I had Comcast and switched to TMobile 5G. It was way cheaper. You are right. Comcast tried to get me back not by matching price but by offering higher speed. I don't need more speed so it's a no go. The speed thing is their only strategy. They can't or won't match the price.
That won’t happen. Too many regulatory hurdles to overcome with CBS/ABC and the owned and operated tv stations in New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia. Plus Disney is still busy digesting 21CF and the debt it took on to buy it. The combo of Disney, 21CF and Paramount would raise issues too. Sky dance would have an easier time of getting approved if they can raise the financing
Disney has destroyed Star Wars, Marvel, and now Pixar; WB has destroyed DC, so I don't want either one buying Paramount. Although Paramount has done it's best to destroy Star Trek.
Comcast is like being in an abusive relationship, will treat you like crap and when you leave they tried everything to not let you and then once you do they say they'll be back. 😁
If Comcast/Universal/Peacock buy Paramount. Dick Wolf would have the majority of tv dramas on one owned network. FBI franchise is his and is on CBS. Law and Order is NBC and Chicago shows are NBC
I am in the camp of having Apple buy Paramount. Apple is making some really great stuff right now. I can only imagine what they could do with the Star Trek franchise.
Question for Luke. Just got a Tablo 4th Generation. The problem is it keep freezing up after 5-10 minutes on my Roku. It not my Wi-Fi and it work fine on my Firetv. From what I hear the problem is with Roku since the new updated software. How do we get Roku to fixed this problem. I try to contact thembut got nowhere.
I don't know much about Skydance Media, but I hope they do buy Paramount +, as I can not trust Warner Brothers Discovery at all, especially with how they treated productions like Batgirl, some equity groups would be good too.
Whoever keeps the price reasonable because as I see it now when I see prices of Hulu going to 899 and prices of other streaming things going up close to $10 clued an apple used to be five something it is now 999 which I don’t get no more I’d rather not watch it at all it’s ridiculous That you’re getting this amount of money for the streaming things but you know it is what it is so if somebody else to buy your company, I’ll probably look at something here and air with the like I do Disney and then get rid of it and then pick it back up later on And so on but if it gets outrageous if they leave it at 599 Paramont I’ll stick with them if they don’t somebody else buys it and raises the price to 799 or 899 I’ll drop it and continue just to watch Pluto or something else Doesn’t matter to me but them kind of prices I don’t pay every month. I’ve been a Paramount customer for years now because the price has been reasonable but who knows maybe Disney they’re not reasonable anymore Warner Bros. if they could keep it reasonable thank you God bless have a nice day.
Paramount + - I am curious if they will still be combined with Showtime since Paramount + just added Showtime. I’m also hoping they would continue to carry the Big Brother Live Feeds.
@@crosslink1493 LOL I know. That's why I don't understand why he says it's cord cutting. It's basically the same damn thing. I mean even satellite internet isn't cord cutting in my opinion.
I really like 5g home Internet for it's price. I think the customer base is starting to get educated on what "fast" really means. That and they don't want to pay a premium for Comcast.
I’m considering just using my unlimited plan as my sole internet since I can do most things on my phone. I also don’t game much anymore due to responsibilities and new priorities or don’t need fast connection.
Comcast lost our TV service last year and will be losing our internet service at the end of this much. As we are switching over to the new fiber service that has just been run in our neighborhood
Question for Luke: My fiber optic service will soon be hooked-up. I currently have Dish TV and pay for Paramount+/Showtime streaming service. I have Amazon TV, Samsung TV, and Apple TV for which I do not pay. When my fiber optic is functional, I intend to cancel Dish as well as my internet and land line phone with centurylink. What primary streaming service do you recommend for TV, and what internet service do you recommend? I will continue by cell phone service with Verizon. Thank you for your expertise.
I cut the cord basically 20 years ago I’ve been streaming and using indoor antennas for 15 or so years. Live in apartment building now have to use what they have it’s Comcast I don’t have cable just high speed business internet for streaming with a roku ultra
My elderly mother cancelled Comcast internet. She called Comcast to update her CC info for the Triple Play package she had and claims that the agent recommended that she drop Comcast internet and sign up for AT&T fiber optic because it was faster and cheaper. She claims that the telephone agent contacted AT&T and set it up. My mother subsequently cancelled Comcast home phone and downgraded the TV package
I haven't watched Luke's answer yet, but I would say that a single antenna would work, as long as you: 1) Use a distribution amplifier, and 2) Can run cable from the amplifier to both TV's
I still say I really want to see peacock and Paramount plus merge. I know they are competitors but they just seem so similar that it would seem like a natural fit to merge.
Fubo with the scrolling headlines on newscasts. In the early days Yahoo (I think it was Yahoo?) used to have something like that on their internet opening page, a simple listing of daily news topics with no storyline or images like you see now. You could click on those and get a more detailed story. Pretty nice as it gave you something like a 'notification' of what was going on nationally, internationally (maybe 15-20 headlines), and it updated periodically (every hour IIRC). Peacock and lack of a 'killer' show - I'm wondering how soon some of the other franchise shows will start seeing customer interest fall off, the Marvel super hero films, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc). I thought Marvel super hero films were already seeing a drop in theater attendance and Star Trek isn't experiencing new 'trekkies' coming on board.
I had Comcast and canceled TV, Internet because of cost and customer service. I also believe they have gotten political through MSNBC and that’s a turn off to many people.
Q: for Luke NBC UNIVERSAL owns the rights to Knight Rider series I have not seen the Knight Rider 2008 version added to the original as the follow-up why can you not find both. And in 86 the original was cancelled but they should have added the 2008 in 1986 as the follow-up. Why was that and what happened. Knight Rider historians did not clarify. Do you personally think it should have continued? Thanks Jr Cord cutter and Knight Rider historians follower.❤
I would like to see Apple by Paramount just for the catalog. It’s kind of strange. My friend was getting ready to start a Paramount+ series and for some reason Paramount+ canceled nine upcoming series.😊

