After discussing with my wife this morning, I think we are going to try cancelling YTTV and add in Peacock. WRAL has an app for our local news & weather, and pretty much everything else we watch ends up on one of the on-demand services we already have. The only thing we'll really miss out on is live sports. I don't really have time to watch races any more anyway, so I can just watch the recaps on regular YouTube to keep up.

They will raise their price, just like Dish, DirecTV, Comcast and the rest do every year, the biggest advantage to YTTV is no extra fees( boxes, DVR, etc).

Interesting. Now I wonder if this wasn't some of what was causing trouble in the back room with NBC. When I was on Dish the HBO dispute was because HBO wanted a base audience charge whether it existed or or not and I don't blame Dish for not doing that. I only offer that as an example because that seems to be what affiliates want and uncouplings like this can and will go against them monitarily.

If they offered a Welcome Pack or Flex Pack-style package, that would be interesting to me.

I got a similar email from YTTV about losing Tennis Channel last year and I complained about pricing staying the same while losing channels.
I’ll believe it when I see it.

Looks like YTTV added 3 Hallmark channels. I haven't seen anything about it, but the main channel along with Drama and Movies & Mysteries are eligible to be added to the live grid. They are unchecked at the bottom when you go to customize the live grid.

I saw the announcement a few days ago. My wife will be happy YouTube TV Will Add Hallmark Channels to Its Live TV Channel Lineup | Cord Cutters News

So..I dumped DirecTv for YouTube Tv last month and I’m never looking back. The guide has improved so much since my first post here. The channels switch quickly, the picture quality is great, and there are 4K events such as the premier league soccer which look stunning.

Overall I’m happy with YouTube TV, it’s saving me about $50 a month from DirecTV.
