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.

You Asked: Why do TV speakers suck and will Panasonic abandon the US again?
You Asked Episode 80 — The Truth

On today’s You Asked: Why do TV speakers suck -- and why even bother putting speakers in TVs? Why don’t TVs get five HDMI ports? Will Panasonic abandon the US again, and should you even buy one of their TVs?
Why do TV speakers suck? (Can we axe them?)

Mike writes: Why on earth, in 2025, do TVs still insist on wasting space with built-in, inadequate speakers? I can understand lower budget/entry-level TVs, but if people are spending $2,000+, are they likely using an AVR or soundbar? I’d think the added real estate and the cost savings would entice the TV makers to drop the speakers in their higher-end TVs. Plus, they could push their own brand of crappy soundbars. Thanks!

You Asked: Apple TV vs. your TV upscaling dilemma and perplexing pixelation
You Asked Ep 79

On today’s You Asked: Can you stop the Apple TV 4K from upscaling -- and should you? Why is HLG the broadcast standard for HDR and how did some folks get the Super Bowl in Dolby Vision or HDR10? Do secret 3D TVs exist? And why do dark scenes tend to look pixelated?
Stop the upscaling – or not?

Michael Sabin writes: I have a new TCL QM851 and use an Apple TV as the primary streaming device. I know you always recommend letting your TV perform all the upscaling, but I can't find a way to do this with Apple TV. If I set the resolution to 4K, it seems like everything gets upconverted to 4K. Do you know of a way to let Apple TV pass through the native resolution of the content?

YouTube TV on Roku.

"Nothing is certain except death and taxes," Benjamin Franklin apparently said in 1789. If he were alive today, he may very well have added, "... and streaming subscription price increases." Yes, that's my way of saying that -- despite reports to the contrary -- YouTube TV is jacking the price of its base subscription by $10 per month starting January 13, 2025, according to the following email sent to customers on December 12:
YouTube TV has always worked hard to offer you the content you love, delivered the way you want, with features that make it easy to enjoy the best of live TV.

‌To keep up with the rising cost of content and the investments we make in the quality of our service, we’re updating our monthly price from $72.99/month to $82.99/month starting January 13, 2025.
