cutting the cord / streaming tv thread

Well, Youtube tv is jacking their price. Been on for a good while but am about to tell them to pound sand. How have the other services evolved in the last few years? We have basic Hulu and thinking about going full bore with them. How are the prices?

I was on the cord-cutting path a couple years back but ultimately was able to get my cable bill down to the point that it no longer made financial sense to go to streaming. So I'm still on cable here and gotta say I love it. I also subscribed to Netflicks and ESPN+ so I do stream but my main gig is just through cable.

I'm also an Amazon Prime member so get that with streaming.

My last cable bill came to $164/month and that includes both TV and Internet....plus all their taxes and fees BS.

My cable provider is Spectrum.

This probably doesn't help with your situation, but at least you got a reply...

Internet streaming services will end up being the same prices as the cable and satellite services were when millions decided to switch. It is all cyclical and now the streaming services have had an enormous amount of new customers which equates to hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue. So, in turn, companies like MLB, ESPN, CBS, etc. begin wanting a bigger cut so they're charging these streaming services more money to carry their product. It'll get to the point where cable services will be able to offer what streaming services were able to offer when they were trying to break-into the market.

I have always thought that streaming prices would eventually rise to the point that they criss crossed cable. You Tube has what mostly aligns with what we watch, but I am thinking about cutting back on TV in general. We have basic Hulu to watch some of their shows, but I have recently realized that they have all three of the major network shows and many others. (except deep programing in sports). They don't have the local weather on their basic service, but that comes in by phone if needed.

A colleague told me about Cue Streaming for 60 bucks a month yesterday. Anyone have any experience with that service?
