By eosguide editorial · Last updated
Disney $50M antitrust settlement: YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers can claim a pro rata cash payment with no proof. File by Sep 8, 2026. Your payout scales with how long you subscribed, so all those months of (allegedly) inflated bills finally earn you something back.
