Thanks, so it's basically the same thing, just through HBO? I rarely watch anything live and didn't want to miss out watching something a couple days later.

Generally, HBO Go episodes are available when they are airing live. So if Game of Thrones starts at 9 on TV, it'll be on the app at 9. Sometimes I've seen it not get posted until 10 or so, but for the most part they are right on time.Thanks, so it's basically the same thing, just through HBO?

I've used HBO Go and it worked nicely, but because of this dumb Dish merger issue, I can't access it anymore. I wanted to get HBO for game of thrones, but wouldn't mind watching 3rd season of True Detective airing now. Google will give you $15 play credit (which I'd use and watch some movies) if you sign up for HBO NOW through them this week. Just trying to weigh my options and see if it's worth getting $15 through google by getting this now.Generally, HBO Go episodes are available when they are airing live.

Anyone here have Blink XT wireless cameras at home? It's a lithium battery powered 'motion' camera that I'm considering instead of a Ring, solely because it has free cloud storage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZWHBJ4

Internet-only customers at Comcast have a new option for TV starting next week. Comcast today announced Xfinity Flex, a streaming platform that’s only for internet customers as an add-on.
Details for Infinity Flex are still becoming available, but the basics so far are that it costs $5/mo. When you sign-up, you get a 4K HDR-ready streaming box and Xfinity voice-remote, access to “more than 10,000” free movies and shows, and an integrated guide.
The channel or service line-up includes ESPN3, Xumo, Pluto, Tubi TV, Cheddar, and YouTube. You’ll also be able to access your Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and Showtime subscriptions too. Music services like Pandora, iHearRadio, and XITE will be there for those with a need for tunes.

I'm getting pretty tired of paying over $200/month for AT&T/DirecTV. I'm kind of hoping this pissing match they have going with Comedy Central and the other 22 channels actually goes through so I can muster up enough ill will to call and cancel.

Ok, after 2 hours of corporate speak:
Disney+ launches November 12 in the United States
$6.99 per month, $69.99 per year.
The Mandalorian will be available at launch.
That's very competitive pricing...I figured $10 at least per month.

Netflix, prime, criterion channel, and Disney plus. That should do it for me.

It also includes all of the Simpsons episodes...if I read that correctly.
I wonder if that means old Brooklyn 99 and other FX/Fox programming?
And Disney also owns National Geographic TV and Films...so Cosmos, Free Solo, etc. will be on there. And a new science show with Jeff Goldblum...

I've been trying to get TV set up under my back deck for 3 weeks now. The first one arrived broken so I had to mess around with ordering something new and getting the damaged one picked up. Finally received the new TV Tuesday. I didn't want to spend a ton so I went with a TCL 6 series, 55 inch. I only turned it on to make sure it worked and had to go through some registration menus, and the picture quality looked surprisingly good.
Tonight I strung speaker wire and hung the speakers. Tomorrow the mount for the TV should arrive and I can see if things actually work. I do still need to build some sort of cabinet for the receiver and blu ray player. Right now they're on a metal rack and covered with a trap which looks so white trash (which I am but...)

Is there a website that allows for comparing a la carte services to multi-channel offerings in terms of content? We still subscribe to PS Vue, and I've been wondering if there's a magic combination of Hulu, Netflix, etc that gets us all the same content at a better price. Vue isn't nearly as expensive as DirecTV was, but I'm just curious as to what other OTT option there might be.

I'm impressed. I'm holding onto my Panasonic plasma like grim death and always figured I'd have to go with an OLED when it bit the dust. Now I'm not so sure.

How you liking Vue? Does it have commercials?Is there a website that allows for comparing a la carte services to multi-channel offerings in terms of content?

There are some restrictions for content on mobile devices that are out of Sony's control. Like, when I first started there you couldn't stream NFL games on your local channel over a mobile device because of an exclusive deal with Verizon (which actually may have been relaxed last season, I forget). Certain entire networks can't be streamed on mobile, because that particular network has its own app and they want to drive viewers there (iirc some of the cable news networks did this, I think HBO did, etc).
They lost BeIN Sports right after I started there (bye bye FC Barcelona matches), and they've never had NHL Network. Add that to some spotty local channel availability and the biggest drawback of the service is somewhat limited channel availability. It's also tied to your PSN account and billed through the associated Wallet, so if you jump in you may want to create a dedicated Vue ID in case you run into some kind of shenanigans with your main gaming ID. The mitigating factor here is some of the add-on channels (HBO, Shotime, etc) have discounts if you're a PS+ subscriber.
tl;dr - I worked on the product, the company fired me, we get free cable with our temp housing, and I'm still choosing to pay around $100/mo for Vue.

I feel bad. Your spoiler meant that I don't have to read the rest. Thanks tho.

BeIN was dropped by pretty much everyone (**** Barca, BTW). All of this is creating a new problem of 'which service(s) should I subscribe to?' We went from the cable companies having everything, to adding something like Netflix, to now Netflix, Hulu, Vue, etc.Source of the post They lost BeIN Sports
I'm curious to know what others are doing and paying for their entire TV solution. I only use FiOS, and pay $153/month for everything (including gigabit internet).

I’m paying $59.99 for fios internet only 100/100.
I’m on the directvnow grandfathered go big with HBO for $45 plus 7% sales tax. No sales tax on my fios.
Next month my directvnow is going up $10...still the best deal for the OTT tv, but the gap is getting narrow.
YouTube TV just announced a price hike too.
Next month my tv & internet will be $118.
That doesn’t include my yearly prime membership...we use my parent Netflix login, they have the 4K 4 simultaneous streams plan.

I don't include my Prime membership in any of this because I view Prime video content as a bonus.
