Cutting the Cord Next Part

[qtlaw]

Switched to Hulu Live about six months ago. It was pretty good certainly better than paying 250 a month for satellite TV. However, Hulu has been really funky to use in their interface and crashing at times. So switch to YouTube TV yesterday and oh my gosh, it’s so much better. Hope your experience has been better than mine.

YouTube TV is really really good

Love YouTube TV. The limitless DVR is particularly great.

Still trying to figure out how we ended up with a channel that only plays "Portlandia," but whatever.

Yeah that endless DVR where you don’t have to plan to record every show just pick “NBA” and get every game with no worry about whether you recorded enough time is so nice.

Plus stream is definitely more stable than Hulu.

I'm thinking about giving YouTube a try. When I cut the cord and went to Hulu Live, I was saving a ton, but it has gone up $10 a year like clockwork.
I could personally do without it. I haven't turned the TV on in a week.

Have had YouTube for about a year and love and will echo the endless DVR.

I haven’t had YT TV for a few years but it was excellent. But they kept jacking their prices which is when I left.

My YouTube TV goes dark late this month and will remain so until the start of college football. If it wasn’t so easy to start and stop I would probably go back to cable at this point, as bundling with my internet can’t be any more expensive and might even be cheaper each month. You’d think there had been a tariff on TV shows the last five years.

Same here. Pause happens next week and I'll resume in late August. I watch more regular YouTube content or cycling on FloBikes than I do YouTube TV throughout the year, but gotta have it for football and basketball seasons.

Just got an email from YouTubeTV warning (pretty much predicting) that Fox channels will be gone starting on Wednesday. No Fox NFL? We shall see.

Don't threaten me with a good time, YouTube TV! Can you just drop Fox Everything and cut my monthly charge by $10 instead?

In order to provide you with the best in live sports, news, and entertainment, YouTube TV enters into partnerships with content providers like Fox. Our current agreement with Fox is approaching its renewal date, and we are in active negotiations to continue carrying their content. Our priority is to reach a deal that's fair for both sides, as well as our subscribers.
‌
We want to be transparent about these discussions: if we are unable to reach an agreement with Fox by August 27, 2025, their content may become unavailable. If this happens, this will impact channels like the Fox Broadcast Network, Fox News, and Fox Sports, as well as any Library recordings you have from these channels.
‌
We know how frustrating it is to lose channels, which is why it's our goal to keep Fox on YouTube TV. We're committed to continuing to work with Fox to reach an agreement, but if their content becomes unavailable for an extended period of time, we'll offer our subscribers a $10 credit.
‌
If Fox becomes unavailable, you can continue to watch their sports, news, and shows by signing up for Fox One. For more information on the impact to our Spanish Plus, 4K, Sports Plus, and Fox Nation add-ons, please visit our Help Center.
‌
We hope YouTube TV continues to be your service of choice, but we understand some of our members may want to cancel their subscriptions. As always, family managers have the ability to pause or cancel anytime.
‌
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to advocate on behalf of our subscribers and work towards an agreement with Fox. We will continue to update our Help Center with the latest. As always, we sincerely appreciate your YouTube TV membership.
‌
Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team​

Forget the NFL (two weeks out). Texas-Ohio State on Saturday.

They send that out so that you will send an email or whatever to Fox and say hey, settle with YouTube.

My brief email -- "Bye, Felicia"

Cannot think of a single thing I watch on Fox.
