That's actually what I ended up with on YTTV, but once I made the switch, I got grandfathered in at the $35 price, so it will take some other incentive to go back to paying $45/mo for Vue.
This demands a verifiable and convincing argument rather than merely setting fire to a straw man.
Fact, people are rapidly dropping cable/satellite and turning to streaming . Fact. Streaming has a higher customer satisfaction than cable/satellite.
Source?
This needs a source as well. Given the market shares, would those satisfaction numbers scale to 10 times the number of subscribers?
How much of the satisfaction is tempered by the knowledge that they're saving lots of money in the building stages of these services as they bleed money to gain market share?
You can't be that ignorant. There is something called Google . I guess you are also hanging on to 8 track tapes, wating for a comback.
Cable and satellite TV are in crisis as cord-cutting speeds up again in 2017
You need to be careful about quoting re-bloggers such as Fierce Cable. They don't often originate the information that they offer and it occasionally contradicts itself or is misinterpreted in the process of trying to make it look distinct from the source.
Relative numbers are pretty useless without context. That DIRECTV and DISH lost more customers than YTTV, PSVue and DIRECTV Now have combined shows that not all of those customers are headed for those services.
Finally, any information source that doesn't include a date should be summarily tossed. Articles such as the one that you quoted should be discounted as stale as the information is 50 days old. A more recent report from the same source (Leichtman Research) indicates that the slide in 2018 isn't looking as bad as that of 2017 by percentage. DIRECTV is bleeding profusely, but they're also among the most expensive services out there and they aren't exactly tearing it up with programming and hardware innovation.
State facts and quote reliable sources. It’s not polite to call other forum members names either.
Somebody is gulping the OTT Kool-Aide and flushing the important electrolytes from their brain.
You made a specious statement and labeled it as fact but offered only dated evidence to back up half of the equation (that Big Pay TV is losing customers -- DUH) without any evidence that OTT is picking up those customers. Your "facts" are not well supported by your evidence.
That's probably not a reasonable interpretation. Maybe they've reached a point where they need to step back and figure out where they're going from here or whether it is worth the effort to move forward. Not everything that Google has undertaken has turned to gold pressed latinum. Remember Glass, Buzz, Picasa, Google+ and Google TV???.
Guys, please do not let the discussion turn personal with responses.
Thank you.

Has anyone else been watching the YouTube Original "Impulse"? I'm on episode five and so far, so good. Not your typical teen-with-powers TV show. I mean, yes the premise is typical. But it's so much more. I highly recommend at least checking out the first couple of episodes. The show is by Doug Liman (Bourne Identity), who directs the first episode. Also, lots of familiar faces among the supporting cast.
Yea after checking I saw that I was able to use the PBS app and then today I subscribed to YoutubeTV/w Starz and Philo.
Apparently everyone is getting a free week added to their service to make up for the outage during the World Cup this week. In almost two years as a sub, I don't recall PS Vue ever doing anything like that. This just appeared in my Gmail inbox under the Social tab:
