Two genre packs on top
YouTube TV sells Sports Plus and Spanish Plus as genre packs. Its other add-ons are single premium networks, which this criterion does not count.
With YouTube TV’s entertainment bundle, you get three premium services for $29.99. Bought separately, HBO Max (without ads), Paramount+ Premium, and Starz run roughly $44.50 a month, so the bundle saves you about $14.50. It may seem pricey, especially since you’ll be paying it on top of YouTube TV’s already costly subscription, but it could be worth it if you’re looking to get a first-rate entertainment package.
HBO Max alone gives you access to HBO’s critically acclaimed shows, Warner Bros.’s blockbusters, and Discovery’s many wildlife features. But coupled with Paramount+ Premium and Starz, you get prestige dramas, trendy comedies, and insightful documentaries on top of all that, not to mention YouTube TV’s unrivaled DVR storage feature and lengthy live channel list. It’s a bundle tailor-fit for TV and film enthusiasts.
Access to Paramount+ and STARZ is on YouTube TV only, offers direct access to HBO Max platform
Sign up for Ent. Plus Add-onWhile it had its start as a video hosting site, YouTube was relatively late to the live TV streaming game, with players like Sling TV and DirecTV launched a few years before. By the time YouTube TV launched, content distributors like Showtime were already being offered as a premium add-on to some of these streamers, so it's no surprise YouTube TV took it upon themselves to create this handy bundle.
Already, YouTube TV has a large channel line-up that could fit the whole family's needs, but this is a bundle best suited for film & TV enthusiasts that want to have their favorites locked and loaded on-demand as well.
