Wonder how much yalls bill will go up now


Whatever it may be, their product is 10x better than fubo sling and hulu's crap.

Also given the Disney earnings report and how much money they were losing during this dispute, id bet the mouse is the side that caved the most.

You tubes price increases are annoying but they are still a significant portion cheaper than other vendors. Also haven't found a UI even close

ESPN App will likely be last to update. It's one of the ****tiest streaming platforms there is.

Guess the mouse investors weren't too happy.

" LOS ANGELES, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Walt Disney (DIS.N), opens new tab signaled on Thursday it was girding for a potentially prolonged fight with YouTube TV over distribution of its television networks, worrying investors about the outlook for its already declining TV business."

" The company also missed quarterly revenue expectations as the cable weakness overshadowed strong growth in the company's streaming and parks businesses central to its growth. Shares were down 8.3% in afternoon trading Thursday."

" Morgan Stanley analysts estimate a 14-day blackout on YouTube TV would cost Disney about $60 million in revenue."

Might have to go into the Live Guide under Settings and "Unhide" the channels, mine were hidden when added back to the channel lineup
