Youtube TV up to $50/month now.
Apr 10, 2019, 11:24 PM
|
|
Seems that they added Discovery, HGTV, Travel, Motor Trend (JEAH), Food, TLC, and some others, so it's just going to $50 like that, immediately.
Hmmmmm. I had really adjusted well to not seeing love it or list it and the 47 different spin off shows with the annoying metrosexual twin brothers. Only one of the bunch that I GAS about is Motor Trend and I can get all their content free online.
$50 is still on the correct side of the value equation for me, but they're quickly approaching my breaking point on the elasticity curve.

$10 extra dollars for 0 additional value to me
Apr 11, 2019, 2:08 AM
|
|
After reading their email today I couldn't help but think they must have hired some former cable/satellite exec to make a dumbasz move like this. Thought about cancelling immediately on principle alone.

Now they just need to work on local channels. My DirectTV is only $60/mo now but maybe I'll switch in a year.
Actually..they're still missing the history channel so how am i supposed to keep up with ancient aliens?
And no word if they will be carrying the ACC network

I love watching those guys not find anything, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars drilling holes, and listening to every kook with a theory on whats actually there.

They actually found the location of a lost treasure in Bolivia? but cannot take it out yet (due to weather conditions and other factors). they're currently negotiating with Bolivia? to return to the site and get it out of its shaft

The main perk is unlimited DVR

Sling and others come with 50 hours, which my kids would fill up with Simpson’s and The Office episodes in week one.

Bruh, here’s the reality of it.
Apr 11, 2019, 8:39 AM
|
|
Any time I make any switch at all to our home entertainment setup, I become a on-call 24/7 tech support person for my lovely and otherwise intelligent wife for the next 8-12 months. We’ve had YouTube TV for almost a year and I still get the “hey can you put X show for me” several times a week.
If I put in a home entertainment PC I would have to quit my job to answer all the family inquiries I’d be getting.

I did a home theater PC for 1 year and cut cable.

Had it set where you cut it on and CBS was playing. Basically my wife either watched what was on that, or waited til I got home to watch anything.

we cut the cord almost 4 years ago, rely on Roku & antenna
Apr 11, 2019, 12:55 PM
[ in reply to Bruh, here’s the reality of it. ] |
|
(which usually involves switching the TV input)...I also have a networked OTA Tuner that allows a couple apps to play/DVR live tv from the antenna. PLEX, for instance, is on every roku, computer, phone, tablet, and FireTV we have....
No matter what, or how many times I've explained this, SheGUAR has no idea how to witch from one to the other, doesn't grasp the whole concept that Live Local TV exists both inside AND outside the Roku...or that the live tv via the antenna doesn't cost us anything monthly...

Someone has obviously never paid the cable bill
Apr 11, 2019, 2:21 PM

or dish/direct TV bill.
I think if I could convince my wife to pay our cable bill (or any bill for that matter), the OTA vs cable issue would change immediately.

When I told my wife this, her first question was
Apr 11, 2019, 11:09 AM
|
|
"Did they add Hallmark Channel?"
When I said no, she returned to being disinterested in YouTube TV. Hallmark Channel is the holdup for us completely dropping DirecTV and going with just YouTube TV.

Sharkgirl doesn't care about that station. She really doesn't care about TV much at all. I do fear if were to go away for a week, she'd end up in some reddit hole and never come back.

I want NOTHING to do with YouTube. There is just something sinister happening at that company. They scare me.
