Netflix to $19.99/month (premium service) as of April 19

[larsIU]

I won't notice it to be honest. I believe it's a $4/month increase.

But, if I were to add up all of my streaming services....ok I'll do it.

Netflix - $19.99
Disney/Hulu/ESPN - $12.99
BTN - (don't @ me, I keep forgetting to turn if off) $9.99
HBOMax - $19.99
Amazon Prime - technically nothing but they note it's $8.99 w/o the regular Prime membership


total $71.95/month. Still cheaper than cable.

Shit, I still have cable.

Something's gotta give man.

It's not bad. What frustrates me are when services lose channels. I loved Fubo. Now Bein Sports lost La Liga so it's gone. EPl and champions bounced around to where I had to buy Paramount and Peacock. History channel, which is my favorite, is gone, along with a host of others. I don't think it even has cnn anymore. I've played musical chairs with it YouTube Tv and another I can't think of. That's what's annoying.

So the money isn't bad, chasing channels is.

We have Hulu as our "cable" tv, I think it is now $70. I get all my local channels (but WISH 8 out of Indy), most the cable channels (no Weather, no BBCA) and we get Disney+ with it. We have Netflix, HBO Max at $10, and Paramount (currently a free trial will be $5). I probably won't keep Paramount past Picard. HBO will switch back to Apple whenever Ted Lasso comes back. My goal has been Netflix and one premium channel that rotates depending on what is showing.

Oh, I have Prime but I don't count it as I have it for the shipping.

LOL

The BTN subscription is still unforgiveable. Even having it for one month to watch early basketball games is questionable. But it's March.

So far Youtube TV has been decent, but I'm expecting prices to rise again. Netflix is on its last leg. Rewatching Seinfeld is probably the only thing it has going for it at the moment.

I need to tattoo a reminder to get rid of it this month. Memento style

You literally only need to send them an email. (At least that's what a friend told me when he dumped it in late December.)

Hulu Live has Paramount already.

Hulu live is the one I couldn't think of. Hulu Live, YouTube Tv, and Fubo I've bounced from to the others chasing channels

Hmm, that raises the question of why I signed up for a free account. I will be sure to cancel it.

 

[Ohio Guy]

I have YouTubeTV as my 'cable' and have Disney+, Netflix, Peacock that I pay for. I have Amazon Prime too. HBO Max comes as part of my AT&T phone package. I log onto Bally Sports through a friend's account to watch local/regional basketball and baseball games.

We have DirecTV (with HBO and sports tier), Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple+, and maybe one more I can't remember. The other day wife asks "do we have Paramount?"

Brother-in-law works for Spectrum (cable TV). One of his perks he gets is free cable, with every premium channel. Years ago his job included dealing with people whose cable had been shut-off. He would get calls from other employees who had their free cable shut-off. Why? Because the porn channels were not included in the perk, and they hadn't paid their porn bill - the bill their employer sent them for watching porn.
