Are you a YouTube TV subscriber who also enjoys the premium streaming options of services like HBO Max?
The good news for you is that the popular live streaming TV service just unveiled a new “Entertainment Plus” bundle that may be worth exploring.
YouTube TV users can now subscribe to three premium services for an additional $29.99 per month.
The new Entertainment Plus Bundle includes access to HBO Max, Showtime and Starz.
This add-on service is a charge in addition to YouTube TV’s monthly subscription fee, which has crept up from $35 to $65 in the last few years.
If you subscribed to all three separately as add-on services with YouTube TV, they would cost approximately $34.99.
This package will save you $5 per month over subscribing to all three independently.
Let’s be honest: A $29.99 monthly commitment is a pretty big deal.
Especially when you’re adding it on to an already steep $65 monthly charge for YouTube TV.
So I poked around the services and found that you may be able to test drive each of these services before committing to this monthly add-on fee.
According to YouTube TV’s menu, there are free trials available for all three services in this bundle.
You may be able to find an even longer free trial period by shopping with the streaming services directly.
If you’re already an existing subscriber of one or more the service on the Entertainment Plus bundle, you may be able to save some cash by converting to this offer from YouTube TV.
If you’re new to one or more of these services, you may want to opt for the free trials offered by either YouTube TV or the service directly to make sure that you’re actually interested in the service.
