I think the trend is going towards having your "core" streaming channels (Netflix, Amazon, ESPN, etc.), and then rotating through the other services--we do Hulu for 2 months, then drop it and add HBO for a couple months to catch up on our shows there, and by the time we're caught up, we can drop it and go back to Hulu where things have been backlogging for us.But that also means it probably won't be part of Sling TV or Playstation Vue or any other cable / satellite package. Or am I wrong about that?
Many people for many years have bemoaned how much cable / satellite costs and all of the packaged channels you get that you never watch. It may seem great to truly be able to pick just the handful of streaming channels you want, but each one is quite expensive on it's own. First, you gotta have decent to good Internet or you're going to be getting a lot of buffering. There's $50 a month (taxes, fees, modem lease). Gotta have Netflix. $10. Gotta have Amazon Prime (yes, you get more than just streaming movies). $8.25 ($99/12). Man, that one show I really want to watch is only on Hulu.$8. Star Trek's coming out with a new series and I'm super pumped! $6. Got kids? Need Disney! Price TBD. Love sports? Need ESPN. Price TBD. See where I'm going here? That's $82.25 without the Disney/ESPN because there's no price yet. Ok, you were going to have Internet anyways, that's $32.25 for 4 services. Will be up to around $50 a month once you add in Disney/ESPN. Wow, might as well have a cable/Internet package...
