Sorry, it was semi-scarcastic... though I bet it will be more than $30 a month. These services are good at offering a low cost to obtain customers and then once you're settled in, they start raising it. When I got YouTubeTV, it was $35 a month, now it's double that.

Also, if do end up restricting it so you can only watch it inside you home, that would really stink. YouTube TV allows you to share with 4 other people.

And you can watch on your phone or computer or fire stick anywhere you go. Whenever I stay at a hotel, I unplug their TV provider and plug in my firestick. Then I can watch all the streaming services including YouTube TV and NBA League Pass which I can watch with DVR capabilities. SOME fancy hotels have TVs with a mirror function but my firestick makes things much easier.

Curious if you watch everything LIVE. My wife and I watch NOTHING LIVE. Use the hell out of our DirecTV DVR.

Curious if you watch anything DIE. My wife and I watch EVERYTHING DIE. Use the hell out of our DWM C-93 Semiautomatic.

Statement From Fubo Regarding Sports Streaming JV
February 7, 2024

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, issued the following statement today:

The recent announcement regarding the collaboration between Fox, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery to introduce a sports-only streaming service has undoubtedly captured our attention. Fubo has consistently championed the principle of consumer choice and we're not surprised more sports streaming options are becoming available. We have already seen that a consortium born of historical competitors is a difficult undertaking, and streaming joint ventures rarely work. As well, we know sports-only programming is highly challenged.

Consumers have demonstrated that they want an aggregated sports, news and entertainment package differentiated by a quality product experience. This is what Fubo delivers. We have also continuously pushed the boundaries of live TV streaming with market-first features like 4K, multi viewing and AI products like our just-launched Instant Headlines.

The underlying motives and implication of this joint venture also command our scrutiny. Every consumer in America should be concerned about the intent behind this joint venture and its impact on fair market competition. This joint venture spotlights a concerning trend where an alliance with significant market share, reportedly controlling 60-85% of all sports content, could dictate market terms in a manner that may not serve the broader interests of consumers.

We believe our robust programming and quality product experience cannot be duplicated by what is likely to emerge from this joint venture.

Sounds like more than a few industry insiders don't think this venture will ever even get off the ground. Getting three major players to come together and agree on anything, especially when one has so much more inventory (Disney) just seems like a recipe for disaster. I do think bundling and something looking like cable is inevitable but I really doubt this venture is going to be it.

Probably just a threat to get cable to pay up.

Either way, it doesn't matter, if the price isn't reasonable...

So, does that mean that a person could watch all Blazer games even if in Oregon? Wht about NFL games?

 

[Hoopguru]

As a society we've been conditioned to pay for services. And profit margins as a rule are higher for service than wholegoods where margins are usually lower. Like any company that measures theie cost of doing business as percent of sales consumers should measure their cost of total entertainment as a percentage of net mthly income.

Cable was bad. We got a glimpse of something wonderful and then corporate greed took over and now streaming is just as bad as cable.

Everything will always be as bad as the government will let it be because profits are incompatible with human dignity.
