But without long term contracts which is still a huge bonus

Actually, might be worse than cable. Since it uses data (data caps coming)

Ugh - add local/regional sports channels and it'd be worth it.

cougfanblue

Then you'd get the lovely Regional Sports fee

What a stupid move. I ditched cable because they charged me for channels I didn't care about.

Nevermind, found the official release here. That is lame.

They will all jump in price. DTVN LOST channels and moved up in price recently. Sucks.

Now HuluTV is a better value

YIsForBrigham

Yeah, since I'm already paying for commercial free Hulu

We did it last year. It was great for football season. And I like the on demand options better.

Agree I hardly ever watch tv. At $40 a month youtube tv is fine. At $50 not

So stupid. People don't want more content. They want more choice.

Wait, so you're saying my $35/month is going up? They are forcing me?

trom2foot3

4/10/19 11:02am

That is exactly what they're saying. Sucky suck suck.

Dakota Cougar

They're not forcing you. You can cancel if you want.

TCuz

4/10/19 11:04am

True. That will probably happen once the NBA playoffs are over

trom2foot3

4/10/19 11:06am

They are forcing you in one regard though.

TCuz

Which package do you have?

Crazy Duck

PS Vue Core is $49.99 and has more channels, including NFL Network and local.

4/10/19 11:33am

Who is paying 125 for cable with similar offering of channels?

LiveCoug

4/10/19 11:40am

Well my wife will be happy they just added all her channels

Crazy Duck

4/10/19 11:38am

I do have to say that HGTV was one of the biggest reasons I never considered YTV.

TCuz

4/10/19 11:42am

This is the exact reason I held off for so long . . . The delay. However, I have

so easy to use and such a great interface that its still 1000x better than

Booo. I'll still stick with it though.

I'm out. Bummer as I had just moved over during FBall season. I'll cancel for

pause your subscription in your settings. Very easy to do and set a date for to start back up/cancel later

What’s the advantage of pausing over cancelling and restarting?

cougarfann888

4/10/19 5:11pm

I believe if you pause, it keeps your DVR recordings during the paused period

StantonMac

4/10/19 5:19pm

You can only pause for three months. Then you have to either cancel or reactivate.

HuskerFan2

4/10/19 5:27pm

I think 6 months.

We split it a friend so we are good with there being an increase.
