YouTube TV is offering refunds to customers who lost access to Disney channels such as ESPN and ABC, but the details about the compensation haven’t been widely publicized, leaving many subscribers unaware they could receive a discount.
This live TV streaming service is popular with people who’ve canceled cable, particularly those who love sports, offering a wide range of coverage including NFL, college football, and basketball. However, it’s recently experienced several disagreements with content providers. The monthly price increased to $82.99, even after 20 channels owned by Paramount were taken off the service.
YouTube TV and Disney haven’t been able to agree on a new deal, so channels like ESPN and ABC are no longer available on the streaming service. Disney removed these channels on October 30th.
When the disagreement with Roku started, YouTube initially offered a $20 credit if the issue wasn’t resolved. Now, some users are saying they’re being offered something different: $10 off their monthly subscription for six months, which adds up to $60 in savings. However, you have to actively look for this offer to get it.
YouTube buries compensation deep in settings
Android Police noticed that Reddit users are reporting a discount on YouTube TV is hidden within the account settings on the website. To find it, subscribers need to go to the ‘Manage membership’ section, then the ‘Manage Base plan’ page on a computer. The discount isn’t automatically applied, so you’ll have to manually add it.
One user explained they’d never encountered the page before and wouldn’t have known to look for it. Another simply stated that it was very well hidden.
YouTube once mentioned a potential $20 credit for channels that remained inactive for a while. It’s now uncertain if that separate offer will still be available, or if the current six-month agreement has taken its place.
Although the deal brings the monthly cost of YouTube TV down to around $73, many subscribers feel it doesn’t make up for the loss of key sports content during football seasons – including the NFL, NHL, and college games.
One user expressed their frustration, stating they wouldn’t pay $72 a month for a service that doesn’t include sports, specifically mentioning the Hallmark Channel as an example of content they wouldn’t subscribe for without it.
