Google today announced the price of YouTube TV was going up from $40 to $50, in return for 8 more channels. The service, one of many which bills itself as an alternative to cable packages, is starting to look very similar to those same packages — and, like all tv streaming services, the prices are going to keep going up if it wants to offer more channels.

As the trade-off for a $10 price increase, Google is offering a new suite of Discovery channels. These will include the OG Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, Food Network, the Travel Channel, Motortrend, HGTV, and Investigation Discovery. It’s the second such increase for YouTube TV, which went from $35 to $40 last year in exchange for Turner network and sports channels. Also, if you’re billed through Apple, you now have to pay $55.
