"Notably, the TVision Live lineups are missing CBS broadcast networks, and T-Mobile does not offer HBO or HBO Max — from AT&T’s WarnerMedia — as an a-la-carte option. The carrier’s OTT services also are not available on Roku devices at this point.
Regarding the absence of CBS local stations in the product, Gary said customers are able to subscribe to CBS All Access (which will be rebranded Paramount Plus in 2021) separately from TVision. “Those who want that full CBS experience can get it for $5.99 per month, and so they have that choice,” he said. T-Mobile is looking to add Roku support for TVision in the future, Gary added, and may consider exploring bringing HBO Max into the lineup."

Interesting, but I’ll stick with Hulu Live. I do like more competition though. Makes other streaming services create more value.
Hulu has the value of original programming, but it’s missing MTV, Comedy Central, and AMC.

Re: T-Mobile TVision -- New Live TV streaming service
We had a thread about it here as well, but T-Mobile also had a $90/month starting point TV service that ran off the internet. It was formerly Layer 3 TV

I guess that service eventually merged into this one as I don't see it advertised anymore. Wow, T-Mobile was 0 for 2 on live TV services. I remember them saying this would be game changers.
