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

It's eventually going to be online cable

wabluecoug

4/10/19 10:51am

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

4/10/19 10:50am

Then you'd get the lovely Regional Sports fee

Where you seeing the price increase details?

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

4/10/19 11:17am

lol I pay less for Directv and get all the local sports channels with it.

Which package do you have?

Crazy Duck

4/10/19 11:40am

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

Grit for Brains

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.
