OT - Cutting Cable

[peteypie]

I just switched from dtvnow to philo and YouTube tv. Same price and love YouTube tv way better than dtvnow

Those who keep saying Hulu Live has the best sports programming...is it any different than YouTube TV? I have had YouTube TV for well over a year and quit looking at the other options. I can't imagine Hulu Live has more sports programming...maybe the same?

I compared them in Dec, and they were the same. Chose YTTV because the interface is way better, and the unlimited cloud DVR which is fantastic.

I have YTTV and Philo. Great combination.

For those curious about Philo, they currently have a 1 month free trial.

It appears that deal is sold out now.

Moving to YTTV this month. Buying two new Sony TVs that have the app embedded. Really looking forward to the switch.

Do they have PSVue apps as well? Would be funny if they don't.

I believe Sony TVs run Android, so they should have a Vue app yes. With how fragmented Sony's divisions are it wouldn't surprise me if they have some product that will run Sling/DTVNow/YTTV but not Vue

 

[isuno1fan]

Yes they have PSVue.

I’m buying a 75” and a 55” of their new X950G sets.

YouTube TV added some nice channels today (HGTV will please the Mrs!!):

As long as I can split YouTube TV with the family for no additional cost. This is a no brainer compared to traditional cable.

I do fear they are just becoming another traditional cable tv package with these price increases though

I understand the concern...but my $35 bill hasn't changed since I signed up in Feb 2018.

Your bill will go up to $50 after May 13. Sucks but still better than taking rental and broadcasting fees from cable

Yeah...that blows but I agree it is way better than the $100+ I was spending when I had cable...

And now T-Mobile enters the world of television...this doesn't seem to be all that great of a deal...better than DirecTV I guess??

All set to make the move. Just got my antennas set up for OTA channels last night. After much consternation, I got it to the point where we get everything but channel 5 on both sets. Still trying to decide which streaming service I want to get.

Philo. Unless you need sports all year. I just subscribe to Hulu live or yttv (might change now with price) during FB and BB season.

I've looked at that, but really don't want to have to convince my wife to add $45 a month with sports as my reason.

I'm thinking Sling Orange + Blue

Might look at Hulu live. Same price. More sports channels and better channel selection.

Hulu Live definitely has a better channel lineup than Sling.
