a huge announcement from t-mobile just
0:02
coming in and it has nothing to do with
0:05
my name is michael and welcome to the
0:07
michael saves youtube
0:08
channel in today's video i'm going to
0:10
break down this announcement from
0:12
that has to do with t-vision it is a new
0:16
live tv streaming plans from t-mobile if
0:19
this is your first time here
0:20
welcome i've been reviewing live tv
0:23
living for the past several years i've
0:25
tested all the major ones youtube tv
0:28
hulu live sling tv and the rest and
0:31
these t-vision plans are going to
0:33
compete directly with those major
0:35
let's not waste any time i'm going to
0:36
get right into the major highlights from
0:38
today's announcement what you need to
0:40
first up t-vision is a cable replacement
0:43
you're not going to need
0:44
a set-top box anymore just an internet
0:47
a supported device and then you'll
0:48
choose from one of three types of plans
0:51
they are t-vision live t-vision vive and
0:55
with t-vision live there are three
0:58
live tv plus and live tv zone they're
1:01
between forty and sixty dollars a month
1:03
there's a forty dollar plan a fifty
1:05
and a sixty dollar plan these plans have
1:08
news and local stations in many areas
1:12
the more sports you get so when the base
1:14
plan you're going to get espn
1:15
fs1 fs2 but then for 50 a month you're
1:19
going to add in networks like acc
1:21
sec network big 10 network and nfl
1:26
plan that's going to have nfl red zone
1:30
a month the three major cable news
1:32
networks are in the base plan the 40
1:34
one that would be cnn fox news and msnbc
1:37
local stations always vary depending on
1:40
but t-vision will have some abc nbc
1:44
and fox stations no cbs though across
1:47
of course a free work around for that is
1:50
an antenna if that works where you live
1:52
or you could subscribe to cbs all access
1:54
which is being rebranded but it does
1:56
provide a live feed of cbs in many
1:59
those are the three t-vision live plans
2:01
then there is t-vision vibe
2:03
with t-vision vibe you get more than 30
2:06
entertainment networks so this doesn't
2:08
have the sports and news
2:09
it is just entertainment and the price
2:11
is low ten dollars a month
2:13
however dvr is an extra five dollars a
2:17
with the live tv plans you get a hundred
2:19
hours of dvr included
2:20
let me just read off a few of the
2:22
networks in the vi plan there's amc
2:25
hgtv hallmark mtv nickelodeon
2:29
own and tlc just to name a few so in
2:32
some cases this could be an add-on to
2:34
one of the live plants
2:35
but if you just want a really cheap bill
2:37
and entertainment networks only
2:38
you can just get the vibe plan ten
2:40
dollars a month the third type of
2:42
service is t-vision channels and this is
2:45
with t-vision channels you can get epics
2:48
the same prices that you would get when
2:50
you buy these services directly
2:52
but it's the benefit of having it all
2:55
the t-vision app a few key details about
2:58
the t-vision service now as i mentioned
3:00
no cbs included you'll have to find a
3:04
also roku devices they are not
3:06
compatible a bunch of other ones are but
3:09
and at the launch of the service an
3:10
eligibility requirement it will start
3:12
for t-mobile customers only postpaid
3:15
and then in 2021 it'll expand to
3:19
a couple other notes and forgive me if
3:21
i'm repeating just a little bit
3:23
the t-vision live plans again those
3:25
include 100 hours of cloud dvr
3:28
and three streams at a time for vibe it
3:31
is only two streams at a time and dvr is
3:33
five dollars a month extra
3:34
that's the main difference at launch no
3:38
t-vision but there are no contracts or
3:40
long-term commitments like you have with
3:42
so you can sign up one month and ditch
3:44
it the next if it doesn't work out for
3:46
in addition to launching these services
3:50
there's also a new streaming dongle it
3:52
is called t-vision hub
3:54
this is a 50 streaming device powered by
3:57
android and optimized for t-vision but
4:00
it will work with other apps if you want
4:02
youtube or netflix for instance you'll
4:04
be able to use that with the t-vision
4:07
and it's remote t-visions pricing
4:09
definitely competitive when you look at
4:11
those live tv plans 40 to 60 dollars a
4:14
as well as that ten dollar plan that has
4:16
the entertainment only networks
4:18
so what they're doing here is they're
4:19
giving you the flexibility to pick and
4:21
if you just want sports news and your
4:24
locals cbs excluded of course
4:26
there's the live tv plans but if you
4:28
rely on those entertainment networks
4:30
then you can pay ten dollars more for
4:33
vive or just get that as a standalone
4:35
i don't know about you but i'm excited
4:37
for the launch of t vision
4:38
and more competition in the streaming tv
4:40
space and i'm really excited to try it
4:43
a review with you so you can subscribe
4:45
to my channel and you'll get a
4:47
when i get around to doing that review
4:49
so let me know will you be trying
4:51
leave a comment below and give this
4:52
video a like if you got something out of
4:54
it i'll see you next time right here on
4:56
