Then, it's $8.71 in taxes, fees and charges. Hulu with Live TV throws in a second stream for free, YouTube TV has three free streams and Sling gives you 3 with its Blue plan and only 1 with its Orange plan. Hulu's got 50 hours of DVR space included (and charges $15 per month to go to 200 hours).Īnd, yes, that means you're paying an extra $7.99 for simultaneous streaming if you have a second TV (we do).
Hulu live tv cost for free#
YouTube TV has an unlimited DVR that's free, while Sling includes 10 hours of DVR for free (and charges $5 per month for a 50-hour cap). And that doesn't include the $19.99 per month you pay for the right to DVR. Yes, those slow and seemingly always hot-to-touch cable boxes, those giant eyesores? Spectrum charges $7.99 per receiver per month for theirs. Sling TV? They've got a 1-year price lock guarantee right now, which is more trustworthy. That price may or may not go up in the next year, but you're gonna need to werk if you want to keep it. Then there's the fact that you're renting your cable boxes.
The broadcast TV surcharge (for those pricey broadcast networks such as ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC) is $16.45 per month. Years into our package, the Spectrum TV Select package now costs $73.99 per month according to my bill (we bundle it with internet, and not phone), and that's before a ton of surcharges. So you can tell that the expensive caveats are coming, especially as those prices are just for the first year. While Spectrum advertises that the TV Select package (with a whopping 216 channels) starts as low as $44.99 per month, there's a big ol' asterisk next to that price. For reasons that don't really matter for this conversation, I've yet to cut the cord, but I still see the Spectrum TV bill. To be frank, none of these price hikes should be enough to get people to move back to traditional cable TV.
