YTTV doesn’t carry Bally sports which carries all the Cardinals and Blues games here in St Louis. I could get by without but an absolute must for the rest of the family. So when I look at switching, I’d still have to get Bally via another sub and it ends up costing more than I pay now for DTV. As much as people complain about DTV, I never paid full price for ST Max in 11 years, usually free or at least 75% off at worst. Also would call every year and get steep discounts on tv package in general. So this switch just means I have to fork over $389 for the ST/red zone package and have to show the family how to access it differently this year. Not gonna complain too much - that’s still not bad as we’ve got 3 nfl teams we follow and this assures we’ll get every game. I just did the same. However, it is important to be aware that the $100 early discount only applies to this year. Youtube clearly states that next year it will be $489 for the stand-alone ST w/ RZ ($449 w/o RZ). Of course, you can cancel it before it renews. Quote

Until the next sale. And the next sale could be even better or not as good, or not on the terms you want. But did YTTV state there will never be another early discount in future years?

I would assume so. Just like DirecTv had those games on local stations. Always found that kind of annoying on DTV. Would rather be able to just click up one or maybe two channels to see local game rather than have to switch from channel 800 something to #4. If they have the technology to know say I'm in the Buffalo viewing area, why can't they also show the channel 4 broadcast on channel 8XX. Likely will be the same with YTTV too Edited June 4, 2023 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Quote

I did not find a link, but the receipt I received for my payment says that the price for next year is $489. Membership details NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone Regular season $489.00 Inaugural offer $100.00 discount limited to your purchase today -$100.00 Recurring annual charge (Billing starts: Aug 6, 2024) $489.00 Quote

At $489 Reddit starts to look good again. Actually was disappointed I had already signed up when I saw this years schedule, as many Bills games that are either at 4:25, or prime time, kind of felt it's not worth paying for it. Quote

I’ve already canceled the auto renew. Will revisit everything again next summer. Quote
Riverboat Ritchie Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 Anyone know if you can order YouTube before deadline but delay start date till around season start. I would honestly cancel all cable if not for Bills. I imagine you probably have to start service immediately. Quote

Can you separately cancel auto renew just for ST as I also have a subscription for YTTV which I auto pay the monthly bill. Quote

So I signed up and paused for 3 months until the season starts. Quote

I looked into this VERY BRIEFLY and I thought that the pause took place at the end of the month in which you requested it. If I sign up today or tomorrow and want to pause immediately, would I still have to pay for June? Quote

If I sign up today or tomorrow and want to pause immediately, would I still have to pay for June? Nope, no charge other than the $289 Sunday ticket cost or whatever it was with red zone. I signed up and paused the same day. They labeled day one as a “free trial” and billing was set to take place the next day. But that was the day the pause took effect. 2 hours ago, Riverboat Ritchie said: Thanks. Do you have to call to get the delay or can it be done online? Thanks. Go Bills. All done online in your profile. Just make sure you set the pause right after you sign up, because it takes effect the next day, which is the day your first bill will charge. So if you don’t set the pause immediately you’ll end up being charged for the first month. Edited June 5, 2023 by PetermansRedemption 1 Quote

zow2 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Just signed up for the standalone NFL package. Man, that was a bit painful after getting heavily discounted or Free Sunday ticket for many years. No negotiating with YouTube....no human phone contact, you pay their price and receive it or you don't. 1 Quote
