    I'll be dumping YouTube TV and going with Hulu Live. I was willing to pay the extra $5/month YouTube TV cost me for the extra features they offer, but not without ESPN3.
    Probably speaks to how few people use ESPN3 regularly.

            Is HBO max different from its HBO Now/Go, or is it just a rebranded offering?

              It is a catch all for all of their content. HBO Go only has stuff HBO has the rights to HBO Max will have everything Warner Brothers has the rights to. (like Friends and BBT) Think of it as WB+

                What Handy said.

                - HBO Go is access to HBO only programming streaming courtesy your TV provider.
                - HBO Now is access to HBO only programming streaming that you can subscribe to without a TV provider.
                - HBO Max is streaming everything Warner Brothers and HBO that you can subscribe to without a TV provider.

                Because if AT&T knows anything, they know how to over engineer a simple concept into way too many fractions in an effort to make things more difficult for everyone.

                  I dropped HBO Now and Youtube TV about 6 weeks ago and honestly don't miss them. I may pick Youtube TV back up once the NHL season starts, but I'm unsure. I'll reactivate HBO Now if a show I'm interested in pops up, catch up on the back episodes that I've missed, and cancel again.

                  The Disney streaming option seems like a no-brainer to me, if only for the Star Wars series. $4.99 a month may get me to ditch Netflix for a while too.

                    There is apparently something called Quibi. No idea. But it announced that Keifer Sutherland will star in a reboot of "The Fugitive" with production beginning in October.

                      Were you able to watch Bruins games with YouTube TV? I'm thinking about cutting the cord as we already have Hulu (through Sprint) and Netflix and Amazon Prime. Plus, I've gotten away from watching most TV, but I do love watching hockey and am loathe to give it up. I'm also looking at Disney - though we're talking about getting rid of Prime, so I wouldn't feel bad about picking up Disney + at a fraction of the cost.

                        So someone went through and cataloged the whole Disney+ offering of streaming programming and...

                        ... it's a pretty complete list of back programming.

                        Even includes some lesser Disney syndicated cartoons like Gargoyles and Bonkers.

                        Yeah, kicking myself for not jumping at the D23 deal for three years of programming now. I just didn't know then how complete the catalog would be.

                          Yes, the big selling point for me was that it included NESN. It still does, but between the lack of hockey season (and the Sox ...) and the rate increase I dropped it. At least for a while.

                            Yeah - we would get it for hockey season. I didn't realize how much we were paying for cable until I redid our budget recently. I almost had a stroke. Considering all we watch is NHL network, Bruins games, and 4 TV series that we can watch on streaming, it really isn't worth it.

                              I have zero interest in watching old cartoons. Years ago I tried watching Ducktales and it just wasnt as good.

                                Yeah I don’t get why people are creaming themselves over Disney cartoons. Their movies are ok but I’ll just rent it if I really want to see it.
