    150 though? That’s more than my full Dtv bill!!!

    man. Sticking it to the fans so they can continue to pay enormous advertising deals so they can all make more money….on our time and dime.

    I don't think they've announced a price. If it's $30 and has all the games they'll clean up (they'll also make a killing on ads).

    I took that as sarcasm without the green font. But I could be wrong...

    Sorry, it was semi-scarcastic... though I bet it will be more than $30 a month. These services are good at offering a low cost to obtain customers and then once you're settled in, they start raising it. When I got YouTubeTV, it was $35 a month, now it's double that.

    Also, if do end up restricting it so you can only watch it inside you home, that would really stink. YouTube TV allows you to share with 4 other people.

    No doubt that it will double within a few years of being released after killing off nearly everything else. Then I'll be back to sailing the high seas....

    And you can watch on your phone or computer or fire stick anywhere you go. Whenever I stay at a hotel, I unplug their TV provider and plug in my firestick. Then I can watch all the streaming services including YouTube TV and NBA League Pass which I can watch with DVR capabilities. SOME fancy hotels have TVs with a mirror function but my firestick makes things much easier.

    Would not be surprised at all if Disney made a play at Fubo to expand this even more.

    Sounds like more than a few industry insiders don't think this venture will ever even get off the ground. Getting three major players to come together and agree on anything, especially when one has so much more inventory (Disney) just seems like a recipe for disaster. I do think bundling and something looking like cable is inevitable but I really doubt this venture is going to be it.

    Probably just a threat to get cable to pay up.

    Either way, it doesn't matter, if the price isn't reasonable...
