I saw this coming a while ago but everyone was like "EVERYTHING'S FINE".

Pfft.

Cable is cheaper than streaming if you have competition and don't mind switching every year.

I pay for one of those super Verizon packages with a gigabit connection for $90 with all the equipment. It's $70 alone just for internet.

It goes up to $200 in December, but then I'll just switch to Optimum for a year.

Why do you have such a low opinion of local news?

And why do you say advertising ruins everything irrevocably? I can watch ads on TV and not melt down about it.

Yeah but streaming is contract free so you can just cycle various services.

Should I cancel cable and pay for Hulu + Live TV?

here they've basically merged "cable"+streaming channels like HBO into one package... so with internet you have access to all the live TV stuff and can stream movies/TV shows.

don't you guys have that? of course, it costs more but still less than having the two separately.

How much live TV do you watch?

I would also consider what the cost is to purchase episodes of shows you watch on cable vs the cost of the cable subscription. Buying individual episodes after they air might be cheaper if you're only watching a few shows a month.

A fair bit, actually. I mostly subscribe for my dad's sake but as a result I do watch some stuff on broadcast TV.

When my mom was living with me I convinced her to drop DirecTV, and I got a rooftop antenna which gives us nearly 40 channels.

they already have Disney Plus Plus. It comes with Hulu and ESPN. Although espn is pointless with no games being played anymore. Itll just be 24/7 footage of empty stadiums

I really hate streaming my content. What I watch is either sports or it's recorded/ on demand. There really isn't a point in Hulu unless I wanna watch older shows that I've already seen a million times anyway.

Plus I only pay like 70 a month for cable and internet bundled.

I cut cable because I don't watch TV. Streaming is better anyway. It has no commercials and you watch what you want when you want for as long as you feel like.

Hulu live TV has sports, and no contract/increases in bills. Me and my wife subscribed for the NFL season and unsubscribed recently to save lots of money. We'll get it back in September.

My Hulu with Live TV bill was increased in December. How did yours not increase?
