I would really like a la carte pricing. I don't speak Spanish, so why would I want at least 2 Spanish only channels? This is one of the biggest problems with traditional TV providers; a whole bunch of crap channels I don't want, in a bundle with some I do want.
This is an amazing idea for the consumer but is not how the media companies write out their contracts. So, you want to carry History, USA, TBS, and MTV? Then, by contract, you also have to purchase all of these other channels that nobody is going to watch. Its rediculous, but this is the cable/satellite industry. If that carrys into the streaming insustry, I don't know, but I would imagine so.

Yeah I know what you men, but every I doubt if it were broken up you'd see $3/station pricing. It would just become more expensive.
Since I was paying $220/month on average I'm really happy with where things are now. I'd have to really think about what the differences are. But even price aside I like the YouTube TV app experience and DVR way better.

2.) Shows we watch on FX, AMC, NBC etc (Walking Dead, The Voice, Modern Family, Mr Robot (theres at least 20)
I only have Netflix and Amazon and I have the Walking Dead, Modern Family, etc. Definitely not The Voice, thank goodness, no idea about Mr Robot. Network shows that are good enough for Netflix to want, they get. Just because it's also on a network doesn't mean you won't get it some other way.
True but they are a season behind at least. You can buy them a day after but that adds up.
Does being a season behind have any negative connotations?
I like keeping up on certain shows fo sho
But if you start a season late, you get the same level of keeping up.
There are some shows I just couldn't bare to wait a season on, and most of them I watched from season 1. I also try a lot of new stuff.
For instance I'm episode 5 of snowfall just from the random DVR/On demand use of YouTube.
And btw whoever this special agent actor is is ruining the whole show.

I've never understood this feeling. You don't wait any more doing it that way than you do getting it delayed on Netflix.

Some shows are more fun to take in weekly, discuss online, watch theories. We have a Walking Dead party group for example.
Other shows, like Modern Family and The Voice, you are never going to see except for Hulu. NBC execs are crazy. So $35 on Youtube TV saves me $12 on Hulu. Now I am only paying $22 more without considering the many other benefits.

IRL I don't know anyone that watches shows like that with whom I could discuss anything.

And? That was my point, who cares? There is no one to discuss it with, and once you don't start when it first releases the impact is literally zero. There is no real world negative here.

Do you get together to discuss the plot holes and inconsistencies? Because that's why I had to quit watching it first season. There's so little continuity.

That and it was boring? Yes, that's the kind of stuff one would discuss. but I don't know anyone that watches anything in a way that could be discussed like that except people who binge things on Netflix.

Exactly. It took just a few episodes for me to go "ok, so the real point of this show is that in the event of the zombie apocalypse, surviving humans are the real monsters". I already knew that.

LOL, yeah. And that people still use budget screen writers.

I think If I stopped watching TV according to a network schedule, I'd probably stop watching most TV in general. Not sure I am ready to go that route.
yeah it's a me thing. -

yeah it's a me thing.All bonus for me. That's how I know it is that bad, I wouldn't watch it if I had to select it.

Yeah I made the discussion argument in the past.. but with the advent of the DVR (because of simplicity compared to VHS) time shifting became the norm, so people watching at the same time became a thing of the past.

In retrospect, I'm kinda surprised that the DVR hasn't killed more TV. I guess the shows are strong enough draw without the added conversations about them afterwords.

yeah, well in that regards... I'd be happy to watch history channel, etc more than I do, but my wife hates those shows... and since I already mentioned that she wants to be in the same room as much as humanly possible.. we watch something that is tolerable by both of us.

And I think that with things like Netflix, the idea of people all watching just one or two shows is just gone. So many of the big shows aren't even available on normal cable or whatever. It's not like the 1980s where there were three networks so overlapping shows was easy. Now between there being 50 networks and time shifting on all of them and lots of things to do other than television (like movies, video games, etc.) it's just not that world.

I think because TV was already dead by the time that that came around. And time shifting was already the norm going back to around 1982 when the VCR went from "rare" to nearly "ubiquitous."

I liked it back when it showed history. now, it's awful.
