[Electronics-Talk] Fubo TV, A Strong Candidate

Mon Jun 14 14:10:00 UTC 2021

Hello again Tina and everyone,

It depends on the service. Some like Pluto TV are supported with adds so you
have to put up with commercials. Haystack News is another such app. Others
require a monthly subscription fee usually around $5.00 which is cheap.
Others like PGA Tour Live and PBS require you to pay an annual subscription.
PBS gives you some local and selected national programs free of charge. You
can access their program library via the PBS Passport which is paid
annually. Both the PBS Passport and the PGA Tour Live subscriptions run
around $50.00.

	Some providers offer a bundled plan that includes several apps. We
have Disney Plus and pay $10.00 monthly for their flagship app. In addition
they give us ESPN Plus, and the Hulu streaming library. This subscription
does not include Hulu's live tv streaming service.

	Another benefit for using paid apps is you can get rid of
commercials. IMDB is a service where this is true. You can watch their
content free with adds or buy programs you may want to add to your library
to get rid of the adds.

	The best advice we received when it comes to tv app and service
subscriptions is if you benefit from it keep it. Otherwise get rid of it to
keep you from over spending for these services. Happy streaming.

Peter Donahue

00 Peter, do you have to pay individually for all of these subscriptions
that you mentioned, I would be interested in adding ESPN or possibly the NFL
Network or something for NFL if it's available. Is ESPN work pretty well if
you add it to prime video which like I told you we have? We do use TuneIn
for some things, and like that we can stream it on the stick. We do that
quite often during the day and may do so even more if if we cut the cable
the only thing is that they got rid of sports games as I'm sure you know
which really is too bad I think in the fall when it comes to football which
I really enjoy watching. We both do. And right now for basketball.
