fuboTV will offer unlimited cloud DVR, with for a price hike

Days after increasing its subscription fee, fuboTV has announced its plans to increase the monthly subscription charges again. fuboTV’s new pricing reflects a $5 increase in the monthly subscription fees, effective from January 10, 2024, for both new and returning customers. If you signed up on or before that date, your new pricing will kick in on your billing cycle from February 1, 2024. However, there’s a good part: subscribers also get unlimited cloud DVR with these new rates.

fuboTV increased prices for new and returning customers.

fuboTV has notified all users about this change via email. In case you missed the email, the streaming platform recommends checking your spam or junk folders. It noted that it has more than 70 channels in its basic package, including 10 radio channels in 2023.

You’d wonder why fuboTV has increased subscription fees. Well, it explains that this is primarily due to the costs associated with acquiring and maintaining high-quality content. The statement suggests that, occasionally, programming partners raise the prices they charge the streaming service for the content. These increases in licensing fees, production costs, and other related expenses can contribute to the overall operational expenses of the platform.

fuboTV’s available plans — and what’s changed.

fuboTV’s basic “Pro” package now costs $79.99 per month. There are fancier options too – the “Elite” one is $89.99, the “Premier” is $99.99, and the “Ultimate” is $104.99. But you can’t sign up for the “Ultimate” one if you’re a new subscriber. Also, fuboTV is adding $1 more each month for local live sports, which also applies to the Starz add-on.

The major highlight of fuboTV’s price hike is that it has eliminated DVR recording limits for all plans. So, everyone can enjoy unlimited recordings. This is a significant advantage similar to YouTube TV, but Google‘s service still provides this DVR benefit at a lower cost, as YouTube TV begins at $72.99 per month. We don’t know yet when fuboTV customers will get unlimited DVR recording, though.
