I was using DTV for cable and Cox for internet (because Century Link is trash and they basically offered me a free year and I still said no). I was going to cancel DTV and do YTTV but I heard if I signed up for a tiny TV package with Cox it would cut the cost of my internet even more and represent savings. So my plan was to have Cox tv I didn’t watch and YTTV as my primary.
Cox cut me some deals, that combined with the YTTV price hike, made it so I could have FSN, NBCSN, and NHLN with whole home DVR for $5 more per month than I would have been paying otherwise. And I have customer service now. YTTV is lonely. There are no people who can help if you have an issue or a complaint.
I figured I’d do cable for another couple of years until one of the application based services checks all of my boxes for hockey content and DVR capability. Anti spoilers interface being a huge one. Pure FFWD capability being another.
Right now, Cox meets 100% of my needs and is barely more expensive for the package I want.
In a few years, I expect to be able to stream everything from some expensive app, with my DVR needs met, AND the ability to pick up out of market sports so I can hopefully watch CHL and D1 hockey games.
My dream is to be able to watch Coyotes games on demand with a flawless DVR interface but also pick and choose amateur hockey games to watch, so I can keep an eye on all the draft eligible kids throughout the season.
