Why have 4 streaming services? I'm confused.

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

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

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

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

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

So, no BYU games?

byubyu

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

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

It depends on the consumer

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

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

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

And how much for Internet on top of that?

Iman23

7/18/19 9:35am

But you need internet anyway.

HingleMcCringleberry

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

I would have internet regardless.

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

Mayor of Cougartown

7/18/19 10:14am

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

Cougar TD

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

IdahoCoug

7/18/19 10:21am

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

Mayor of Cougartown

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

Cable is never coming back

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

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

Mayor of Cougartown

7/18/19 10:13am

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

7/18/19 9:20am

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

IdahoCoug

7/18/19 9:28am

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

byu1

7/18/19 9:35am

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

IdahoCoug

7/18/19 9:44am

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

Aircooled

7/18/19 9:34am

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

Mayor of Cougartown

Buying time?

JuicyJam

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

RC Vikings

Probably due to Disney revving up their service.
