Using KZitem TV costs me only about 1/4 to 1/3 of what I was paying for cable. I was paying about $360.00 a month for cable but not anymore plus my wife loves the “DVR” service included in the price and it records all follow up episodes without having to schedule certain shows every night which makes things so much easier. We do have a few add on packages but it’s still way cheaper for us.

I have had it for over 2 years AND with how they parse out multiple users, I share the account with my 2 sisters, so we each pay $25/month. There’s literally nothing I have missed by cutting the cord. Also, I love that I can search for content, add it to my library and when that show/movie is on, it will be recorded for me to watch at my leisure…..

It’s getting harder and harder to have a streaming service that gets you all of the sporting events that you want to watch. MLB, NFL, & NBA all put coverage up for the highest bidder leaving some fans behind to miss games.

You're 1000% correct. Unfortunately, it's only going to continue to get that way since live sports is the only live thing that gets a substantial number of eyeballs. Services will tout it as good for consumers as it means they have "choice", but ultimately, it just means more money out of pocket if you want to take advantage of the supposed choice.

@@spaceghost4474 We've read various articles saying they believe YT TV simply isn't carrying it because the company feels that since they have Sunday Ticket that they're good without it. While it's a fair point that NFL is the 800 lb gorilla, it is overlooking a good number of fans. That's also not to mention the fact other services carry MLB Network, so it really does stand out as odd.

Thanks, we appreciate that! Yes, we do script videos. If we didn't, they'd likely run 20 minutes in length and frustrate our editor AND viewers. 🤣 That's also part of the reason why we do our live streams on Fridays, so we can be off the cuff and go more in detail, if warranted.

At about $80.00 less for YTTV and X-finity unlimited 300 down internet, than I was paying for cable and bundled internet, I still consider it a much better deal. $124.01 vs $204 and change is worth it to me. I would need internet anyway, so if you exclude internet, the live tv part is still over $100.00 cheaper than what I had, so it's definitely worth it to me. I'm not particularly fond of the changes they made to the Library function, but it's not a SERIOUS issue for me.

Yep, it's definitely worth it with your approach to it. We're not that big of fans with what they did with the library function either but, like you, it's not that big of an issue when we use the platform.

I’m continuing to try out KZitem TV while my DISH subscription is on hold. I like the interface and quickness of the channel guide. Don’t care for my Samsung TV (newer QLED) switching display resolution while using KZitem TV. Plus a bit worried about Fall college football as I usually watch two games simultaneously. Hope multi view works as advertised and that the content can be recorded (to enable skipping commercials.

That's the way to do it, in our opinion. Yep, you can record games - you can even set it up to record all games for a specific team. We're hoping that they make the multi view more robust in time for college football season. They've made some improvements, but still not there yet.

It's unfortunately pretty expensive but it's worth it if you need those channels and the content they bring. Especially if you're in my situation where you have trouble using an antenna and you don't get the channels you need anyways through an antenna and there's no cable outfit around and you're not paying for a satellite system. You do have good internet so you picked up KZitem TV. However I'm in the process of canceling all sorts of subscriptions and cleaning out a tab I have on my credit card. So I definitely understand the problems with streaming as you want too much and it becomes too expensive. KZitem TV went from $38 for me with taxes when I first joined to now being nearly a hundred because I also picked up the 4K add on, some movie channels just two screen pix which has retro channels playing stuff between the 1940s and the 1990s maybe even 2000s. And Epix now called MGM+. Everything went up in price.

We subscribed to YTTV last fall and then paused it after the CFP. I'm so frustrated by the money grab conference realignment that took place leaving my team a part of the Pac 2 - then the gutting that we took in the transfer portal - that I will probably not "un-pause" my YTTV subscription. I MAY look into the ESPN service if my anger subsides though. 🙄

Good question and one we addressed in another comment...but, the gist is many believe they're not adding it back because they feel that they have NFL Sunday Ticket and that's enough for them to be the top option for sports. Assuming they feel that way, we'd disagree with the sentiment. Other, comparable, services have it so it sort of stands out as odd that they don't.