Question for Luke. Who has the best price on internet in central Illinois, the speed must be at least 80/15 my cat 5 won't handle much more than 100 anyway.

New owner of Paramount? Anyone but NOT Disney. God I hate Disney!!

The speed thing is their only strategy. They can't or won't match the price.
Me too. Love the customer service I've gotten from them.
I canceled Comcast internet last year, because it went from $54.00 a month to $84 a month in a little over a year
Okay! Didn't you know that would happen when you signed up? I'm assuming it was a promotion for a certain time.
Disney? NO!!!!!! They have ruined too many things, they don't need to add Star Trek to that list.
Paramount seems to be active in destroying Star Trek on it's own
That won’t happen. Too many regulatory hurdles to overcome with CBS/ABC and the owned and operated tv stations in New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia.

@@STB-jh7odVERY TRUE!

Paramount Plus: Dead Service Walking.

Question for Luke: Is it true that Paramount Network will be sold to new owners what will happen to broadcast shows ?
If Comcast/Universal/Peacock buy Paramount. Dick Wolf would have the majority of tv dramas on one owned network.
FBI franchise is his and is on CBS. Law and Order is NBC and Chicago shows are NBC
Zero percent chance that the government would ever allow one company to own NBC and CBS. Won’t happen.
I am in the camp of having Apple buy Paramount. Apple is making some really great stuff right now. I can only imagine what they could do with the Star Trek franchise.
I really wish apple would sell drm free movies. They sell drm music, so you can play the files on anything.
That'd be terrible
Absolutely agree.
Question for Luke: I wonder if the Big 10 games are moving the needle much for Peacock?
Question for Luke. Just got a Tablo 4th Generation. The problem is it keep freezing up after 5-10 minutes on my Roku. It not my Wi-Fi and it work fine on my Firetv.

I cancelled crapcast eons ago! When they raised prices and demanded more for sports I don't want/need/watch/give a damn about.
Will fubo tv add tnt tbs and tru tv to its lineup of channels? Do you think Amazon prime will broadcast MLB network??
Viasat seems inexpensive, anyone have info?

