FWIW: My annual plan will renew after the price increase, so I downgraded to the Standard ad-free plan upon renewal.

Gotta pay the marketing folks for that expensive name change to HBO Max.

Yeah, the reporting on this is all over the place.

Just got an email:

More details trickling out: https://www.jalopnik.com/1999629/apple-signs-exclusive-deal-broadcast-formula-1-in-us/

If I read this correctly, it includes F1TV Premium, so you can theoretically use the live broadcast trick-play via the F1TV app, assuming they don't disable it for US ATV subscribers: Edit: later reporting makes it seem like the Premium content will be in the ATV app.

Did you try them on a different HDMI port or a different TV?

I assume this is on the Android streaming boxes? https://www.theverge.com/news/798174/directv-glance-ai-shoppable-screensavers

The newer remote still has touch functionality, but you can turn it off. This works 99% of the time, until you come across an app that requires it for certain functions, such as changing the audio feed on F1TV. I just use my iPhone for the remote in those situations. I still like Roku a lot...

I didn't even know I had access to this thing I am now losing. They did a terrible job of promoting it -- not that I am interested in watching cable news.

I get it. My parents in their 80s didn't really want to switch from Spectrum Cable to YTTV, but the 45% cost savings (at the time) made it worth their while to learn how to cope with the changes.

I'm going to guess a surprising number of people.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to.

For your benefit and my own, I hope ATSC 1.0 broadcasting remains an option. The 3.0 stuff is a mess.

Fair enough then.

My retired parents apparently. Their time is definitely worth more than the money they'd pay to avoid commercials.

Does your flex pack include Disney+ and Hulu's on-demand content? If not, it isn't really and apples-to-apples comparison, but I get your point. The legacy, shrinking business hasn't increased their prices as fast as the new, growing version of the "same thing." Of course, Dish has probably...

Gotta say, this is shocking. This price has remained steady for a while now.
