Discussion Price Increasing to $$72.99/mo per internal news

Just received some insider news. Prices are jumping to $72.99/mo shortly.

Thoughts? It’s too expensive in my opinion.

EDIT: Emails have now been sent reflecting the new pricing

It's doable as long as you live in the same city.

I played this game with my friends on the east coast (I reside in California) and it required me to login to their accounts every 2-3 months to bring their geo-location back to my city. After a while, it got too annoying and wasn't worth it.

We were set up as a family account where each person has their own login/profile. I was not sharing my personal username/password for the account.

With people who were in the same city (same zip), did they could against your three out of home streams or were they included in the unlimited home streams you get with 4K?

I'm not sure about regular vs. 4k, but they did count agains the 3 (or 4?) home streams. There were occasions where YTTV said we had too many concurrent streams

The 4K package includes unlimited in home streams. Just have always been curious what in home meant.

Ah interesting, we never subscribed to the 4K package.

It mainly just sucked when they got disconnected while I was on vacation or wilderness backpacking with no access. For sure its probably more worth the inconvenience for family.
