I did this last season. With the highest tier of YouTube Tv, you can share with several family members. I went in halvsies with my brother-in-law for the Sunday Ticket. He is an Eagles fan in Buffalo, and I am a Texans fan in Albany, NY. For 150 bucks for the season, it worked out really well. Now, this season with the Texans getting maybe 4 prime time games and a couple of 4PM starts, I might not go in for the Sunday ticket. I also have the highest tier of Netflix because my son is a traveling musician and uses it on the road all of the time. We have no issues being on the service at the same time. I have the Disney/Hulu ESPN+ bundle. I seldom use Disney+, I only use Hulu for Murders in the building. But I use ESPN+ often early morning coverage of golf. FA cup, and college basketball. If they jack up the price on the bundle, I will drop HULU and Disney like Nick Cannon's ladies drop kids. My best bang for the buck ad on is Discovery+. For 4.95 a month it has (for me) the most interesting content available. Just get used to that stupid Jardiance commercial at the beginning of EVERY EPISODE they air of anything.
Thats why God made Spotify basic. I'm ok with the ads. that's when I pour my cocktail, or put more wood on the fire, or turn the steaks. You don't get Amazon music with your Prime account?
Yes fubo provides the local channels as well. I only have the service for local sports as I don’t watch any other tv and all is well
I was curious myself so I checked into the different Amazon Music plans a moment ago. To tell you the truth, I'm a little confused right now but I think it goes something like this: Apparently there's an Amazon Music Free, Amazon Music Prime, and Amazon Music Unlimited. Then within the Amazon Music Unlimited version, there's a one device at a time plan and there's a plan that allows you to listen to up to six devices at once. I have the Unlimited, one device at a time plan. Amazon Music Unlimited allows you to listen to many tracks in HD and Ultra HD, and there are no ads. You can definitely hear a difference between standard and Ultra HD on a decent home stereo. With the app on my iPhone I can listen to certain songs in "spatial audio," which is also pretty cool. I'm generally very frugal and hate paying extra for things. And, to tell you the truth, I'm sitting here right now debating on whether or not I should be paying extra. God if those HD & Ultra HD songs don't sound really good though... I'm curious about Spotify too and have been thinking about trying it as well (I can live with a few ads if they're not too intrusive). There's also Tidal which offers even more Ultra HD, AFAIK...
Last question I swear...so Comcast wants to charge me about 140/month (which includes their router) for 1200mbs internet going forward. I just cancelled TV, so now I'm month to month with them on internet...and can't really miss a day without internet, that includes an actual in wall connection to my desktop in my home office. I should pay you some sort of consulting fee or buy you a beer...but any ideas on whether I can get that kind of connection cheaper with someone else that's reliable?
I ended my netflix subscription in Feb. Had them since 2015, never switching. About to do the same with Max. The ads did it for me.
And the prices stay increasing Google Says: Streaming service prices Hulu: $8 per month with ads, $18 per month without ads Hulu + Live TV: $77 per month with ads, $90 per month without ads Apple TV+: $9.99 per month after a free seven-day trial Disney+: Offers plans with Hulu and ESPN+ Max: Offers plans with ads and without ads Starz: Offers ad-free plans ESPN Plus: Offers premium content for sports Peacock: Offers a budget option for network shows and sports Paramount Plus: Offers plans starting at $29.99 per year Amazon keeps me for the free shipping https://www.consumerreports.org/ele...uide-to-streaming-video-services-a4517732799/ Rocket River
I've been seriously thinking about switching to the rotation model where we only pay for one or maybe two streaming services at a time, watch any content that was released since we had it last, then drop it for the next. Could probably save upwards of $40-50 a month if we were to do that.
Everyone who uses Hulu should only sign up during Black Friday when it's $2/mo for 1 year. That's really the only subscription I keep other than Amazon Prime.
lol. This is what I do. I got the regular Hulu with ads (not Hulu TV) combined with Disney+ Basic. I'm paying $3.23/month. Sad thing is, I still can barely find anything to watch on it, so I'm probably still getting ripped off. I'll cancel my subscription before they "automatically renew" me at a jacked up price. I need to set a reminder on my phone for that. Another one I do something similar with is Paramount+. They give one month free multiple times throughout the year, so when a new season of some Star Trek is complete I start looking for one of those subscriptions, binge-watch the series during that month and then cancel. The only ones I keep year-round are YouTube TV for my "regular tv", Amazon (only for the shipping), and League Pass for the Rockets. I throw in some free ones like Tubi, Pluto, and I'm set.
I can't keep up with the subscriptions, hasn't someone come up with a program to watch and modify my wants and needs and cancel and subscribe at the optimum times? I kind of quit signing up simply because I forget what I have, nothing good is on this month or I am to lazy. I am tired of a good show coming on and I don't have the channel, so I sign up and then they have **** programming for everything else
