I think that the best thing about TUBI is the huge number of movies it has. I am constantly amazed at the size of their movie library. Outstanding!! 👍

@crosslink1493 2 ай бұрын

Tubi is my 'go-to' streaming service, primarily for movies. Their user interface has gotten very easy to navigate and their movie selection keeps improving. Summer Movies - Time Bandits, Dr. Strangelove, Vertigo, Pale Rider, most of the 'James Bond' movies.

Monumental was NBC Sports Washington. Before that they were Comcast Sportsnet. If you go way back, they were Home Team Sports. I used to watch Orioles games on HTS on the backyard dish in the 80s and 90s. As for FAST services, I watch Tubi on demand and tune in to Pluto for live channels (Perry Mason, Andy Griffith, etc.) for my background noise.

@@ptman088 No, MASN was formed when the Nationals moved from Montreal to placate Angelos (both clubs own a stake, but the Orioles' share is quite a bit bigger). That's when the Orioles moved from then-Comcast Sportsnet. Somewhere around the time the Orioles sale was being discussed there was some talk of Rubenstein possibly selling MASN to Ted Leonsis, who owns Monumental. Don't know if that will ever happen, but you never know with new ownership. I presume they'd be merged.

@hamsterama 2 ай бұрын

I have cable TV, but I watch Tubi on days when there is nothing good on TV (like around holidays, when most channels air reruns). I agree, the frequency and length of ads on Tubi is very tolerable. I use those breaks as an opportunity to go to the bathroom or to grab a snack. I also like how there is that circle on the upper left corner showing how much ad time is left. Oh, and I also appreciate that the ad breaks happen at appropriate times. I find Freevee nearly intolerable, because the ad breaks happen mid-sentence.

I use Tubi daily. Use the live channels probably a bit more than the on demand, but use both. The reason I use Tubi over any other free service is simple - the advertising is not invasive. I LOVED Pluto until about 2 years ago, now it's just overrun with ads to where it's not worth the watch. Example: Yesterday I decided to watch RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on Pluto. I tuned in, then looked at the timeline. 11 ad breaks were listed... 11 in a 2 hour movie. If it was 30-60 seconds like Tubi, that would have been excessive but tolerable. However, the first break ran 9 ads... and ran me off the movie. Watching their MLB Games channel (which is great), they insert ads on occasion within a half inning (meaning you might see 2 outs then a commercial before finishing the inning). That's not only silly, but just anti-how people have watched baseball for the last 50+ years.

@damiancoughlan 2 ай бұрын

Tubi is an excellent service and I’m surprised it’s still a free service. I use it more for live TV for watching local and national news. They have great on demand content as well with some of my favorite classic movies and TV shows. My favorite summer movie has to be The Burbs with Tom Hanks.

I rarely watch Tubi unless I end up there from a FireTV suggestion. I prefer going to the specific streaming service. I can answer the live TV vs on demand when it comes to Frndly TV that I use a lot. I tend to use the guide for the live TV or the DVR recordings the most. I occasionally use the on demand. I also have been watching Hulu a lot lately.

Pluto-Season 1, Season 2 on Paramount - that's ok - from free to paid. However, 4 Seasons of a show on Paramount - they move season 1 to 3 to Max - from paid channel to another pay channel. Hulu on demand standalone channel (not Hulu on Disney) - also moved earlier seasons of a show to Max - so from paid - to paid ... I don't like that trend, it's a tricky way to get you to pay twice for the same show.

Fubo will not last due to the current rising price, especially with the hidden RSN fees, as well as the dropped channels that are growing. The only reason Fubo is still surviving is because they seem to be the only legal option for RSN, outside of cable a/or Direct TV streams (my case Fubo Is still cheaper than both options to get ROOT SPORTS in Washington state).

I live in the DMV & if I remember correctly it was NBC sports. However whatever name they are now they are making a HUGE mistake thinking that they are important enough, especially in DC, to charge what they are asking. The DMV is one of these areas where there are just way too many people that are from somewhere else and if they are sports fans they are still going to be fans of the teams that they always have been. I knows this is just anecdotal but from what I can see from whatever sports paraphernalia people display or wear maybe 1:5 is a DC sports team. I honestly don’t think there are enough viewers unless they are playing a really popular team to justify keeping the RSN here.

So this is interesting about government tax double dipping.... Kinda explains why large ISP's like AT&T, Spectrum, Comcast, etc. have to charge so much (or is it a win win scenario for the government AND the ISP?). I also wonder witch cities are really pushing for this tax, cause certainly not every city across America is experiencing the same tax deficit. This is where the FCC and Congress should step in and say yay or nay on these types of taxes (thats if those entities can be trusted). I do not feel that Internet access should be taxed the same as cable TV. It is not the same service even though major ISP's are using the same physical media to deliver multi-forms of services. It is, in theory, the same concept as individuals being taxed for trash pickup through their water company (or other utility) and then having to pay to have trash pickup because public trash services are not available in their specific area.
