Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

That sounds way higher than it ought to be, but yeah using youtube TV for sports is very expensive. NFL+ is your best bet at 16 a month, but it wont have season opener, MNF, TNF, or SNF. To get all those you need Prime, Peacock, and ESPN. Lets say 16 X 4 = 64 bucks a month. So, 256 bucks a year to cover all the bases.

Last year I had NFL+ for redzone, Prime (not that I TNF games are often worth watching) and peacock at a reduced price of 25 bucks for entire NFL season. So, I came in at 145 bucks for the NFL season. If I had wanted ESPN+ it would have taken me up to 256.
From what I understand, NFL+ is still just for local and primetime games, but if you are out of market, YouTube + Sunday Ticket is your only option there. So say you are a Green Bay fan, and you move away from Wisconsin, but you want to watch Packers games because well - you're a fan, sorry, you're SOL as far as local games go.

In the meantime, I have re-subscribed to Netflix. Mainly because I wanted to watch Godzilla Minus One, but then I also kept it because of the new animated Witcher film. Both of them are half-watched for a while now - I guess, I'm really bad at this streaming thing 😅

I currently also have a Crunchyroll subscription (because with all the buzz around Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, I reasoned I should maybe watch it) and one for Warhammer+ (which is a bit of a mixed bag, because it's nice to have some Warhammer content to watch, but the animation quality often is not that great).

Apart from that, I find myself buying more Blu-rays again, because they are cheap enough and I can watch things whenever I feel like it without any recurring costs.

NFL+ gets you everything its not a local sub or relegated to a single market. It's an internet app. Satellite TV has the Sunday Ticket option but I think thats very expensive. You are insane if you choose youtube TV and want to watch NFL. Its the most expensive route.

What am I missing here? (this is from their website) -

NFL+ includes access to:
  • Live local & primetime regular season and postseason games on your phone or tablet
  • NFL Network
  • Live out-of-market preseason games
  • Live game audio (home, away, & national calls) for every game
  • NFL library programming on-demand and ad-free
  • Ad-free game highlights
  • NFL Fantasy+ Roster and Waiver tools on your phone or tablet
I don't see anything there about out of market games.

Edit: And then the Premium version adds in RedZone for touchdown, red zone coverage. Still not the whole shebang.
 


No, I'm in the US. I can get Hulu, Disney+, or both. Right now I have Disney+, but I see Hulu as an option on the main Disney+ screen.
This will ultimately be something different, although they will probably grandfather in the old system for a while. Eventually, all of their streaming stuff will just be one pile of stuff, partly because Disney+ content is really thin unless you are very committed to watching the same stuff over and over again.
 

Local meaning to where the game is played, not to where you live.

Everything I’ve read online and my past usage of other services, local NFL games meant exactly that - you received local games to where you lived. It’s the whole blackout concept. I mean, they specifically call out out of market pre-season games but not regular season games.

Don’t get me wrong - I’d love to be wrong on this, but I wouldn’t want to sign my folks up for it and then find out whoops, wrong. (Though I’m sure they can cancel.)
 

Dumping Disney.
There's several things on D+ now that I'd like, but I can't get inspired to turn it back on. Maybe if I commit to one busy month of Andor, Doctor Who, Deadpool, Thunderbolts, Daredevil and then turning it back off, once Alien: Earth wraps up on Hulu. Even then, I suspect we'd enjoy turning Max back on more.
