YouTube TV now available as a bundle with Frontier internet

Customers of internet service provider Frontier can now get YouTube TV through their plan, and at a slight discount for the first year. Frontier’s fiber internet customers can get $10 off YouTube TV for the first 12 months, making the country’s leading streaming TV service $63, plus tax. And those who have the current Frontier TV service will get $15 off for the first 12 months. It’ll be bundled with Frontier’s Fiber 1 Gig service, which costs $70 a month.

The idea is that instead of paying one company for cable TV and internet, you can now pay one company for streaming TV and internet. And it’s not the first time the two companies have teamed up — they had a $10 discount deal in 2021, too.

“Our partnership with YouTube TV makes it easier for customers to ditch cable,” said John Harrobin, Frontier’s executive vice president of consumer. “We take our position as the un-cable provider seriously and are constantly listening to consumers. Many want one source for internet and TV, and that’s what this partnership is all about. With Frontier and YouTube TV, there’s no settling for anything but the best.”

Frontier’s internet service is available in 25 states. You’ll need to check its website to see if the service is actually available at your residence, however.

YouTube TV costs $73 a month and is available nationwide, and on every major streaming platform. That includes Amazon Fire TV and Roku, which cover the two biggest platforms. It’s also available on Apple TV, Google TV, on smart TV platforms, and in a web browser. The service includes support for up to six profiles on a single account (all requiring their own Google account) and unlimited recording. YouTube TV has more than 100 channels and dozens of optional add-ons, including the ability to stream some live sports and on-demand content in 4K resolution.

YouTube TV (and YouTube proper) also will be the exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket starting with the 2023 season.

YouTube TV has more than 5 million subscriptions as of mid-2022.

Hulu + Live TV: plans, price, channels, bundles, and more
Hulu with Live TV.

Hulu + Live TV is one of the best live TV streaming services out there, thanks to a combination of VOD, live streaming, and their massive library. Billed as a Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD), Hulu + Live TV provides many of the features you've come to expect from your cable package without the byzantine contracts.

Hulu has been one of the most popular streaming services out there for years now, thanks to thousands of hours of video including existing favorites, alongside original programming like The Bear and The Handmaiden's Tale. Since Hulu is owned by Disney, you can even bundle Hulu + Live TV with Disney Plus and ESPN+ for even more content.

Philo is now available on LG smart TVs

Philo is one of the least expensive live-streaming services out there. LG makes some of the most popular smart TVs. And now you get the former directly on the latter, without any additional hardware. In other words, there's now a Philo app available on LG smart TVs.

Philo sports 75 linear channels — and this year added AMC+ — for just $28 a month. So while you get around half as many channels as its competitors, you're also paying a fraction of the monthly fee. Old-timers will recognize that it's definitely more expensive than it used to be, having started at $16 a month, but it's also far less than what you'll pay for the likes of YouTube TV or Hulu With Live TV, and it's even less expensive than the most basic Sling package.

YouTube updates will help you sleep and speed things up
The new YouTube Shorts interface.

There are a million ways Google could improve the YouTube experience across all of its platforms. And today it announced a handful that aim to make how you watch on your mobile device, computer, and TV just a little bit better. The updates focus on playlists, interaction, playback speed — and maybe most importantly an option that'll keep you from waking up at 4 a.m. with Mr. Beast still doing whatever it is he does on your screen.

There are more than two dozen improvements on the way, Google says. Here's a quick look at the biggest of what's coming in the near future:
Sleep timer available to all
Sleep timer is graduating from YouTube Premium and rolling out to everyone on mobile devices. It's exactly what it sounds like — a method by which you can tell YouTube to stop playing at some point. You have a bunch of options for the sleep timer (maybe too many) and and choose whether to have videos stop after 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes, or 1 hour — or when it hits the end of the current video.
