….Like The Old Cable Days. Cancel Anytime. Pro Rated Charges. Much Better Than CABLE.
I have ZERO interest in Sports and I hate the fact that cable and satellite always bundled ESPN and made me pay for sports programming that I never watch. Trying to find a streaming service with just the stuff I would watch on cable and not make me pay to subsidize sports franchises or other crap like CNN or MSNBC is hard to do.
Here’s my top 5 live services:
1. YouTube Tv
2. Direct Tv
3. Sling Tv
4. Hulu Live Tv
5. Fubo Tv
I agree that Direct tv has improved its service despite its past bad reputation. May sign up with Direct Tv genre packs later
Thanks to you I tried directv genre packs and I love it!
Im doing Amazon prime I can buy disney movies there i don’t like most new Disney movies i ony do streaming there’s a reason I cut the cord along time ago
Hey Michael. Did you know Unimas has MLB playoffs games on free OTA. They’re the same games that’s on TNT. The announcers are speaking Spanish, but who cares it’s free.
No matter what i haven’t subscribed to none of streaming in other words i don’t like them.
Seems like cable is now cheaper! How ironic.
Will any of the pricing changes affect your streaming TV setup?
I love YouTube TV, but I can’t justify the cost anymore. It is the best option for sports, especially college football and basketball. It depends on what you watch. I can get local channels with an antenna, but there isn’t much on there. The new ESPN app is too expensive, and I don’t think you can watch ACC network games without paying even more.
If you bank with Chase, they have offers for cash back on YouTube TV and Fubo. Some are over a few months or a %
How can find the link be notified about mint mobile home internet
Why do I need a Hulu sub if it comes with Disney+?
I don’t pay for any of it. Y’all have fun with that. LOL
Honestly there’s nothing on worth watching?
When we started binge watching many years ago, we cut the cord 12 years ago and have no interest in "live" TV.
Question. What is jail braking a fire stick? And if you do or some can do u pay someone Annually for a service on programming? I have seen videos on how it’s done. Very confusing stuff. What is this?
If Philo had locals I would get it in a second.
I love my YouTube tv and it recently just got WAY better… The eliminated all Spanish channels… We had a bunch of them…GONE… on a side note I would totally replace it with direct TV stream because they have EVERY channel YouTube is missing… But they’re just so dang expensive 😢
Just when you think it can’t get worse, it does. I’m not even sure I blame the providers. They wouldn’t be charging these prices if people weren’t willing to pay.
Cord cutters should never cheap out on their streaming device. The Fire stick Max is not much more than the entry level device. The extra few bucks will definitely be noticed when you’re navigating the OS.
I canceled my subscription to Hulu for a month, Can I just get Hulu only after the month is up?? I don’t want bundle subscription because I don’t even watch Disney That will be a waste of my money
Good bye Disney.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I got out of these major premium streaming channels/services many years ago because of seeing their nickel dime cost increases every year. My predictions are right, and they are still doing the greedy money hungry grabs no matter how little the changes. Nothing ever goes down.
i will continue to watch all my free streaming services on my Roku device – I don’t mind Ads. And also watch live TV channels on my OTA antenna.
Take care.
Have an antenna and do just fine.
I canceled YouTube TV because they cut Univision on October 1 and that’s my wife’s favorite channel so I canceled and went to Hulu TV with Disney. I hope that YouTube TV comes to their senses and brings back Univision so I can switch back because YouTube TV is a better experience.
How about a price reduction that has no time limet?
Important changes: PRICE HIKES!!!
What happens to Hulu Live TV next year? Cutting the cord to switch to Hulu Live TV seems to come with some uncertainty at the moment
2:55 Yep this is what I signed up for but using Free trial
Cable/youtube tv has become a luxury a lot of people can’t afford these days. I just do YouTube premium and rotate Netflix, hbo and the rest.
I’ve had every one of these services and DirecTV Stream is superior to them all. Don’t fall for those numbers.
Back when I was a 20 or 30 something, this stuff would have been really important to me. But at 60+ now, I find most of the new content irrelevant, boring, or too simplistic. I need less TV and I watch much less TV the older I get, apparently. It’s just boring and uninteresting.
2:20 don’t forget Disney had a price hike in Dec. 2022 then Oct. 2023. As a result, those who bought Disney+ annual plans in Nov. 2022 saw a $80 –> $140 jump in 1 year.
I’m a sports fan but mainly baseball and pro football…no NBA
My experiences with Fubo have been excellent. I’m surprised to see it ranked so low. I don’t like their full price (I don’t like any live bundle price), but they keep asking me to come back for deeply discounted prices for one, two, or three months. I understand this could be considered sketchy, but I have two email addresses and use one while the other is canceled, and then switch when the offer is good enough on the other account. I don’t have Fubo at the moment (maybe they finally caught on?) but I’m watching my inboxes for that next offer!
