The variety article was updated: YouTube TV is going to cut its price by $10 so subscribers can get Peacock. https://variety.com/2021/digital/new...ls-1235074726/

What a stupid fucking requirement.

But I guess this is what you'd expect from a Comcast owned company taking on a Google owned one.

I've had Peacock in the past, but only the $5/mo version (and then just used it to watch WWE). Will the $10/mo version make up for what could be lost from YouTube TV?

If not ... I may be done with YouTube TV. In the two years I've had it, price has nearly doubled. I still don't get anything more than mono audio. I love the versatility of viewing on different devices and the DVR system, but losing NBC channels is a deal-breaker.

I already have Peacock through Xfinity, does this mean Id have to pay extra for it to have it on YTTV? Pay for it twice?

Deftones

You don't pay for it through YTTV. They are just telling you if you lose the channels, sign up for the app.

NBC wants it bundled but YTTV isn't playing that game.

Temporary extension for now https://www.theverge.com/platform/am...M6J92K&ampcf=1

So no word on how "short" this extension is?

I was ready to ride it out with YouTube TV for a few weeks. I really do like how they do things compared to similar streaming services. Things I watch that I would lose were WWE. But this would give me a good excuse to bail on them, since I don't really enjoy it that much anymore. I watch MSNBC, but getting that cut out may be better for my psychological health (as a lot of it seems intended to get people angry or scared). Sunday Night Football would be tough, but it's only 1 game. And from what I've heard, I could watch the games on a mobile device through the NFL's site.

Word is a deal is done, but no details yet: https://deadline.com/2021/10/nbcuniv...ut-1234848419/

Just got email from YTTV. Says deal is done and there will be no price changes. Yay!

YouTube Tv just added the following as "add ons" to its service...Screambox, Fandor, Comedy Dynamics, UP Faith & Family, and Pantaya.

I'm loving that YouTube is giving options...and most come with a free 7 day trial:

All three Hallmark channels have been added to the basic tier. You can watch them now. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/yout...hannel-lineup/

Oh wow. Sweet. We can cancel FRNDLY TV now. Wife needed that to see Hallmark. Now I don't have to worry about it!

mewmartigan

Hell yes, just cancelled Philo.

BackStJoe

Great news...I had just signed up for FRNDLY for the holiday flicks but I'm cancelling it.

Cardsfan111

E-mail just received indicates there's a free HBO Max preview November 23-28.

BackStJoe

$0.99 for 2 months for a bunch of add-on selections…I got AcornTV.

Deftones

Just set up a new Chromecast with Google TV. Had a bunch of freezes on YTTV. Apparently it is an issue right now with all devices, but not a good first impression.

Roku and Google have reached a deal to keep YouTube and YouTube TV on Roku. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/roku...u/?source=home

BackStJoe

They finally rolled out 5.1 to AppleTV…noticed it yesterday.

Deftones

Looks like they also added Game Show Network and GetTV as of yesterday.

Trevor

Booger, looks like GameShowNetwork is almost entirely new stuff. I was hoping for more old school shows with Richard Dawson and Dick Clark and such hosting.

Bacon

if you have a Roku the Roku Channel has Buzzr which has the old school stuff
anyhow I am glad to see more channels added
still missing AxsTV, Mgm HD and HDnet Movies and I’d have all the channels I miss when I had Directv

lwhy?

YouTube TV could lose ABC, ESPN, and other Disney channels on Dec. 17th. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/yout...k/?source=home
YouTube will cut prices by $15 if the channels are dropped.

And the slow suicide of linear channels continues.

Deftones

Disney has long history of getting deals done so I am not worried. Hopefully there aren't any price increases, though.
