    On the Apple TV box, if you turn off your TV/system while YTTV is playing, YTTV will auto-play when you turn it back on. If less than 4 hours have passed, it will often resume playing time-shifted back to when you turned your tv off. This and the live previews in the guide and mini guide make YTTV a much better experience on Apple TV than on Roku. The thing I wish they would add is the ability to change channels using voice commands (Siri or Roku Voice remote).

    If you can get your local channels by antenna or you don’t need than your advice should be to not subscribe to any of them. For me it’s OTA, UA-cam premium and Amazon Prime. Prime has a tonnage of shows to watch. Then I subscribe off and on between Apple TV+ and Netflix. Folks, don’t think you need to have channels.

    🆘 Comcast cable beware of their billing scam promising you five dollar credit if you sign up for auto bill paperless billing. I did never received the five dollar credit on any of my bills over 2 years. Not to mention when you cancel their pathetic overpriced cable/wifi service it’s a nightmare trying to settle up with a final bill and get a hard copy sent to you. I was never able to access the Comcast infinity website so I could print a bill; and don’t forget they raise your bill every year charging you more for their boxes and their pathetic service. So that’s why I fired Comcast.

    We were on the verge of getting away from Uverse and AT&T internet when I found Michael’s channel and after listening, we tried the UTube TV trial and cut out AT&T. When I tried to get their after internet service, I was told it would be a new install That cost extra and I’d still need a router. Summary: We shopped, got our T-Mobile >55 plan for the 2 of us for $70 unlimited, “tested their 5g internet for $50, and dumped AT&T entirely. With phone, internet, and cable we went from $346 to $200/month. UTube has all we need, but it was the local channels that swayed our decision. We got FRNDLY for other channels my wife wanted and tune in an out of services on an as needed basis. My son in law does FUBO, but he’s a sports guy.. This channel is worth subscribing to and financially suppoprting.

But with T-Mobile with 3 phones and 5g internet for $145 locked in as compared $225 with Comcast and Verizon sealed the deal. I didn’t understand why Verizon installed a new tower within sight of our house last year, but didn’t offer 5g service, so we switched to T-Mobile and kept our cell numbers when we switched.

    Im with xfinity and with my low income using the ACP support got low internet with payment plan for their phone. Gov. no longer supports that plan. A couple more months and the phone will be paid off, then I will have to keep a close watch to see if price goes up. Other carriers Ive talked will only give you the similar internet rate if you buy their phone, so it appears a no win situation for people like me. I currently pay $30 a month with 100 speed till that price goes up.

    OK I finally cut the cord from directv and went youtube tv for a couple yrs. But now I notice the stream services inching their way upwards. So I dropped the stream and now its over the air tv for me. Of course finding the right antenna of each individual is the issue I finally found one for me that brought in my locals and I happen to live 35 mi from my local big city. The cheaper indoor channel master antenna works for me as it has the 12' RG6 cable. This is not to say I wont pick up a certain stream during winter time to see my fav team or not. If I do it may only be for a month or two.

  • @buffuniballer

    If one does choose the Visible base annual plan and then wants to upgrade, you just pay the difference for the remainder of the plan. I've locked Visible+ 1.0 for $35/month, so kinda of the best of both worlds to an extent. I did the same for my wife six months ago. I recently upgraded hers to Visible+ 2.0 and paid the annual rate, so effectively $33/month. However, we have multiple carriers on our phones for travel. I have her on Boost Infinite for $25/month. Since we already had the iPhone 15 Pro Max purchased directly from Apple, we got the Smart Network "Rainbow SIM" and she's on Boost towers when they are available. When not, she gets service from TMO or ATT towers based on the PLMN info I get from her phone. I use Mint Mobile and Visible to have access to both TMO and VZN networks. My employer provided work line is on ATT, so I'm well covered. We travel, so no one carrier is the best in any particular area. With MVNO providers and unlocked dual SIM phones, we can access multiple networks for less than a line on ATT, TMO or VZN costs. Finally, access to carrier deals on phones is essentially choosing a digital handcuff. It's the same sort of "locked in" as the phones are locked to their network until paid off AND the credits (if you get them, and sometimes the carrier "forgets") come over a three year period. Just buy your phone from Apple or Samsung (or whomever, one is not limited to those manufacturers) and you have an unlocked phone you can sell or trade in. I did the math and for a single line of service, what I would pay ATT, TMO or VZN for an iPhone 15 and two years of service gets me an iPhone 15 Pro and three years of service on Mint Mobile. Maybe even longer if I sell my old phone. (I got $600 selling my iPhone 13 Pro, so that's 50% of the cost of the new iPhone 15 Pro I use as my daily driver phone) The video makes some good points. Just wanted to point out Visible lets you upgrade your annual plan if you want. I don't think they let you downgrade it. They have your money, so why would they :)

    We're retired and I switched from Verizon FIOS TV to Direct TV Stream as it's the only offering that has all of the channels we used to watch on Verizon. Also it allows unlimited streams so when the kids and grand kids come to visit we can have a dozen or so streams all going at once. I wasn't looking at saving money as we added a couple of special streaming services based on content but using the Amazon Fire 4k dongle we couldn't be happier. Nice that there's no contract because I'll cancel in a second if they start playing the price increase game.
