That’s what’s going to happen...if we get rid of cable, we’re going to have to pay for every channel we want and it’s going to end up costing a lot more than what people complain about paying for cable. I want ABC ($10), I want CBS ($10), I want NBC ($10), I want ESPN for games ($10), I want AMC ($10)...and on and on and on. But we cut the cord by God.Love yttv, don't love this increase. I'm now paying more combined for internet and streaming then I was when I just had internet and cable. This whole cord cutting has completely backfired. Ha

I'm going back and forth about cutting the cord like everyone else. But doing what you're inferring by just getting an antenna for the regular over the Airways channels has been enough of a savings that I still go with cable. Didn't need a box for every TV Plus some of the regular antennas you can buy have some apps on them that you can get Netflix or YouTube.Get an antenna on a different input and cut that cost $30 a month
An antenna is not going to get a lot of the channels, so you’ll have to pay for those....then pay for Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBO, etc. In the end, cutting the cord won’t save that much money especially if a lot of people do it. Someone is going to get paid.Get an antenna on a different input and cut that cost $30 a month

Just read the email. They added 5/6 channels and raised price 30%. I’m pissed off big time. I just dropped directv to save money. Now they are nearly the same cost, if not more. Looks like I’ll be shopping around. Only went with YouTube fir BigTen network. Ugh!!!
Three weeks ago, after 25+ years with DTV, I switched to YTTV. DTV kept playing pricing games.
We have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN and Prime. Now I plan on dropping YTTV and maybe just go to an antenna for locals. What do you do for DVR for the locals?
Mine came in my regular account. I may look into Hulu though because of the 14 channels they are adding....the only one I care for is Comedy Central. The rest are ones that I basically wouldn't watch, but it is still $100 cheaper than what I was paying for Direct TV with thunderstorm outages.I heard about the YTTV price increase here first and was confused why I hadn’t received the announcement. The announcement email sent to my Gmail account was put in the Spam folder. I wonder (just a little) if they were trying to “hide” the message from those who don’t pay close attention.
Man, I love the unlimited DVR on all TV's on YTTV - that is going to be hard for me to give up - plus I watch 4 to 5 hours of CNBC everyday and I cannot get that anywhere else.
Not sure but the wife also has two or 3 channels she loves like TLC, Food and BravoNBC is launching Peacock, can you get your fix there?

I don't believe so, but good suggestion.Speaking of YTTV. Is there a way to get the clock on the live guide? I’m discovering the only thing I miss about Comcast this ost month has been the clock on the dvr box. . I’ll probably just get a cheap clock to out in the space the big box used to be.
Or just figure out what you want and pay for it....it’s a lot easier.I am thinking the best way to go (excluding the issue with live sports if you want to watch them) is to essentially go through a rotation of the 'channel's'. So go with Netflix, Amazon Prime and CBS all access for 3-4 months and binge watch what you want and then cancel. Then get Peacock (the new NBC on line like CBS access), Disney, and HBO for 3-4 months and watch what they have on, and so forth. Such that by the time you come back around to what you originally started with it is 12-18 months later and those channels have added some new stuff to watch or catch what you didn't watch the last time. Not to mention the constant 'free' trials these networks have (ie..right now History Vault is free for until July 5 so I am watching Sons of Liberty and a couple of other random things that are going to take up the weekend and paused the watching of other channels). I think that is the best way to keep the pricing down to a reasonable amount yet catch all the shows you want to watch.
Watching games in a bar sucks especially if you don’t live in PSU country and no one else watches the game. I’ll pay whatever it takes to be able to watch all the games from the comfort of my own home.Youtube TV and Fubo TV are in the same price increase death spiral as cable TV.
The networks keep demanding higher fees, but as prices increase, more people drop out and go with less expensive alternatives. So the pool of people paying shrinks, therefore the price paid by each household has to increase in order to pay the network fees, That's why YouTube TV has gone from $34 a month to $64 a month in about 3 years.
If all you care about is Penn State football, remember you get the vast majority of games -- and the best games -- on broadcast networks, which you can watch for free with an antenna.
The only games you need a cable bundle for are the ones on BTN and ESPN -- i.e. weak early season games and Indiana/Rutgers type games.
So watch those at a bar (bars will have outdoor distanced viewing areas). Or don't watch them at all and just listen to the radio.
But if you want to stop the incessant price increases for sports programming, the only way is to stop paying for it.
The moment BTN can make more money with a stand-alone streaming service than it gets from cable bundles, then BTN will follow HBO and go standalone. I don't mind paying a hefty fee to BTN (even if it's $20 a month). But I'll be damned if I pay $64 a month and be supporting ESPN and Fox News and 200 channels I'll ever watch.
