It Just Costs More!

Recommended Posts

 

I don't know? Perhaps $30 a month all in is 'fair and reasonable?'

 

If I can't record, I don't want to cut the cord.

Depends on what the consumer signs up for.  When I had Comcast cable, I was locked into a TWO year contract.  I could opt out anytime, but I would not receive a refund.  I now have YouTube TV and I have most of the bells and whistles for sport events.  And it's not a contract. I pay monthly and can cancel anytime.  And a perk with YouTube, I have unlimited recording options.

30 dollars for one stand-alone is higher than the Hulu+Disney+ESPN+ bundle by ten dollars. It's more expensive than Sling, Paramount, Max, Netflix. Stand alone subscriptions are nice because you can pick and choose what you want, but ESPN alone isn't worth half of what you would be paying for your basic traditional cable subscription.

 

Most of the sports they show are pretty low quality grade imo. I'm not paying that much for the CFP Playoff and some select SEC or ACC games in the Fall. I'd just pay the 70 to satellite or cable and get Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS and ESPN.

I love YouTube TV…….my favorite feature is Key Plays. Easy to catch up on several games on a busy weekend and watch the end at crunch time.

In my world (and I cut the cord years ago), this only has meaning if/when it becomes the only way to get ESPN.
