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

Why have 4 streaming services? I'm confused.

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

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

So, no BYU games?

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

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

And how much for Internet on top of that?

Iman23

But you need internet anyway.

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

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

Mayor of Cougartown

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