Cutting the Cord

Bump that. Mad enough at myself for paying for ESPN+ to watch the Niners lose constantly. In my house we generally only pay for one streaming service at a time though. Just dont consume enough TV to justify $100+ a month for services.

I’ve switched from the Hulu live bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+ to the YouTube TV sports bundle and don’t think I’ll miss anything. Never used Disney+ anyway and they force you to buy it with the live package. I’m paying about half what I was paying before.

I get Disney+ for free. I would never pay for it. Already cancelled Netflix, etc. all I have right now is YTTV Sports PKG and Apple TV+ which I’m about to cancel if FC loses any more games.

Catch myself watching a good deal of free stuff like Tubi. Even the Roku Channel. Yeah they have ads, but now so do all of the so called premium services. Where is the value proposition? Why pay for any of them?

I get a lot of streaming sources that are included in my Spectrum subscription. I’m probably paying for them in some fashion, but I’m ok that they’re “including” them with my subscription. All of ESPN’s streaming platforms are part of the deal, not just ESPN+.

Yes, that is the same thing in YTTV.

This is insane. They are jacking the price again and putting ads even on the “ad free” plan.

How is this worth it?

They can do whatever they want as long as it still comes free with my AT&T Fiber.
