What junk way to run a business by Google/YTTV. First you announced a loss of carriage with 2 days warning. And then you say it’s back temporarily but give no time table.

I’ve already canceled my YTTV sub and started Hulu live. I’m sure they received a flood of cancellations, which spurred the temporary extension.

I've been pretty happy with Hulu. No dropouts or hangups for Kings games

NHLStreams shut down on Reddit. There's a neat In Memorium thread there though, in case anyone is suffering from Youtube TV blues. Haven't even had a chance to research other streaming services yet. How is Hulu Live? Anyone using Sling? I've also heard of YonderTV, although it seems like a VPN would accomplish the same basic thing.

Hulu live is good.

How much does Hulu run a month? Paying 40 something for YT

I bought almost every option they had minus the niche programming add ons and they’re nailing me for like $130 / month after the free trials expire.

They still don’t carry channels like Comedy Central, discovery and AMC. So I ended buying Better Call Sauls new season through iTunes for $25.

Neither did youtube TV. Not sure why the NHL makes it so hard to like their sport, like you should get a f***ing merit badge for just figuring out how to watch....

it all comes down to $$ and I think the NHL has an inflated view of how many people want that channel

I really don't miss it. I had it for a few weeks again before PS Vue died and it's pretty much useless now other than playoff overruns and the draft

Totally. There's barely anything worth watching on the channel so not sure why it's so hard to get.

This is 100% the problem. NHL executives are over valuing their product. There is a small dedicated fan base which will pay a small premium to watch all NHL, or every game of their favorite NHL team, and that's it. This isn't the NFL or college football we are talking about here.

The answer isn't in jacking up the price. The answer lies in getting the most volume, that's eyeballs watching your broadcast. Even if they had to lower the price to something like $5 a month they should do it. Hey if Disney can to it, the NHL can. Here's another thought. They might want to archive and make available past Stanley Cup Finals or great playoff rounds. I know in the dog days of summer I might get a kick out of watching Bobby Orr, or Wayne Gretzky in the playoffs one more time, but at my leisure and when I decide I want to watch it.

I am a Pac-12 fan. The Pac-12 Network is run the same way as the stupid LA and NY RSN's. One of the things I look for when I sign up for a service is the Pac-12 Network and other outlets such as FS1 that carry Pac-12 games. The people that run leagues and conferences better figure it out, and soon. They might want to try starting their own app and not being part of a bundle. I would pay maybe $10 a month for an ala carte niche product like the NHL or the Pac-12. Just don't gouge me on the price though, and there better not be any blackouts for any reason.

indeed man
Smart phones and the NHL app really took away any reason to watch on the fly

They should pimp themselves for less and try to rely on ad revenue

The ad rates for apps is pennies compared to cable/satellite. So you can’t cut the licensing fees for some viewers who are already unprofitable.
 
Well Hulu can suck it too. You fast forward through a recording and they make you watch 140 seconds of commercials before playing. Good thing they’re more expensive too. Might just make me stop caring about TV at all.

Hulu seriously sucks. I didn't even make it through the free trial
