does the "learn more" link shed any light?

PS Vue goes under and the price increase is effective at basically the same time? Not a coincidence.

Well, you'd think they'd wait to capture all of the abandoned customers first. That gives me hope that this won't happen

This could possibly drive me back to cable.

I'd have to be saving money each month to consider switching back to cable. YTTV is just so far ahead in so many areas.

11/18/19 12:54pm

Farther ahead than cable or satellite? In what ways?

Man, it's a long list. Here we go:

Good points. I agree with a lot of that. But I still prefer the guide and DVR of Dish. I haven't used Dish for a few

The mobility and unlimited DVR were the things that brought me over

I was paying $35/month for two years. Crazy price hike.

Google is denying it for now and saying this was a bug

A bug....sure.

60.99 doesn't seem like a price they'd pick for their service

Lol at all of you cord cutters. Congratulations! You'll now be paying more than I'm paying for Dish...only you have to

Ok Boomer.

You do realize that some of us are millennials that prefer the experience of Dish/DVR to garbage streaming, right?

Pimpin4Paradise

11/18/19 1:11pm

I just like streaming because I can quit whenever the heck I want and my internet is amazing.

-C9-

11/18/19 1:11pm

Why is your streaming garbage? Too much money spent on your dish sub and not enough on your internet?

scootsy

11/18/19 1:13pm

I've got 200mb internet. Netflix streams fine and 90% of the time the live sports are okay, but the skipping forward

Pimpin4Paradise

11/18/19 1:15pm

I've literally never had that experience and I've been streaming everything for years. How much do you pay each month

scootsy

11/18/19 1:19pm

My 15 mbps internet takes 0 time to rebuffer when skipping forward on YTTV.

Had dish for years, my bill was always $70 or more

If it's true, it would probably just cause me to "Pause" my subscription more

IdahoCoug

11/18/19 1:09pm

How often can you pause? Does it have to be for a set term? Or could I cancel

cube3_cougar

11/19/19 1:00pm

You can pause as often as you want for up to a year at a time. The difference

IdahoCoug

FWIW Google says it's not true

Smart to backtrack. They had to realize that they can't charge traditional tv prices. Their customer base is made up of

Bug, or staged changes accidently released?

staged changes accidentally released = bug
