Recent Changes
- Last August we "paused" our YouTubeTV subscription for 6 months. The subscription was set to reactivate automatically in February. We decided instead to cancel the serivce. At $65 per month, it's just too expensive for the benefit it provides. If we change our minds, we can resubscribe without penalty.
- Recently, Amazon made a change so that the wonderful 1950's TV series, "The Adventures of Robin Hood" is no longer free on Prime Video. It's now part of the "Best TV Ever" subscription, along with many other old shows. The price is only $0.99 per month, so we've added that subscription, at least until we finish watching the final season of Robin Hood.
- We've also subscribed to locast.org, which provides live streaming of all Detroit-area TV broadcast channels without a TV antenna. The cost is $5.50 per month. We haven't used it a lot, but we did use it to watch the Superbowl and to watch a UM basketball game on CBS. Locast does not include ESPN and Big Ten Network; I've watched highlights of those games on YouTube.
- At the beginning of the year Comcast increased the fee for our internet service to $75.95 per month.
- We received a free one-year subscription to the Apple TV+ network when I bought an iPad in November 2019. Apple has twice extended our free subscription, and it is now due to expire in July 2021, 20 months after the iPad purchase date.
