I can't believe the deals i got on black friday.

12 months of Hulu for $1/month.
6 months HBOMax for $3/month.
3 months Paramount+ for $3/month.

Should have started a thread about this a week ago to save everybody $$ but keep an eye out next year.

I get Paramount Plus anyway for soccer but the others I just occasionally will get one month and cancel. At that price no problem stacking up a bunch of them. I was already subscribed and they still gave me the deal...only $9 in my pocket but something for just logging into my acct and clicking a button.

Youtube TV and espn+ only for football and basketball season and Prime. I cancel youtube tv May through most of August I I justify that pays for Prime and use the free ROKU channels. Everything else is on the web any way. (local news weather and 1000s of reruns and b movies for the 0 to 3 hours a day we watch TV).

For older movies some of the free streaming services have a much better selection anyway that turns over faster than Max/Netflix/Hulu/D+ movie selection. They have have ads but they are 60-90 second adds once a half hour, not like the old days watching a movie on TNT with an hour of ads for two hours of movie.

Whenever I want to watch an older movie that I haven't seen or rewatch a favorite, I'll look up where it's streaming it will be more likely to be somewhere free than a pay streaming service. There's also Kanopy where you can watch almost every classic or critically acclaimed movie with any public library card too.

I use DirecTV Stream. When HuluLive and YouTube TV dropped what was then the regional FSN's, DirecTV Stream was the only streaming service to offer the channels (I'm a Royals fan and MLB is my nightly reality show).

Yes DirecTV Stream costs more than say YouTube TV, but the latter doesn't carry say Newsmax and Cooking Channel which I both like.
A Husker fan still here!

ESPN+ integrates nicely with Hulu. I use fubo to get roots sports out here.

I have a very broad question for you out there w experience in cutting the cord. Is there an obvious choice between YouTube TV, Hulu or Philo?

Side note: my independent subscriptions for ESPN+ ($110 annually) and Disney+ ($140 annually both expire/auto renew within 2 weeks of each other Dec 27 & Jan 11.

I obviously thought a bundle of those 2 with Hulu would be the way to go; however it appears that is still really pricey. I was thinking of keeping those two independent and going w YouTube tv due to the channels that are desired and overall cost.

Channels or family of channels of interest are Nick Jr, Fox sports family, ESPN family and we have a few others.


Many, many thanks in advance!!!

It was so much easier to watch tv when my father asked me to change the channel and I would stand up and rotate the dial to the next channel…..
Does anyone have any experience with the 4th generation Tablo conversion box?

Were these for the ad supported tier or ad-free?
