I know I pay basically a cable bill, but I'd rather pay for what I'm watching:

$8 - Discovery

$8 - Disney (with ESPN+/Hulu Bundle)

$12 - Hulu (minus Disney subsidy) 

$15 - HBO

$15 - Netflix

$8 - Paramount

Amazon (not counting since it's part of the life style lol)

Total:  $66

But I don't have to watch many ads at all.  I also have a TV antenna for my live sports needs. I pay spectrum the $76 or whatever it is.  Ouch town, but it's the best option for us right now.

So that puts me at $142.  I can't recall the exact prices off hand, but that's pretty close I think.

How much would it cost for Cable, a DVR, multiroom service + HBO?  Over $200.  Personally, I'm super happy with my various streaming packages!  They generally work, and they also we get to watch what we want to watch on our own schedule.  Even if we had cable, we'd still want to have Netflix and Disney + for their original programming.

Say what you will, I love my HBO, and I will keep paying for it.  2-3 movies a month (as a family), several series I watch...  It's easier than trying to find decent quality torrents.

With Hulu (not live, just commercial free), I LOVE the library of on demand titles.  So long as hulu has that, we'll keep paying for it.  Being able to watch shows a day or two after they air is also super cool.

HULU is raising their prices in October.

https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/hulu-price-increase-streaming-plans-1235057717/ 

On Tuesday, Hulu began notifying subscribers that as of Oct. 8, the price of Hulu’s two on-demand plans — with ads and without commercials — will increase by $1 for both current and new subscribers. Hulu with ads will increase from $5.99 to $6.99 per month and Hulu (No Ads) will increase from $11.99 to $12.99.

Hulu+Live is raising their price by $5/month.

In this case, I'm okay with the price increase as they're adding additional value to those subscribers by including Disney+ and ESPN+ on the subscription (whether you want those services or not)

It's certainly better than a price increase for the sake of price increases, without anything better being provided to the consumer

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.

      Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
