Cord cutting revisited

[muwarrior69]

The only time I get to see Marquette play in person is usually once a year at Seton Hall, St.John's or Nova. Usually it is my family of 4 including me and betwenn tickets, the train and concessions it can run betwenn 5-600 dollars. I know some if not most are STH for Marquette games. Some like 82 will travel from Washington State to see his buddies which I can imagine costs some coin. We each get to spend our money on Marquette basketball the way we want, but I do find it amusing why some complain when they cannot get a discount for games on a streaming sevice, yet will go all out to see games in person.

I don't find it amusing. I think it sucks that games are on so many DIFFERENT formats, requiring you to have multiple subscriptions. It's frustrating.

Sometimes it's no so much about the actual dollar amounts, but more about the principle of it.

Guys,

This one worked for me this morning. Got $10 off for the next 6 months:

Yesterday (I think) there was an email from YouTube TV re: Televisia .. I didn't even read it.. I think some rando channel got removed.

In that email, there is a link to CANCEL.  I clicked that, and it brought me to the 'Manage' page and a $10 off for 6 months offer appeared. I clicked on that, and boom.. $60 saved.

If you're at the I4 / MU game, please repay me by buying me a beer.

Looks like there are 4 games on ESPN+.  How much does it cost to add that to Youtube?  I was considering switching from Hulu after the recent price increase, but will probably stay and get back on Peacock.

Is all of this nonsense generating more revenue for the schools - it is highly annoying as others have said.

YouTube TV subscribers: Acting on a tip from a friend, I just got $10/month off for the next 6 months.

It's kinda similar to last time, but I didn't have to threaten to cancel today. I just logged into my account, went to Settings, found Base Plan (under Membership tab) and clicked on Select. It then simply asked me if I wanted the next 6 months at $72.99 each, which of course I did.

I used a laptop vs smartphone to log on; I have no idea if that matters or not but I remembered that it did last time.

My friend said he heard that sometimes the offer is even a little better, though I have no proof of that. I was perfectly happy to save the $60. Anyhoo, good luck to all who try it.

I did the same for HBO. I cancelled and within 30 days I got an offer for $6.99 a month.

I usually only keep hbo for about half the year so when I cancel after the 6 months is up, I'll see if I get another offer.

Not sure if this was mentioned already, Sling offers day and week passes.

I've been using the week pass to watch the Brewers NLDS games.

It has been annoying trying to watch the MLB playoffs. The series move around between channels, one day HBO Max, one day TruTV, then TBS, then FS1. At least on Sling, some of these channels are split between packages which makes it even more annoying.

Even with 4 series, there are enough channels they could designate one channel to carry an entire series instead of moving them between channels.
