The price.
If you believe that is too high. Then you really have no understanding of how expensive it is to produce and transmit content
The price.
We have one(tv) DVR box for Comcast and can basically replicate the tv watching experience, including access to dvr recordings, on any device with the Xfinity stream app or web browser. There isn’t an Xfinity app for my Apple TV but trough the Xfinity authentication process I can watch recent episodes through the actual TV stations app(Fox, nbc, abc etc) at no additional cost. Because of this I haven’t tried air playing from my device to the Apple TV.
For my situation this is a better solution although I can’t imagine 6 TVs needing all of these features at the same time.
Basically Vue (and others like YouTube TV) lets you have 6 user profiles, each with their own favorite channels/shows and DVR catalog. My household of 6 is nearly all Apple (only a few Android devices) so I have several Apple TVs and a PS4 (I don't prefer sticks, but if I were to set up the hypothetical scenario, sticks would work fine with Vue and be much less expensive than an AppleTV in every room). But 6 people accessing their own DVRs from any TV or iPad or mobile device, with no limitations of recording X, Y, Z shows while watching A, B, C shows in other rooms while also accessing DVRs on the road (or at lunch), is something Comcast can't match for the price. Vue also authenticates through the same TV station apps (Vue is part of TV Everywhere, as well as SSO for tvOS and iOS). So you get all of the same features of Comcast/Xfinity, plus additional features (multiple profiles with DVR), without any hardware leases or needing to have that "one box" somewhere in the house. I can get any internet provider I want and keep all of that personalized entertainment compatible with all of the hardware I already own. Eventually I might have 6 Apple TVs around the house, or the PS Vue / YouTube TV App might be available on the TV itself. But I won't go back to Comcast right now, there are just too many better and more flexible options out there.
Internet is as low as $20/mo for 100mbpsWhat’s your monthly fee for the PS vue again including your monthly internet service? Also does it include local sports?

For the past year I had the highest tier on PSVue at a promotional price - $55/mo included HBO/SHO + sports. Before that it was $65. I dropped it beginning this month for non-budget reasons. Current price would keep me under $100/mo for everything.

Heading to xfinity to see what the latest deals are. I doubt there’s a $20 for 100 mbps deal.

This is about as good as it gets with Comcast in my neck of the woods. Hard to beat a $20 a month internet fee with that speed.
Seems like prices vary wildly all over the country. I pay $75 a month for 150 Mbps here in SoCal for FIOS from Frontier (used to be Verizon). My only other choice is Spectrum which is awful in my area.

That $20 is with autopay, ecobill, and a 12-month agreement credits, no hardware rentals, and this area happened to be min-50mbps before Xfinity doubled everyone's speed base. I'm sure it's not true 100mbps, but every time I check fast.com or similar I'm getting 80s/90s on wifi.This is about as good as it gets with Comcast in my neck of the woods.

No it does not..
My internet is through DSL. It is $49.99 per month for reasonable bandwidth. Cable alone was nearly $100 per month. So that cost went away. My cord cutting, cost-wise, has been a wash, but the major difference is that I cut the cord 4 years ago. I know the cable service bill would have gone up since then, and for me, I pretty much have 99%+ on demand access to the shows I choose to watch. No DVR, and that access can be from home or anywhere on my devices. I was able to make a clean break from the cable company.Most cable cutters I see post don’t mention this cost.
We just picked up the free trial and the YouTube TV subscription does include YouTube Red. I am not sure about Google Music.
