My wife just upgraded her phone, and by moving to a more current T-Mobile plan it should cover our Netflix and I think Apple+ subscriptions... So that's nice.

I still use Hulu. I got rid of Netflix, wasn't watching it much, plus it kept crashing my TCL Roku television. I should probably try Youtube TV at some point, but inertia has kept me from it.
We us a ridicoulous number of streaming services.  Finally got the wife to cancel YoutubeTV until Football season.  Need the NFL Sunday ticket

I don't know how much I have in total, I'm not paying for anything myself.  I asked for Netflix for last Christmas, but I rarely see anything there I watch more than 3 minutes.    Our "cable" is DirecTV and now comes in via "cable", our Internet connection, which I gather is fiber optic now, maybe.  So, no more outages due to a cloud that drifts pass, it seems to be reliably on.

"We" are incredibly dependent on Internet access in our lives now.

I got the same email. Gotta start looking at whether I want to try to find an alternate to Hulu+LiveTV.

I believe that's still less expensive than YTTV plus Hulu/Disney+/ESPN package (or Hulu/Disney+/Max).


I don't really know how Hulu Live compares to YTTV as far as offerings and amenities goes.

Fiber internet and TV are included in our HOA now, so I don't know that cost. We have to use Firesticks for the TV with the service we have. The company is Broadstar but they buy from Xfinity. Broadstar specifically deals with HOA's, so I like it.

Yeah, our Internet and TV is part of the HOA.  They changed it recently from sat to Internet and we lost a few channels, but then they upgraded us to a higher package and got them back.

My wife usually attends the HOA monthly meetings, I just scan the summary after.  The board folks seem OK mostly, but bored.

Amazing how Youtube Tv used to be such a great deal and hope of the future where you wouldn't have a ridiculous cable bill just to have 300 channels you don't need and don't have to worry about cancellation threats.. now suddenly it's over $100+ per month and same BS negotiation threats of every other cable company i've had in history.
