- So FuboTV decided to change his pricing and packages
two times within a two week span.
The first time they changed the pricing,
I liked it.
The second time that they changed the pricing,
I liked half of it.
So is FuboTV worth that new price increase
in the channeling up change?

(upbeat music)
FuboTV got rid of a couple of packages
and now only have two packages to choose from
instead of four.
Now they have a family and elite package.
FuboTV's new entry level package
is $10 more than what it used to be.
So is FuboTV worth that extra price increase?
In my opinion, yes,
but that's because I'm a sports fan
and it's also perfect for sports watching families.
But I do keep you non-sports fans in mind
during this video.
FuboTV got rid of its Turner network channels
like TNT, TBS and CNN,
but the price increased
because FUBU finally recently added the Disney channel,
ABC and the ESPN channels
and they made a massive change to its DVR.
But I'm going to go over
more about FuboTV's new pricing, channels and DVR,
basically everything that recently changed
and also goes into why I believe it's still worth the price.
FuboTV used to be known
as just a sports live TV streaming service.
Now, FuboTV has all kinds of channels for the family:
news, kids, lifestyle and entertainment,
but the best thing about FuboTV,
you can get over 50 sports channels.
That's more than any live TV streaming service
in the industry.
We'll go over those specific channels in a little bit
but let's first talk about the price increase.
FuboTV got rid of its standard plan,
which is 55 bucks a month.
Now it's new entry-level package called Family
is 65 bucks a month,
but it gives you about 50 more channels
than standard ever did.
FuboTV got rid of its Family and Showtime package.
So you'll just have to add the Showtime add on
for $11 if you want.
And if you want that 50 sports channel package,
you have to go with the Elite for $80.
Worth it in my opinion, for all you sports fans.
Now let's compare these prices
to other live TV streaming services.
YouTube TV is king in the live TV streaming world.
I mean, it's even my favorite
because it's a great value for everything you get.
It's also 65 bucks like FuboTV's family plan,
but with FuboTV,
you'll actually be getting about 20 more channels.
But if you and your family are big into movies and sports,
then the Elite plan is a no brainer.
You'll get over 155 channels for 80 bucks
and no other live TV streaming service
gives you even over 100 channels for this price.
In comparison to the only other live TV streaming service
that offers lots of channels too,
AT&T TV NOW gives you about 140 channels
for $185 per month.
So $110 more for fewer channels.
So you could say FuboTV is a pretty good deal
because the dollar to channel ratio is comparatively low.
But, what channels do you get?
FuboTV recently got rid of its turn network channels,
like TNT and TBS,
but they made an upgrade by adding ESPN
and other Disney channels.
Let me remind you
that you can get access to all 50 sports channels
when you get the Elite package
and you'll get about 35 with the family package
which is still pretty nice.
With Family,
you'll get the basic great sports channels
like ESPN, FS1 and CBS Sports Network.
And you'll also get major sports channels like
NFL Network and the Golf Channel.
With Elite,
this is where you'll get more major sports channels
like NBA TV, MLB Network,
and more college sports channels like Pac-12 Networks
and SEC Network.
But let me highlight the change I really don't like.
The Elite plan used to have 190 channels
with more sports channels
before they made the second change
to it's plans and pricing.
The elite plan used to have basically everything it has now
and everything that's in the sports plus
with NFL RedZone add on
and it was all $85.
Now for $80,
you don't get those extra 25 or so sports channels.
You'd have to pay a grand total of $91 for all of it.
But it could be for the best because now
you could get the Family plan with the sports plus add on
for $76 total.
You could get all of your major sports channels
with the best channel in the world, NFL RedZone,
and a mixture of channels for the whole family.
Just keep in mind,
you won't be getting your local CBS or NBC channels
with FuboTV.
This particularly sucks
when it comes to watching your NFL team on TV.
Now sports channels aside,
your kids can enjoy Disney channel or Nickelodeon
and your spouse can watch HGTV or Lifetime.
There's also a Latino plan
perfect for your Spanish speaking abuelito.
It's only about $30 per month
and he'll get about 32 Spanish language channels
such as Zona Futbol, FOX Deportes and Univision.
But for all my Latinos,
there's an upside and a downside to this FuboTV package.
It has Univision but it doesn't have Telemundo.
Now for the DVR.
A DVR is truly important in this day and age
when we're not always at home at the start of the game.
You know how I said earlier that YouTube TV
gives you a good value with everything you get.
Well, unlimited DVR storage space is one of those things.
But at least FuboTV made a big change in this department.
With the new price increase,
FuboTV got rid of its 30 hour DVR storage.
And now the Family plan comes with 250 hours of DVR space.
And the Elite plan comes with 1000.
So now, this will really give you free range
to record all the MLB, NBA and NFL games that you want.
All right, so my takeaway.
It's especially worth the price
if you get the Family package for $65
with the Sports Plus add on for $11,
if you want NFL RedZone and Pac-12 channels.
Or, it's worth the price
if you get the Elite package for $80
if you want more than 155 channels
and want 1000 hours of DVR storage.
No other live TV streaming service
gives you this many channels for the price of
$65 to $80 a month.
And no other service offers as many sports channels at all.
You also get a nice mixture of news, kids
and entertainment channels for everyone in the family.
So let's hope that FuboTV doesn't make
any more changes anytime soon.
