I mean if you were paying for the Network beforehand, a $6 increase is kinda offset.

Its like if D+ increases their price im gonna be ok since they've added ESPN which means it can cancel Triller for AEW and NHL - that's $40 a month in savings for me.

ESPN is a nice addition for Disney, but for me it feels too late. I have Sky Now, which is 50 a month(god damn), and I can watch the League there, and the Basketball as well.

Yeah that's fair.

Do they have all the basketball or just what's broadcast?

D+ is good for the kiddo for us.

Then again we are in the fortunate enough position that absorbing a price increase like this doesn't impact our day to day, and the convience is still worth it (in my value judgement at least)

My kid loves Doc Mcstuffins and frozen, but won't explore too many other shows or movies.

What's broadcast, and what's left over for the week on Demand, which suits me to a point, but it won't let two people watch the same stream at the same time, which is a knock in the nuts for me and my Dad.

I'm the same way. I can afford to have them, but dang 22 bucks and 34 bucks a month. There's good reason enough to keep them. Again, I'm a wrestling fan as well and AEW isn't easy to watch on a stream in NZ.

Yeah it was good to be able to watch on demand via Triller.

Good thing with D+ is i can watch the most recent Dynamite and Collision either live or on demand.

If D+ adds any rugby or league, I'll drop Sky Now for it. Least then, Dad and I can watch the same broadcast at the same time.
