0:14
study from the American customer
0:16
satisfaction index it found customer
0:18
satisfaction with streaming services

0:27
details now according to the acsi
0:30
consumers who took part in this study
0:32
they were most satisfied with Amazon

Prime video interesting huh especially
0:37
since Prime video now includes
0:39
advertising peacock and YouTube premium
0:42
they're next on the list followed by
0:44
other OnDemand services like Apple TV
0:47
Plus Hulu and Netflix sling TV is the
0:50
first live TV streaming service to
0:52
appear and several other live TV
0:54
services known for their high prices are
0:57
featured in the bottom half of this
0:58
chart there's YouTube TV Hulu live and
1:00
then Direct TV stream at the very bottom
1:03
another headline from the acsi study

1:12
among fiber providers and among

1:32
Dan is actually happening this reporting
1:35
is from CNBC right now this is just a
1:37
business story so I'll be watching for
1:39
any consumer impact that could be many
1:42
months down the road stay tuned Pho is
1:44
Raising prices this month starting June
1:47
12th the core package will increase from
1:49
$25 to $28 a month for new subscribers
1:53
with the change the bundle will now
1:54
include AMC plus now Pho handles price
1:57
increases a little bit differently than
1:59
most Services it's not forcing the price
2:01
increase on current customers they can
2:03
keep their existing plan and price fubo
2:06
now includes unlimited Cloud DVR storage
2:09
the service first said it would provide
2:11
this upgrade back in January that's when
2:13
it announced a $5 month price increase
2:16
now I always liked fubo DVR now it's
2:18
even better with that unlimited storage
2:21
I read through this FAQ page on fubo
2:23
website and learned that with the change
2:25
to unlimited DVR recordings are now
2:27
saved for up to 9 months that seems to
2:30
be the standard among premium live TV
2:32
services with unlimited DVR so what do
2:35
you think about roku's home screen
2:36
changes there are now four Columns of
2:39
tiles that allows you to see more tiles
2:41
on the screen at once without having to
2:43
scroll but if you prefer the old way
2:45
with only three columns you can keep it
2:48
here's how customize the Roku home
2:50
screen by going into your settings then
2:52
click home screen and then adjust the
2:55
tile size there's also this new option
2:57
to hide the recommendations rows and and
2:59
after testing out the smaller tiles for
3:01
a few days I ended up switching back to
3:04
the larger tiles let me know which one
3:06
you prefer I look forward to your
3:08
