Who's excited for another streaming service to pay for on a monthly basis? My body is ready.

The content lineup is still in flux, but it looks like AT&T/WarnerMedia's new over the top internet streaming service will include HBO, CNN, DC Comics, Turner (cable channels like TNT, TBS, etc.), and Warner Bros. movies.

Wonder how much this one is going to cost...

In one way or another, cost will enter into it, but there is a lot more to consider. Bandwidth, Caps, Internet Access are only a few items. With everything going Streaming I see a lot more problems than just the cost of the service. The Average Bandwidth throughout the Nation is below 25Mbps, this will never be enough for all the Streaming people are going to want!

Great for those who already subscribe to FilmStruck, Boomerang, HBO NOW, and DC (which just came out)! Certainly not a waste of cash or anything!

3 different tiers with different pricing. Did these media conglomerates learn anything from Netflix? Simple pricing structures instead of something like a cable bill.

But Unlike Netflix the pricing only controls the quality you receive it in. Either SD, HD or UHD. Your not excluded from content at all on Netflix.

This seems to be the more you pay the more you get access to and no mention of if it will be HD or UHD from my understanding of what is out there.

This I would love to see launch in the UK. If I understand correctly and feel free to correct me Sky's contract with HBO stuff at least ends in 2020 and not sure about Warner TV like the Arrow verse but it could be a opportunity to actually launch a direct to consumer streaming platform.

They said it will be one price now.
