8+? I just replaced my 6S. It was running into issues working outside when it was 20 degrees or colder. Got a Samsung A23 and oh my goodness, the speed! Nevermind it has more free storage than the 6S had total! And opening Outlook isn't a pain in the butt anymore either.

Dang
Youtube gains NFL Season ticket but loses MLB
Kinda of an odd strategy to pick up sports fans from directv

YouTube TV loses MLB Network

I just got this email from YouTube TV: Hi, We have been working hard to renew our deal with the MLB Network to continue carrying their content on YouTube TV. However, we have been unable to reach an agreement, and starting today, January 31, 2023, MLB Network content will no longer be...

YouTube TV's NFL Sunday Ticket Will Have Split Screen Viewing & More | Cord Cutters News

Recently Google struck a deal to offer NFL Sunday Ticket starting this fall. Google reportedly spend $2 billion for NFL Sunday Ticket, and they have big plans. Now we are learned some of the new features NFL Sunday Ticket will offer during Google’s 4th quarter 2022 earning call. “On YouTube TV...

“On YouTube TV, we’re building the ability for subscribers to, for example, watch multiple screens at once, and on YouTube we’ll be adding new features specific to the Sunday Ticket experience, like comments, chats, polls, and so on,” said Google Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler. “On the creator side, imagine all the creative ways they can create with exclusive NFL content, behind-the-scenes event access and so on. We’re really excited to see what they will do across long-form, short form, livestreams and more.”

We still don’t have details on what Google plans to charge for NFL Sunday Ticket.

Google will also offer NFL Sunday Ticket to YouTube viewers as a premium add-on without the need to get YouTube TV. This will open up NFL Sunday Ticket to everyone for the first time.

They are kinda limited to what the networks provide for content..they don't control any of the video the networks provide...maybe they are going to do a jazzed up redzone channel or an exclusive nfl preshow channel or news channel

Except in the text you quote, it says otherwise.

. MLB Network and NFL Network wouldn't be missed if they went away. Two examples of too many channels with not enough content

MLB network shows a lot of out of market games. It would definitely be missed by many.

How many games a week?

Several, perhaps 4-5.

The churn rate for the next quarter will be interesting since there's no more Sunday ticket or newsmax

Newsmax will mean nothing-Newsmax has an audience of 113,000 according to USTVDB figure

That is it, average rating of 113,000 amongst more then the, roughly, 40 million cable/Satellite Live TV services that provide it ( not all service have it).

A extremely little blip after DirecTV gotten rid of it.

And most can still get it for free via the Roku type devices.

Newsmax ratings compared to Vice raises questions about DirecTV fairness

One reason Newsmax ceased to air on cable was low ratings but it has pointed to so-called liberal channels that retain a fee with even lower viewing figures.

Sunday Ticket will cost me MUCH more Streaming than it did on D*.

The Starting rate may even be more and of course will continue to climb at possible astronomical rates (no idea how fast prices will climb, I can see it going up $10- $20 a year.)

It depends on what you are paying D* vs. what you would pay if you replace D* with YTTV.

If you’re currently paying the average $150 a month for D*, have a high speed internet provider, and get ST for free, you could save over $500 a year by switching to YTTV and paying $300 for ST. That’s enough to buy a couple of Apple TVs, or a flock of Rokus.

I'm talking about ST, not programming .

 

[Bruce]

I'm talking about ST, not programming .

But it is a fair comparison, to be able get Sunday Ticket on DirecTV you had to get a programming package, so even if you received ST free, you still had at least $1600 in programming costs for the year.

Average DirecTV Monthly Bill-$140 a month-$1680 ( maybe get ST for free)
ST if you have to pay for it- +300=$1980

YTTV with ST-$1080 for a year

Last-no Live TV Service-Hulu Bundle, Peacock, Paramount All Commercial Free ( these streaming services have the majority on what is on Live TV)-$40 a month
ST-$300 a total of $780 for the year

So if you went for YTTV with ST, you are saving $600-900 a year.

Like I said .... I was talking about the actual Sunday Ticket, not the Programming. (but no one seems to understand that, they just move to thier aganda)

Sunday Ticket started at $79 and increased all the way to roughly $350 ...

Did You LIKE paying $300+ for ST, NO you did not ....

People said in this thread Years ago that it would be Much Cheaper, I said No it wouldn't because D* set the bar for what they can get for it.

Unfortunately I was probably right.

Its going to Probably start around $250 as an introductory, get as many people interested as possible and move up from there .

Of course this is just a guess, as we have No idea as of yet, no word from Google/Youtube.

I can see a time where I will no longer find it feasible to watch the ST.

I doubt that you'll be able to negotiate with Google on price, or for that matter even have anyone to Talk to at Google.

The 1 huge change is that you can buy it as a Stand Alone .... of course it its priced out of everybody's price range, it doesn't make a difference.
