The la carte TV dream died before it ever got off the ground

So basically, if you go Hulu Live to save the money, you can't fast forward commercials?? And if you add that feature, it's a penny cheaper than Youtube, only with fewer streams and less channels?

Thanks for this. I was definitely thinking about going with Hulu but didn't realize you couldn't skip commercials with the $55 price.

Not that anybody is really considering it I priced Sling Orange + Blue package and found that it was $45 for the combo package + $10 for the sports package (SEC Network) + $5 for a 50-hour cloud DVR = $60/month. Sling is the only provider that offers AXS TV which is something an old classic rock fan would enjoy, but otherwise YouTube with it's unlimited DVR would be a push at only an additional 5$/month.

Hate to admit it, but YouTube did their research and seems to have priced it at the current market value.

It feels like nobody mentions this, but YouTube's not actually unlimited DVR. It delete any and all recordings after 9 months.

True, but I bet most people watch through shows they actually watch on DVR before that happens. If it gets deleted, did you really want to watch it in the first place? Maybe, maybe not. I think the 9 month thing probably fits 90+% of consumers.

I wouldn't have even noticed but football games recordings were a big draw to me. For those to go away before the next season even ended was a surprise.

I have to say that I don't care at all about DVR these days. Is there really anything that I can't just stream on demand?

Also to that point, aren't most old football games on YouTube nowadays anyways?

Or give me food network for $5
I would pay 5 dollars each for Hallmark, Bravo, Food TV, Cooking Channel, and A&E.

It would be perfect for me

It'd be perfect for everyone. Market forces don't agree however.
