FuboTV drops its cheapest plan, now starts at $70 a month

By Phil Nickinson Published April 21, 2022

FuboTV has quietly dropped its least-expensive tier, making the $70-a-month “Pro” plan the starting point for the streaming service. That’ll get you 110 channels, including your local broadcast affiliates, and the price is right in line with Hulu With Live TV, which has around four times as many subscribers as Fubo. YouTube TV, believed to be the second-largest live streaming service in the United States with 3 million subscribers as of October 2020 (the last time it gave updated numbers), remains at $65 a month.

The Pro plan also gets you 1,000 hours of cloud-based recording, and the ability to watch on up to 10 devices at once on your home network.

The Elite package is still in play and will get you 162 channels total, with the same cloud-based recording and simultaneous screens. The additional channels include nine in the “News Plus” section, and 43 that are part of the “Fubo Extra” package.

FuboTV in February announced that ended 2021 with 1.13 million subscribers, up 106% for the year. The company is expecting to end 2022 with around 1.5 million subscribers.

Along with YouTube TV, FuboTV is one of the only ways to watch the occasional live event in 4K resolution. Unlike YouTube TV, which charges extra for 4K support, FuboTV throws it in for free.

FuboTV is available on every major streaming platform, including Roku and Amazon Fire TV, which cover the top platforms both in the U.S. It’s also available on Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, various smart TV systems, and in a web browser.

Fubo adds one of YouTube TV’s best features

The Fubo app icon on Apple TV.

In a change that might actually move the needle toward taking over the No. 3 spot in the (don't call them) Streaming Wars, Fubo has added a feature that until now has been reserved for the No. 1 player.

That is, you can now record as much streaming TV as you want on Fubo. As in unlimited. As in the same as what YouTube TV has had the whole time. And that's a pretty big deal for a number of reasons.

Samsung prices its entry-level S85D OLED TV starting at $1,700

Samsung S85D 4K OLED TV.

In January, Samsung teased that it would be adding a new line of OLED TVs priced below the S95D and S90D. That new model is the S85D and we now know that it will come in 55-, 65-, and 77-inch sizes, with prices starting at $1,700. This puts Samsung and LG on an even playing field in terms of OLED pricing, at least as it relates to LG's OLED C4 lineup.

Samsung has also confirmed new sizes for its S90D OLED TV, which will now be available in tiny (42-inch) and huge (83-inch) versions in addition to the previously announced 48-, 55-, 65-, and 77-inch models.
