| Currently all of the streaming services are belong to us. Considering trimming. Anyone else revisiting mix? 100% Keepers: * Amazon Prime (overall best value by far considering other Prime benefits) * HBO Max (best show and movie catalogue overall, Discovery+ layered soon) Unclear: * Netflix (several shows we watch, broadest range of Kids content and we have two kids… likely keeper) * Hulu (wife watches some shows…) Likely cut: * Disney+ (Disney catalogue, kids may eventually like more of the content but can add this back in the future) Not a fan of wasteful spend. We now have a good sense of actual usage over time, particularly with kids. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave Have you thought of the free streaming services that have ads? I use Tubi and all it took was just downloading the app on my kindle. They have the old Dark Shadows tv show. The old Batman and Shazam tv show. And other stuff, you do get ads but it's free so that's always good. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave I've been rethinking streaming services, too, and I agree with your assessment. We use Amazon for a number of services and did before streaming was a possibility. So my wife and I see their streaming service as icing on the cake. I really like HBO Max. It's the streaming service that I watch most. I'm a classic movie buff so I watch quite a bit from the TCM hub. Netflix I recently canceled but I am thinking of restarting it so that I can watch Sandman. Disney+ I only have because I get it free through a family member. My kids (16 and 13) almost never watch it. I seldom do, either. |

| Definitely, we have used free (ad supported) streaming in the past and continue to in addition to the paid services. Anything that has a lower tier “ad supported” option but also costs $ will be cut, however, if we decide to adjust the mix. The tough call is when there are must see shows. The only Disney+ show we’d really miss is The Mandalorian. Of course nice to be able to watch some earlier MCU too. We also watched Loki but by the end of the season we were less intrigued. Maybe we’ll just get Disney+ for one month per year lol. HBO is different because of the depth. Not a lot of kid-friendly content that we’re aware of so that still means Netflix is likely a must-have… Quote: Originally Posted by southerncross |

| Do you all pay for Disney Plus? Everytime I tell the family we don't need it, they tell me that we don't pay for it. They could be liars though. | ||

| What they need to do is bundle all the streaming services and offer them as 1 package - maybe you could pick and choose what you want in that package.......oh wait........ that's what cable was wasn't it..... I don't count Prime as it's a side benefit, we use my sister in-laws Netflix and we pay for Disney (I could probably drop it though as there isn't much - maybe enough to binge for a month or 2 a year? - my niece is like 7 though so presumably they are using it more than us?) no HBO up here but most of those shows are on Crave and then Apple TV - again - maybe pick these up to binge for a month when we are in lockdown in the fall/winter again? can only think of 2 or 3 things I would want to watch - but then I could just as easily not... |

Quote:Originally Posted by MutantMania My grandparents had a snazzy antenna in the mid 70's. Obviously there was the long rabbit ears, but it also had a large dial on the base that you could turn one notch at a time to help tune the signal. That's when you watched whatever was on that came in clearly lol.... |

| Dad is serious about his TV. Before cable came along he had a huge TV antenna that you could get inside sort of like a triangle shapped cage. It was probably about 100 feet tall. To further paint the picture, once we got cable, he donated his TV antenna to the local volunteer fire department. They still use it today to broadcast their signals. |

Is anyone familiar with this label? I noticed I have a couple books with the diamond plate design at the top. Was this just a passing thing?  |
