28. Dropped YouTube TV and went back to Sling...

... save me about $40 a month on my Roku. As long as I get ESPN (Peyton and Eli is a great show while watching MNF), news channels and documentaries. Going back to Sling, I found they have much more documentary channels and I am a junkie. History major at Augustana University.

I have Netflix practically since it went, "on the air". At first they had some snags with closed captioning all of their programming. The Deaf and hard of hearing community flooded the Netflix CEO with complaints. He got right back to us within days and said, "Hold on! I am working with Microsoft to get this technology to work"! And no problems with captioning at Netflix since.

I am also curious if Netflix is going to be the "broadcaster", for the Maddow/Colbert and others show that has been mentioned. I had seen reference that Netflix is/was going to "host" them.