When Warner and Discovery merged, they were canceling things left and right.
Netflix and Hulu are the only ones that's gonna survive. Peacock, Disney plus, Paramount, and Amazon should just give up.
I think Microsoft would be a dark horse. Pair it with its game streaming service and diversify the service offerings.
I dropped peacock because Netflix is getting the wwe content next year
I’m at 6.99 Netflix to save $
Paramount + - I am curious if they will still be combined with Showtime since Paramount + just added Showtime. I’m also hoping they would continue to carry the Big Brother Live Feeds.
Question for luke. Why is fiber internet connection considered cord cutting?
Its still a 'cord' like the coaxial used for other cable TV services, just a fiber optic strand instead of a copper wire inside the cord.
@@crosslink1493 LOL I know. That's why I don't understand why he says it's cord cutting. It's basically the same damn thing. I mean even satellite internet isn't cord cutting in my opinion.
Wait I thought CBS owned Paramount, what about Showtime?!?
Paramount owns CBS
CBS is coming out with some great new shows plus I like their old ones.
CBS isn’t going anywhere. Cable nets are dying though.
@@chrisfamos which streaming channels are best for CBS content?
APPLE or WALMART, just makes sense.
does star trek go with paramount in the deal if not the company is worthless.
Does T-MOBILE CARRY LOCAL STATIONS AND NEWS
I want Sheinhardt Wig Corporation to buy out Paramount
I hate to hear this. I am not impressed with what has happened to the other major studios...
For me Peacock's killer shows is it's coverage of professional cycling sports ( I know I am in the minority)
I watch their Tour De France let's me know it's almost appropriate (winter is over) for me to ride my bike again.
I really like 5g home Internet for it's price. I think the customer base is starting to get educated on what "fast" really means. That and they don't want to pay a premium for Comcast.

I switched to T-mobile 5G for both phone and internet and I've had good experience with them.
Yes, I have cancelled my Comcast internet.
Whoever buys Paramounth, I hope Paramouth plus stays around, because i like the service.
Same here
Same here also @@URLCrazyBeauiful1234
I do too. I really love star trek and the classic Nickelodeon Shows.
Anyone but Disney
More like anyone but Disney or Warner Bros.
Comcast lost our TV service last year and will be losing our internet service at the end of this much. As we are switching over to the new fiber service that has just been run in our neighborhood
we have the lowest speed for fiber and no issues...
Doesn’t Paramount own CBS? I just renewed Paramount Plus for one year combined with Showtime. How does this affect CBS and Paramount Plus?

😮QUESTION: My cable co., Service Electruc , is planning to go to a Tevo distribution. I have 5 Roku devices. Will I still be able to use them?
I hope paramount plus still brings back fire country and the lawman series
Should I be worried about Nickelodeon on cable with new shows or seasons being canceled? or paramount plus shutting down
My top two picks to buy Paramount are either Disney or Apple. I'd say Google should try it out but I doubt they're interested.
This is interesting to see want happens because I do have Paramount and I am a very happy customer with them !!
Warner brothers discovery let's continue bundle
Sounds like a smart move to me. Sell now while you can get the money.
Peacock has the new Ted Series
My elderly mother cancelled Comcast internet. She called Comcast to update her CC info for the Triple Play package she had and claims that the agent recommended that she drop Comcast internet and sign up for AT&T fiber optic because it was faster and cheaper. She claims that the telephone agent contacted AT&T and set it up. My mother subsequently cancelled Comcast home phone and downgraded the TV package
She may have been talking to a reseller not Comcast. They get commissions for new sales.
Sad to paramount go
Question for Luke: If i cut the cord, will I need antennas for both my TVs (on different floors of my house). Thanks
Make sure to watch tomorrow's video. I will answer your question at the end.
Yes, definitely yes. I cut the cord about 6 years ago and had to use an antenna for each TV.
I haven't watched Luke's answer yet, but I would say that a single antenna would work, as long as you:
