Hello everyone, and welcome to our blog, YouTube TV Increases Price in 2025. If this price hike has you feeling frustrated, you’re not alone. We’re D3vicx (Devices), and we’re here to help you take control of your entertainment. Our speciality? Customizing and sideloading premium streaming devices so you can watch all your favorite paid TV content for free, anywhere in the world.

Yes, you heard that right: anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection, and with a jailbroken premium streaming device, you can say goodbye to expensive monthly bills.

But let’s talk about what’s happening right now. It’s the holiday season—a time for giving—but Google seems focused on taking. Remember their old motto, “Do no evil”? Well, as TV content prices keep rising, it feels like they’ve forgotten it. And what’s worse? The service isn’t improving—it’s actually getting worse.

Let’s take a step back. Do you know how much you’re spending on subscriptions every month? For most Americans, it’s around $300. What’s even more surprising is that many people underestimate their subscription costs by at least $100. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: people are tired of subscription fatigue. And honestly, who can blame them? It’s overwhelming.

Now, let me share something personal: do you know how much I spend on subscriptions every month? Zero. That’s right—nothing. And yet, I have access to all the content I want. Stick with me, and I’ll explain how you can do the same.

The History of YouTube TV Price Increases

Wow, YouTube TV has come a long way. Let’s take a moment to look back at where YouTube TV started and where it is today. Back in 2017, YouTube TV launched at just $35 a month, aiming to give customers a simpler, more affordable way to stream major sports and live TV broadcasts like ESPN.

At the time, it offered just 40 channels and was focused solely on delivering live TV without the bloat of traditional cable.

So, what’s changed since then?

Over the years, YouTube TV has steadily raised its prices. In 2019, the monthly rate jumped to $50—a price many considered reasonable compared to cable and its endless headaches. By 2023, the price climbed to $72.99. The platform kept its focus on live sports, offering major league games and a mix of popular networks through its Basic Plan.

Now, YouTube TV is introducing a new Basic Plan price: $82.99. This updated plan gives you access to over 100 channels, including major broadcast, cable, and regional sports networks. It also includes perks like unlimited DVR storage, six accounts per household, and the ability to stream on three devices at once.

But here’s where the experience might fall short: that “unlimited DVR” feature. It sounds great, but it can feel misleading. For example, when you see shows like Friends, Seinfeld, or Law & Order listed, you might assume they’re part of a streaming library. Instead, you’re being told that you can record these shows yourself to rewatch later. In other words, you’re paying more, but the work of managing your streaming experience is still on you.

This is worth considering as prices continue to rise. Is the convenience still there, or is it slipping away?

Why the Rising Cost of Entertainment?

Let’s talk about where it all began. Netflix turned the entertainment industry upside down back in 1997. Remember when we had to visit Blockbuster to rent movies?

It wasn’t just about the movies—it was an experience. You’d leave the house with your family, discover new releases everyone at school was hyped about, grab some snacks, and spend the weekend enjoying movie nights together.

The problem? Late fees. Those could ruin the fun real quick.

Netflix offered a new solution: browse an extensive online library of DVDs, rent them, and have them delivered straight to your door. No late fees, no hassle. Then, in 2007, Netflix introduced its streaming service. Thanks to massive financial backing, they were able to offer streaming at unbelievably low prices, making it a must-have for entertainment lovers.

This disrupted the industry in two big ways:

1. Competitors rushed to build their own apps and streaming libraries to compete.

2. Traditional cable took a back seat as streaming became the new normal.

But here’s where things went south—what some call “enshittification.” Once Netflix got us hooked, they started raising prices and tightening restrictions. Now, companies like Apple TV+, Disney+, and Netflix are doing the same, introducing ad-supported tiers and cracking down on password sharing. And, as expected, YouTube TV is jumping on the bandwagon.

If you’re tired of the rising costs and endless rules, there’s good news. The way they do business isn’t your only option. There’s another way to enjoy the content you love—legally, of course. This new way is called free streaming, let’s talk about it.

Free Streaming: An Alternative to Paying for YouTube TV

Welcome to the world of free streaming. Sounds too good to be true, right? But it’s real. I pay zero dollars a month for subscriptions. No cable bills, no overpriced streaming services. I even cancelled Amazon Prime years ago because it wasn’t worth the hassle. Now, I access every streaming library through my premium device—the Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro.

So, why the Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro or the Jailbroken Apple TV 4K? Simple: they’re premium devices built to last, unlike those budget-friendly Firesticks that barely make it a year.

The Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019) and Apple TV 4K (2022, 128GB) are hands down the best streaming devices available. With a few custom tweaks aka our Elite System loaded onto the device, these devices give you unlimited access to paid TV entertainment—for free. That’s not for a trial period or a couple of months. We’re talking 3 to 5 years of free access to everything, including YouTube TV’s entire library and more.

But how does it work?

Free streaming isn’t new. It’s been around for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was all about downloading and streaming content online. My desktop computer as a teen opened up a whole new world. Over the years, we’ve been through the evolution: downloading torrents, the first Jailbroken Firestick with the Beast build in 2013, Jailbroken Apple TVs in 2016, VPNs on Jailbroken Firesticks in 2018, and now, the crown jewel—use bring the Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro in 2020.

What you get with YouTube TV? Our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro offers so much more: every American and International TV channel, Sports channels, PPVs, subscription app libraries, DVR (instant replay), and so much more—all for a one-time cost.

We even offer an optional WAR ROOM membership on Patreon for $5 a month to keep your device updated and full of new features. That’s it—no price hikes, no nonsense. These devices were designed with you in mind. We focused on creating a simple, powerful solution and offer only the two best options. Why settle for less?

Why People Are Leaving Paid Subscriptions for Free Streaming on Jailbroken Devices

So why are so many people leaving paid subscription services and traditional cable? The rising cost of content is why. Why pay $400 a month for traditional cable with one sports package or even $82.99 a month for streaming it online—or even $22.99 plus $7.99 a month for just one extra person on your subscription account for movies, TV series, and some anime?

This price structure is insane. The cost of living, goods, and entertainment is skyrocketing, yet your raise at work is only 20 cents more than two years ago. People everywhere are fed up and searching for better options. Some turn to Kodi, which needs complicated build codes. Others experiment with Stremio, but that involves setting it up through torrent sites.

Then there’s IPTV Services. I wouldn’t recommend them—they’re illegal, sellers often get caught, and law enforcement could end up with your personal info. It’s a legal and financial mess you don’t want. Plus, why pay for something you can get for free?

That’s where Jailbroken Devices come in. Not just any device—I’m talking premium, high-quality devices. Skip the budget-friendly options like Firesticks (dodgy Firesticks), Onn Boxes, and low-quality Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pros or Apple TVs. They all have one thing in common: buffering, lagging, and annoying homescreen ads.

What people really want is something simple and dependable—a true plug-and-play device that comes with easy-to-follow instructions and real support. That’s exactly what we deliver.

Here’s why our Jailbroken Nvidia Shield Pro and Jailbroken Apple TV 4K are the best:

In Conclusion

Why are your prices higher? What makes your devices so special?

This is the question I love answering most. Let’s make this fun and play a quick game. Imagine we both get a brand-new Nvidia Shield TV Pro. Our goal? Load it with everything we need for free access to premium TV content.

Here’s what we do:
We dedicate two hours to carefully flashing the system and loading our Elite System onto the device. Then we spend another couple of hours running rigorous tests to make sure everything works seamlessly. Finally, we package the device beautifully and ship it to you the very next day, ready to plug in and play.

Now, here’s what your journey might look like:
You head online, eager to start. You find countless YouTube videos and Reddit threads offering tips and tricks. You follow a few, download some APKs, and get things up and running. Everything seems great—at first. But then, a few days in, buffering starts. Your favorite show won’t play smoothly.

So you’re back to YouTube, hunting for solutions, and eventually stumble on one of our videos. Then it’s back to Reddit, where everyone has an opinion but no real answers. Frustration builds, and your experience feels far from “plug and play.”

Here’s the difference:
We’ve built a tried-and-true system to give you the ultimate streaming experience, frustration-free. For the Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019, we:

• Flash the system twice, stabilizing the software with Android 9 v8.2.1.

• Adjust key settings, turning the right ones on and off for optimal performance.

• Remove bloatware and block annoying homescreen ads.

• Load our custom Elite System, organizing everything for easy use.

• Perform extensive testing to ensure it’s perfect before it gets to you.

This isn’t just about selling a device—it’s about delivering joy and saving you time. You’ll never have to stress over buffering, endless fixes, or misinformation. That’s the difference we bring to the table.
