Account, payments & subscriptions

[RichardCM]

I noticed today that my bill went up $15 since last year, and $5 increase the previous year for a total of 30% increase in 2 years. I would like to know the reasons behind such a decision. The channels don't have a better resolution or better programs than 2 years ago. At that pace, in the next 4 years, my bill would have augmented by almost 100%.

What subscriptions? Many of the services have increased prices. The reality is that most of the big-name streaming services are NOT profitable. If it wasn't for the big money behind Disney+, Amazon, Paramount, Hulu, they would not even exist anymore.

I received a shock when Fubo’s monthly charge went from $69.99 to $88.99 this month. That’s a 27% increase in price from last month’s payment. I will be canceling this outrageous overpriced subscription!

Fubo has lots of sports channels. That is where all of your money is going. They are justifying in noting they added 70 channels. They are also imposing an RSN fee is some areas.

I'm not sure they understand your comment. Roku only passes along the subscription cost that is set by the company that owns the subscription channel you sign up for, They probably get a small fee from the company but I don't think it affects your price, for example Disney+ is 10.99 on Roku and on Disney+ site. So no difference, The only difference may be when they run special deals then Roku might not have that. So to ask or complain about the pricing you'd need to talk to the company of the channel (e.g. Disney).
