Transcripts
today I'm back with streaming TV news
and updates for February 2024 and let's
get started with a big change affecting
Max subscribers number one Max's free
trial of the BR Sports add-on has been
extended every Max subscriber is getting
more time to try out the Bleacher Report
Sports add-on and you will not have to
pay extra for it now this extended trial
period it was supposed to expire at the
end of February but there have been some
technical issues and Max subscribers can
now continue streaming live sports free
of charge for a few more months and why
that matter two words for you March
Madness The Bleacher Report add-on
includes live games from three of the
four networks that carry March Madness
and those are TBS TNT and True TV the
fourth Network CBS it's not included but
you can always stream that with
Paramount Plus's Premium plan The
Bleacher Report add-on is expected to
cost
$9.99 a month whenever they decide to
charge for it and that's on top of your
regular Mac subscription no word yet on
the exact end date for the extended free
trial number two another price hike for
Netflix no surprise here Netflix is
teasing another price increase this news
came in a letter to its shareholders
released in late January I'll show you
the quote on the screen that I'm
referring to it says in part as we
invest in and improve Netflix we'll
occasionally ask our members to pay a
little extra to reflect those
improvements now the service didn't give
a timeline for a price hike but don't be
surprised if it happens sometime in the
middle or later part of the Year
meanwhile more big Netflix news WWE Raw
is moving to Netflix starting in January
2025 it's a $5 billion deal no wonder
they're about to raise the price number
three fubo price hike February is the
first month that many fubo subscribers
will be paying more for the the live TV
streaming service this comes after a
price increase in mid January several
plans increase by five bucks a month and
the sports heavy service now starts at
$79.99 a month for the Pro Plan most
subscribers pay a regional Sports fee on
top of that and those fees increased by
a dollar a month when it announced the
price hike fubo said it would be
upgrading the cloud DVR to unlimited
hours and that should happen in the
coming months fubo also said more
channels are on on the way on top of the
70 plus added last year number four
sling freest stream adds Cloud DVR Cloud
DVR not just for paying sling TV
subscribers anymore now you can get 10
hours of cloud DVR storage with sling
free stream this is rolling out to
existing users over the next few months
I have sling free stream and I don't
have this feature yet but in a news
release sling TV said that all new users
who create a sling freest Stream Account
they'll get the DVR storage right away
might be worth checking out sling free
stream has grown to more than 500 free
channels number five is YouTube TV
Library backlash more users are getting
YouTube TV's redesigned library and from
what I've seen on Reddit they don't seem
to like it very much I made a video
about this back in May 2023 I remember
getting the redesigned Cloud DVR Library
around that time and so did many other
subscribers but then it just disappeared
and we didn't hear anything else about
it so far at least for me the redesign
library has not come back let me know
what yours looks like the one thing I've
learned about YouTube TV over the years
is they're constantly changing things
and rolling out the changes in a very
slow manner not always communicating
them with users in the best way number
six T-Mobile ads Hulu some T-Mobile
wireless customers just got a new
streaming perk Hulu with ads this is for
new and existing go 5G next customers
and it is the fourth streaming perk for
that Premium plan people who have go 5G
next also get Netflix standard with ads
Apple TV plus and
MLB.TV alog together it's about $400 a
year in streaming perks too bad the
phone plan is $100 a month for a single
line of service I'll stick with visible
$25 a month number seven T-Mobile home
internet changes T-Mobile home internet
just got more expensive the starting
price is now $60 a month instead of 50
but discounts continue if you bundle
with a T-Mobile phone plan the company
also watered down its price lock and
added new find print that says it may
deprioritize heavy data users at
recording time T-Mobile is still
offering $150 back for New signups
number eight peacock is dropping some
live news peacock launched a morning
live newshub less than a year ago I told
you about it at the time and it featured
msnbc's Morning Joe and cnbc's squawkbox
now live broadcast of those shows no
longer on peacock there are still live
news options on peacock though just not
the ones I've mentioned and NBC News Now
was one of the channels that you can
still watch as for MSNBC and CNBC you
will need a live TV streaming service
for those channels number nine Super
Bowl 2024 streams on Paramount plus the
Super Bowl airs on CBS this year you can
also catch the February 11th game live
on Paramount Plus either plan will do
yeah that means the cheaper version is
fine for the big game it says so right
here on the services website Paramount
plus normally offers 7 days free there
are also frequent promo codes to get 30
days free at recording time try stream
NFL number 10 stream the Grammys on
Paramount plus it's a big month for
Paramount plus February is in the middle
of award season and the Grammys return
to CBS and Paramount plus this year the
award show is Sunday February 4th 1 week
before the Super Bowl but unlike the
Super Bowl you cannot stream the Grammys
live with the cheaper Plan called
Paramount plus essential you will need
Paramount plus with Showtime the Premium
plan that includes a 24/7 feed of your
local CBS station more details and links
