Good video. I paused my KZbin TV in April, and canceled a few days ago. The price for what I am watching was just too much. I don't really watch sports, so Philo was perfect for me. I am paying the additional $10 for additive content there and am still saving a lot of money. Further, Google as a company has turned me off in many ways. Massive layoffs, cancelling products that people came to rely on, and the nonsense they are pulling on creators shows me that they've lost interest in consumers. The lesson for me is to stick with companies who have products that speak to their core competencies, not companies who want to play in someone else's backyard and leave when they're bored.

Your videos have helped me a lot and I have shared them with others. I look forward to the day when there is alternative to KZbin (the same way is we are finally seeing an alternative to Adobe), so that when Google/KZbin gets slimy, we can just move on. As for live TV, when I cancelled cable a couple of years ago, I picked up Philo (due to a T-Mobile deal) and I mainly use it for on-demand content, not live TV. It also allows me to sign into certain networks' own apps to watch content. Otherwise, I've been on-demand ever since - I watch what I want, when I want.

KZbin TV has been one of the best for me too, but I have some major issues with it. ❤ My father has Alzheimer's, and it has been so difficult for him to use it. 😢💔🙏🏻 KZbin TV's UI is horrible! Every day my dad struggles with changing channels because it doesn't sync up to our remotes correctly. The only reason we're keeping it is because it is definitely good for cost-saving compared to cable, but they really need to improve the user experience, especially for disabled or impaired people. Even I struggle navigating the interface, and I'm a very tech-savvy person. I've heard a lot of other people complain about these issues as well. I'm glad you made this video and brought some of these issues to light.

One of the reasons I cut the cable chord couple of years ago and chose KZbin TV was in part due to your reviews and receiving local stations like PBS, ABC, CBS and NBC. It is very disappointing that folks such as yourself are not being recognized by KZbin TV for the valuable service you have and continue to provide. Always informative and to the point. So, if one were to explore other streaming options, where would one go to obtain local stations? Perhaps a quick video would be helpful and show other YTtv users other local channel options available. 🙏

YTTV seems to be my best option, hoping pixelation won’t be an issue. I have fiber optic from Sonic and at last check was getting 698 Mbps. Only plan to remain on YTTV till election and inauguration are over. I’m only doing this so I can get CNN and MSNBC unlocked and beyond highlights on YT and Peacock.

As someone who works for one of the big 2 cable companies, I understand the frustration of the masses and get the cord cutting. That said, the studios in the end drive the cost structure, with retransmission fees and programming costs. KZbin TV and other linear TV providers are finding this out now too. Over the top TV is here to stay. We will see how the studios respond as more and more churn takes over that space.

It started at 35 a month, it's now 72.99 a month. I may not be the best at math but that's not 45 dollars. I do agree, the price bumps have been irritating.

The hike to $45, not a $45 hike. Also they've already hiked it to $82.99, so before next year it will probably be over $100.

I just refuse to pay $80 a month for the 3-4 channels I watch. If Google gave one a sliding monthly fee, based on a choice of 3-4 channels - I would def consider that - but none of them do.....so I also have said goodbye to YT TV. I can get my news from Yahoo News and or CNN's site etc.

That's what we all wanted all along, and "cord cutting" was supposed to be the answer. All we got is a couple years of loss leading and the same crap as before.

I e been a DTV stream customer since 2019 and it’s more than doubles the cost since. Started at $50 a month and I now pay $110 no changes to my channel line up whatsoever ever as a matter of fact they are ALWAYS trying to get me off my plan by offering upgrades because I’m on an old grandfathered plan that includes HBO max. I’m getting ready to cancel it

Drop trying to get "OTA/Local Live TV" from streaming providers and just go with a Tablo 4th gen unit to air/record those. Now you'll only be looking for a low priced streaming channel service and not a stream service that also supplies Live TV which are usually more expensive.

I'm beginning to think live streaming in general, is a waste of money.. We subscribe to Sling Blue because my wife is fond of a specific cable news channel that is available on it. But if I had my way, I would drop it completely. And do the free 'AD supported' versions really do ANYthing to differentiate themselves from each other? How many times can one watch "Fail Army' and old John Wayne Westerns before our collective jaws go slack? I don't follow sports and I am suspicious of news outlets in general. I am also suspicious of the Big Tech companies like Google and Microsoft. (I am a Microsoft Recall refugee recently moved to Linux). I feel like the whole thing has me trapped in some sort of real world, "The Truman Show". You are correct to stop giving Google any more money, your reasons are sound. Now, it is up to the rest of us to find reasons to stop as well.

Great video as usual Michael. I too am considering dropping YTTV as my broadcast network needs are met using an antenna. The only cable network I watch fairly regularly is TCM. Quick question: is Max with ads the cheapest way to receive TCM? Thanks again for all you do.
@MichaelSaves6 ай бұрын
Yes - Max has some TCM content, not the live channel. There is a free trial of Max if you want go check it out before paying.

Every morning I turn on my smart tv and wait about 3 mins, then I go into the live tv app and wait another 3 mins, then scrolling through the guide has another delay until it loads all the changes. That is roughly 6 to 10 mins to watch actual content. When I had cable I turned on the tv and content was ready in under a minute.

Never had any interest in YTT. If I needed to subscribe to a service for local channels I'd have gone with Hulu but since I get all the OTA channels through my antenna/Tablo set up it's not necessary. I rotate services too. I have to wonder if they'll ever put a stop to that practice by having only yearly subscriptions.

Question for Michael: Why are you not able to fix your site being demonetized like Tyler the antenna man did? I am assuming you tried following his lead. It sounds like KZbin is demonetizing sites with very little evidence. It is just a way for them to pay you less. This sounds like a class action suit in the making. I hope you get it fixed. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jerry. I have been dealing with KZbin for 1.5 years, long before Tyler was affected. I've tried countless things, including some recommendations from Tyler's experience! He's been helpful.
