Youtube TV

[JackDidley]

Just announced a $10/month price increase. $82.99 starting January. If it was not for motorsports I would not need it but I have too much time on my hands so I will pay just so I can watch racing. I looked and cant find a cheaper option.

I'm not a paying subscriber....but trying to watch an occasional video on their website is tiring. Commercials pop-up way too often. That's my gripe.

$82 does seem high.

[JackDidley]

Not Youtube, I dont pay for that. Youtube TV is entirely different. Its like cable TV.

[stevej37]

I always get an ad for Youtube tv when I first start a video on Youtube.
That's the one you mean?

[wdfifteen]

Yes.
We got the notice too. Time to shop for streaming services again. With all the marketing wisdom of their mothership you would think that YouTube and the totally different product, YouTube TV could have come up with more distinctive names and logos.

Yes. Its wireless TV streaming. A couple hundred stations nobody watches and the few that I need for racing and football. And get an adblocker so you dont have to watch those ads on YT.

[stevej37]

Thanks....I never paid much attention to their ads.

I do have adblocker, but it doesn't seem to work on Youtube...I'll check it to see if it's still on.

You need a different adblocker for YT. Just do a specific search.

I have the same problem with commercials. Let us know what you find.

We pay $91 per month for internet only, so I can’t see paying that much for YouTube tv on top. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Mine is just called Adblocker for Youtube. I am running Linux so that may make a difference. I have Prime and a modded Firestick on top of YTTV. My internet is $55/month + The 82.99 for YTTV. Still better than what I was paying Spectrum but still too much. I did some shopping on the net today but did not find a better deal. The $55 for internet is supposed to be a lifetime price.

[stevej37]

^^^ Thanks...I'll check that out.

Mine is AdblockPlus and it is free...might be time to upgrade for me.

[JackDidley]

I have Adblocker Ultimate and Adblocker for YT. Both free.

[stevej37]

^^^ Thanks...that's on my list of things to do tomorrow...lol

[Bill Douglas]

They are always saying "First month free." Yup... This is the reason why.

Got something from Sling a few weeks ago. I think they're bumping by $5

Added Adblock for YouTube this morning....works great...Thanks!

Watched ItchyBoots newest episode. She didn't seem too upset with her loss on that episode.
Hopefully she makes enough to cover stuff like that.

I dont think $$$$ is an issue and she always seems to end up getting to her destination. She went from Turkey to Iraq. I think she needs to get out of there. A war could break out at any time and I would hate to see her caught up in it.

Was $49 a month when I started. I share the cost with a good friend, so increase is not a deal breaker....Better than the $124/mo I was paying Dish when I dumped them about 3 years ago. I like the recording feature on UtubeTv....

I too got the $10 a month price increase notice. But, YouTube TV carries all of the sports channels including Big Ten network.

That's about what I would want to get if I switched over.
What's the approx monthly on that?
