Combined with Netflix, out monthly bill is still just $25/month, which is fine. If you live within 50 miles of a big city you should invest $70 or $80 for a fancy pair of rabbit ears for broadcast TV. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I just got YoutubeTV free for 7 days. There only one channel I would watch, AMC. That's not quite worth $40 a month. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

reno Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 58 Posts: 1384 | We have the Clearstream by Antennas Direct, and we love it. But most of the channels we watch are broadcast from towers that are less than 20 miles away, so it might not work for everyone. |

Would you pay $16 a month? Comes with AMC, BBC America, BBC World News, Sundance Film channel, Independent Film Channel and some other stuff. https://try.philo.com/ |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Been watching it at what seems a snails pace, [once per week] now that I've had a chance to binge it's not as enjoyable watching a series the ole fashioned way. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

That's cheap, and I get the news channels on Utube. It even has Food Network, which I watch. Youtube does not. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The idea basically started because VIACOM (a company related to CBS) was getting cut out of a lot of streaming services because their channels competed with Disney. Viacom was going to come out with a service with just their own channels for $10, but they were afraid the market would be too limited. Finally they settled on $16 and PHILO TV and included AMC channels, and Discovery channels like "food network". But they didn't include one of the big three American news networks like CNN, FOX, MSNBC. Anyway, you might get a more rounded view of politics by watching BBC World News. Nickelodeon --------- VIACOM Nick Jr --------- VIACOM Teen Nick --------- VIACOM Paramount --------- VIACOM CMT --------- VIACOM Comedy Central --------- VIACOM MTV --------- VIACOM MTV2 --------- VIACOM VH1 --------- VIACOM Science --------- DISCOVERY TV Land --------- VIACOM BET --------- VIACOM These are the costs per subscriber that the cable companies pay for the top 4 channels $7.86 ESPN $2.02 TNT $1.61 Disney Channel $1.55 Fox News Channel But I doubt that AMC gets $2 for all their channels AMC, BBC America, BBC World News, Sundance, Independent film Channel |
