today I'm back with streaming TV news
0:02
and updates for February 2024 and let's
0:06
get started with a big change affecting
0:08
Max subscribers number one Max's free
0:11
trial of the BR Sports add-on has been
0:14
extended every Max subscriber is getting
0:17
more time to try out the Bleacher Report
0:19
Sports add-on and you will not have to
0:21
pay extra for it now this extended trial
0:24
period it was supposed to expire at the
0:27
end of February but there have been some
0:29
technical issues and Max subscribers can
0:32
now continue streaming live sports free
0:35
of charge for a few more months and why
0:38
that matter two words for you March
0:40
Madness The Bleacher Report add-on
0:42
includes live games from three of the
0:45
four networks that carry March Madness
0:47
and those are TBS TNT and True TV the
0:51
fourth Network CBS it's not included but
0:54
you can always stream that with
0:55
Paramount Plus's Premium plan The
0:57
Bleacher Report add-on is expected to
0:59
cost
1:01
$9.99 a month whenever they decide to
1:03
charge for it and that's on top of your
1:06
regular Mac subscription no word yet on
1:08
the exact end date for the extended free
1:11
trial number two another price hike for
1:13
Netflix no surprise here Netflix is
1:16
teasing another price increase this news
1:19
came in a letter to its shareholders
1:21
released in late January I'll show you
1:23
the quote on the screen that I'm
1:24
referring to it says in part as we
1:26
invest in and improve Netflix we'll
1:29
occasionally ask our members to pay a
1:31
little extra to reflect those
1:33
improvements now the service didn't give
1:35
a timeline for a price hike but don't be
1:37
surprised if it happens sometime in the
1:39
middle or later part of the Year
1:41
meanwhile more big Netflix news WWE Raw
1:45
is moving to Netflix starting in January
1:47
2025 it's a $5 billion deal no wonder
1:51
they're about to raise the price number
1:53
three fubo price hike February is the
1:56
first month that many fubo subscribers
1:58
will be paying more for the the live TV
2:00
streaming service this comes after a
2:02
price increase in mid January several
2:05
plans increase by five bucks a month and
2:07
the sports heavy service now starts at
2:10
$79.99 a month for the Pro Plan most
2:13
subscribers pay a regional Sports fee on
2:15
top of that and those fees increased by
2:18
a dollar a month when it announced the
2:20
price hike fubo said it would be
2:22
upgrading the cloud DVR to unlimited
2:24
hours and that should happen in the
2:26
coming months fubo also said more
2:28
channels are on on the way on top of the
2:31
70 plus added last year number four
2:34
sling freest stream adds Cloud DVR Cloud
2:37
DVR not just for paying sling TV
2:39
subscribers anymore now you can get 10
2:42
hours of cloud DVR storage with sling
2:45
free stream this is rolling out to
2:47
existing users over the next few months
2:50
I have sling free stream and I don't
2:51
have this feature yet but in a news
2:53
release sling TV said that all new users
2:56
who create a sling freest Stream Account
2:58
they'll get the DVR storage right away
3:00
might be worth checking out sling free
3:02
stream has grown to more than 500 free
3:06
channels number five is YouTube TV
3:08
Library backlash more users are getting
3:11
YouTube TV's redesigned library and from
3:14
what I've seen on Reddit they don't seem
3:16
to like it very much I made a video
3:18
about this back in May 2023 I remember
3:21
getting the redesigned Cloud DVR Library
3:24
around that time and so did many other
3:26
subscribers but then it just disappeared
3:29
and we didn't hear anything else about
3:30
it so far at least for me the redesign
3:33
library has not come back let me know
3:35
what yours looks like the one thing I've
3:37
learned about YouTube TV over the years
3:40
is they're constantly changing things
3:42
and rolling out the changes in a very
3:44
slow manner not always communicating
3:47
them with users in the best way number
3:49
six T-Mobile ads Hulu some T-Mobile
3:52
wireless customers just got a new
3:54
streaming perk Hulu with ads this is for
3:57
new and existing go 5G next customers
4:01
and it is the fourth streaming perk for
4:03
that Premium plan people who have go 5G
4:06
next also get Netflix standard with ads
4:09
Apple TV plus and
4:11
MLB.TV alog together it's about $400 a
4:14
year in streaming perks too bad the
4:17
phone plan is $100 a month for a single
4:20
line of service I'll stick with visible
4:22
$25 a month number seven T-Mobile home
4:25
internet changes T-Mobile home internet
4:28
just got more expensive the starting
4:30
price is now $60 a month instead of 50
4:33
but discounts continue if you bundle
4:36
with a T-Mobile phone plan the company
4:38
also watered down its price lock and
4:41
added new find print that says it may
4:44
deprioritize heavy data users at
4:46
recording time T-Mobile is still
4:48
offering $150 back for New signups
4:51
number eight peacock is dropping some
4:53
live news peacock launched a morning
4:56
live newshub less than a year ago I told
4:58
you about it at the time and it featured
5:00

5:04
now live broadcast of those shows no
5:07
longer on peacock there are still live
5:10
news options on peacock though just not
5:12
the ones I've mentioned and NBC News Now
5:14
was one of the channels that you can
5:16
still watch as for MSNBC and CNBC you
5:20
will need a live TV streaming service
5:23
for those channels number nine Super
5:25
Bowl 2024 streams on Paramount plus the
5:28
Super Bowl airs on CBS this year you can
