I'm excited to see the pendulum shift back and people get cable again

because it's cheaper than having 4 streaming services. LOL. Unlikely, but this going to get out of hand.

Why have 4 streaming services? I'm confused.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 8:56am

To watch the shows you want to watch. The average American subscriber watches

byubyu

Jul 18, 8:59am

Netflix, Hulu, CBS All-access, HBO, Disney+

Biff

Jul 18, 8:59am

Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+.

TCuz

ESPN+

Biff

Jul 18, 9:05am

ESPN+ is mostly live content, which seems a bit different.

TCuz

I get pretty much everything I want with youtube tv and Netflix.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:18am

Uh, me I guess. I have almost all of those.

TCuz

Jul 18, 9:20am

Yikes. That's a lot of subscriptions.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:25am

Yah, I also have a tv streaming service.

TCuz

Jul 18, 9:28am

A lot of content is now being produced only for streaming services

Kaze

Jul 18, 9:01am

Having Dish/Cable isn't going to fix that.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:04am

I predicted that a few years ago. That "cutting the cord" wouldn't really be

byubyu

Jul 18, 8:57am

It has saved me a ton of money. I will only pay for one streaming service

Kaze

Jul 18, 9:02am

So, no BYU games?

byubyu

Jul 18, 9:04am

I'm either at the BYU games or I'm watching with family.

Kaze

Jul 18, 9:06am

see, that's what I'm saying. I'm hearing this from others as well, plus Sports

Mayor of Cougartown

Jul 18, 9:08am

It depends on the consumer

KingDave

Jul 18, 9:17am

Cord cutting was never about saving money. It was about flexibility.

astroman

Jul 18, 9:50am

I pay $64.99/mo all-in between Youtube TV and Netflix. I just went on

IdahoCoug

Plus, it’s shareable. Split it with my brother.

HingleMcCringleberry

Jul 18, 9:15am

And how much for Internet on top of that?

Iman23

Jul 18, 9:35am

But you need internet anyway.

HingleMcCringleberry

Jul 18, 9:39am

I know. I'm making the case for Xfinity bundling, not because it's awesome, but

Iman23

Jul 18, 9:49am

I would have internet regardless.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:41am

but you don't get local sports with youtube tv? So if you like the Jazz

Mayor of Cougartown

Jul 18, 10:14am

The NBA/Jazz need to fix that. Let people add their LOCAL team to streaming. I'd

Cougar TD

Jul 18, 10:21am

True. The Jazz conundrum is still the hole in the plan.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 10:21am

if they did, I think I could go with youtube tv. My SIL and her parents share

Mayor of Cougartown

Jul 18, 10:33am

Yep. As an aside, you MIL sounds hideous. 🙂

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 10:52am

haha, yeah I screwed that up.

Cable is never coming back

Seasider

Jul 18, 9:13am

seems like once 5g is out, cable could have an accelerated death rate, many youn

byu1

Jul 18, 9:30am

sounds like cable may just change and we'll call it something else then

Mayor of Cougartown

Jul 18, 10:13am

cable does NOT eliminate need for services, I have cable+netflix+amazon video+

byu1

Jul 18, 9:20am

Just curious what you get with F1tv. I watch all of the races and sometimes

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:28am

I don't know how YTTV works yet, but what I can get

byu1

Jul 18, 9:35am

Sounds cool! I'll have to look into that.

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:44am

Or here's an idea...watch less TV

Aircooled

Jul 18, 9:34am

I think people are watching more tv than ever before via the streaming

Mayor of Cougartown

Jul 18, 10:16am

Buying time?

JuicyJam

Jul 18, 9:03am

It might be, it's down over $40 dollars.

RC Vikings

Jul 18, 9:08am

Probably due to Disney revving up their service.

BYU4Life

Jul 18, 9:06am

I'm certain of that. Netflix is going to take a big hit in Q4 and 2020 Q1 with

IdahoCoug

Jul 18, 9:19am

I will be part of that hit.. I have Netflix for my kids. I watch occasionally,
