    I don’t care about 98 percent of the channels the cable company bundles and attempts to charge me for. When we want to watch a movie, we watch it on the AMC or Red Box App on our Smart TV for $4.99 ($5.99 for HD version) like we recently did for Top Gun Maverick. De bundling is the way to go. Put some of these smaller channels forced on us out of business

    I understand what you are saying, but these streaming services keep raising their fees-look at what they cost when they they first started, pretty soon you will be paying as much as cable.

    I had problems with Sling buffering when their service first started, but none since. Fubo & Hulu both had problems when I tried them the last couple of years when they were running discounts.
    I'm happy with Sling & their relatively lower cost, so I'll go back to them. But rising costs are messing up my $100 phone/Internet/TV budget.

    This happens with every provider at one time or another. The timing of slings announcement sucks, but YouTube tv is not immune to this as less than a year ago they had the same problem with espn/Disney…

    YouTubeTV reinstates ABC, ESPN, ends dispute with Disney

    directv, comcast, etc. have ALL had service interrupted with various networks during contract disputes. It is not unique to streaming services and not unique to Sling. They all suck.

    It's back. Disney must've gotten the subscriber switch to Hulu that they wanted.

    I think the rash of cancellations most likely forced Dish to cave.
