Harrrrrrr!!

Will be interesting to see the price. I've always hated the user interface for ESPN+, so maybe this will improve on that.

Does this mean ESPN+ is going away? Or is this new service consolidating various sports streamers and putting them in one "app"?

It's basically like if the utility companies had new competitor's that said 'Hey, you're playing $150 for electricity, we'll provide you electricity for $50! You don't need a hard wire, we'll broadcast the electricity to each light and appliance!" And then a couple of years later saying now your $50 does not include power for your hair dryer, dishwasher, electric stove etc, it's only for light bulbs and everything else will be an additional $15 a month for each appliance. So, basically back to $150.

For us the Disney+ sub is the best value with Hulu, ESPN, and Disney stuff.

Yeah, nothing like clicking the wrong search function and being redirected to espn.com.

The Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle is the best streaming value out there. An added bonus is never having to use the ESPN+ interface since all ESPN+ content is available through the Hulu interface.

I liked it, but switched back to YoutubeTV because I got more buffering from Hulu TV weekly than I had from YTTV the entire couple years I had it.

No buffering issues here. Your ISP was probably messing with you!

This is getting impossible to keep track of.

To add, I have the Disney bundle and Max. I’ve gotten my NBA and NHL content through those apps and OTA, otherwise it’s sailing the high seas.

Football season I’ll have to see what this looks like, at this point I just kind of hope I can get it aggregated under Hulu.

That’s just Hulu, not Hulu with live tv.

Whatever it was, every single other thing I ran was smooth and pretty much flawless during the same time period (on multiple platforms).

We had the same experience. Hulu would buffer like crazy, YouTubeTV, netflix, HBO all worked fine

Hulu has a surprising amount of decent stuff. I got a $12 for a year on Black Friday and kind of shocked I watch it as much as Max.

Yeah, I've had Hulu for years and have never had any issues with buffering. Only issue I encounter is occasionally (once a month maybe) the audio and video get out of sync and I have to restart my Roku. That could be a hardware issue, but it only happens in the Hulu app.

 

[MJ271]

Maybe I'm understanding wrong, but this specific deal doesn't sound like something additional that anyone would have to buy to see their favorite teams (at least as of right now). It seems more like an alternative sports-only option to other live-streaming services. Basically, if all you care about is live sports, rather than buying YouTubeTV, Hulu Live, Sling, or others, Venu might be a possible replacement.

I accidently picked a year subscription and to cancel it I had to call customer service, do a deep dive into my Droid and convert it to dark mode in order to find some app to cancel.

It was pretty amazing.

 

[KnappShack]

Whoever happened to that streaming box people were getting at the Fair?

Everything included with no monthly charge.

Basically a pirate platform.

Someone should really bundle all these streamers together under one interface. I can't think of a clever name for it, but some marketing dude will
