Never understood why they had two separate apps to start with.

Good point. Don’t understand why either.

Meanwhile, Roku had a great quarter.
2.4 million more new accounts. Now has 53.6 million users.

I use Hulu Live and like it with the Disney+/ESPN+ bundle, but yes, the price increases keep coming (and my guess is that they won’t stop). The fact that they’re month-to-month from day one and don’t require contracts is still a huge positive over cable or satellite, but in terms of pure cost, the days of price arbitrage where you could clearly get the same channels on streaming for less than cable are over. Sling is more inexpensive, but that’s because they don’t have the sports channel lineup that I want (or else it defeats the purpose of me purchasing any streaming/cable/satellite in the first place).

Sling has a good Sports Add on package.

Fubotv has better sports coverage for the price.
