SO, 65.00 A month no matter how many tV's in the home, correct... Or is each tv one of the 6...

Yeah, that makes sense...

These prices are crazy during difficult times!

Doesn't matter how many tv's, but it can only be active on a certain amount of screens

When Vue announced I switched over to YTTV. Cancelling at the end of this period (late July). I've come to realize that I (and others at the house) watch live TV very little with sports off and that's up in the air for fall football. I'll go HD attena, netflix and amazon prime for now.

My 5 yo hates live tv. Hates commercials. This younger generation doesn't know what they have going for them.

Viacom can get fricked. They left vue early on and vue didn't go down. Then they come to this shite and it goes up $15.

Coincidentally, I cancelled my YTTV service this morning, unaware that the price was increasing. My family watches so little TV it is no longer justified that I spend anything on live/network TV services. Without any sports likely this year and the price increase, my position is cemented. I'll call Charter back if I ever want TV services again. Volatile times...

Crap. I left ATT TV because they hiked my price up so high. Now I will be leaving YTV.

I guess it’s time to switch to Sling?

Until congress does something about the networks and their contracts, streaming is going to keep hiking their prices just like cable/Sat has been doing to pay for the channels.

It was only a matter of time before it bled over to streaming providers.

I'm not a fan of Google's political posture as is so I welcome a viable option.

What kind of a snow flake are you? Every fricking tech company is out on the West Coast and they have a liberal bent for better or worse. Last I checked there weren't any YouTube TV or Google competitors out in Georgia run by right wing execs. Get over it already.

$15 price increase this is fricking absurd

Please PSVue come back

Once the best product out there went away and they knew they were top dog this was bound to happen

Good thing my IPTV provider added additional log ins.

DVR and on demand is what is basically keeping me on YTTV

What’s so aggravating is that I watch 1 fricking show on Viacom and it’s Yellowstone. (Which I just download on Monday’s) Once it’s over in 8 weeks, I’ll be paying 15 extra dollars per month for nothing.

They should have made it an addable package instead of shoving a 30% price increase down every subscribers throat. Suddenlink in my area offers 1 gig speeds with tv bundled for $120 a month. Probably heading that route.

I just moved to NC and crunched the numbers

400meg internet + YTTV = $129

400meg + Spectrum tv 200 channels with HBO, showtime, starz NFL network = $124

I’ve been a huge cord cutter but looks like I’m done

I guess I'm in the minority...but it's still a better deal than cable to me. No wires, UI is simple, compatible across most devices which in turn makes it 100% portable.

Philo looks good but what do you do about local news and sports?
