The $35 plan was giving you the channels of the $60 plan. I think I am grandfathered in. I plan to try them all as they come out.

I don’t see how they can charge $60, seems like >= $50 would be the third rail for OTT pricing. Especially since you probably need 1 or 2 more subscriptions to have enough content to cut the cord. Also, still no CBS? Do you plan to try the new Hulu offering when it comes out?

I can sit here with kids and grandkids with prairie home companion playing and still watch a show with really decent caption text. Playing past episodes of shows is till dicey. I will go to Roku for that for now. I tried playing some episodes of The Profit several times only to have them quit in the middle. I like the video quality of the apple TV, but it still pauses now and then on live TV. Being an early adopter I have patience. But it better be better than Roku/Playstation VUE in a year or it is history. DirectTV Now has the best guide. On the PC it kills the show you are watching while looking at the guile. On the AppleTV it has the show playing behind the guide. I still go to Sling and then, but not sure I need it for anything. I may have my HBO accounts coupled to it.
