Last year you did the $20 Peacock, mostly for ball games. Did you this year?
Yes, since I only watch sports on there, I expect the commercials, there is nothing I watch from NBC.
Once I get caught up on other content from other services, I might give some Peacock content a try, if so, will add the no commercials fee to my account.
And how much was your Cable/Sat bill that you use as a baseline for your Savings?
The average Cable/Satellite monthly bill is about $120-140 a month, when you add in all the fees.
I currently have YTTV, which I subscribe to from September to January because of Football, since ESPN goes streaming in 2025, this will be the last time I will have to do so.
Not sure how much my Flex Pack on Dish will be next month after contract expires. But anywhere hovering around $100.00 I would find it hard to cut the cord on what we are use to. Presently we pay $93.00.
What I hate doing is paying twice for the same content, specially since that content is shown in better quality on the streaming services.
Since the majority of content from paid Live TV is on those services, plus the streaming shows and movies, it was a no brainer to be a cord cutter.
As far as cost goes, these are the regular prices, I currently pay less on some services because of deals.
These are all Commercial free, 4K, etc,
Hulu/Disney+ $20 a month
Paramount+ $10 a month (based on the $120 a year price).
I currently pay $60
MAX-$17.50 a month(based on $210 a year for 4K) or $14.20 a month (based on $170 a year, no 4K)
I currently pay $139 a year for the 4K option.
Peacock-more complicated, regular prices $140 a year for no commercials, so monthly $11.70
So with the $20 a year special, add in $6 for no commercials and the Live feeds of NBC, Hallmark and others, so $7.70 a month.
AMC+ $7 a month (based on $83.88 per year)
I currently pay $4.50 thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday deal, will catch up and cancel before the 2 month special is over
So, regular prices-$62.20 a month, which includes HBO and Showtime, the majority of content from Paid Live TV, in 1080P, a lot in 4K.
That is $30 less then what you are paying, you are also not paying for the same content twice, getting better quality and a lot of that rerun content that is on paid live TV, you would receive on services like Pluto.
I also do not know what you can receive via OTA.
