We discovered Amazon Prime streaming early last year. I dumped TV in 1997 and just started streaming on demand via Wi-fi. My family leapfrogged the whole cable/satellite tv thing.
You need the internet connection though. They charge for that too.
We cancelled and went with FIOS
I watch no TV except football and even that’s gone now due to recent events.
The wife watches every show that I would rather eat lead than watch.
But she votes conservative so I allow it :)
I watch shows on Amazon Prime.
Yes, that was a joke about the allowing part.
"There is nothing that the mind of man can devise that the mind of man can't circumvent.
Having said that, there is no physical way that inadequate old copper cable areas can be made to adequately deliver high speed internet service.
So some of us are screwed.
The only alternative is to campaign for a municipal replacement for city-wide high speed Wirelesss internet access. Unfortunately, as of now, No fiber optic internet service exists within a mile of our sub-neighborhood; result: increased doubled cost for substandard outdated internet access. To add insult to injury, There is no assurance that our local elected criminals will not abuse the customers any less than the greedy, Comcast and other grubby private cable companies do. Specially, in California, the situation may end up being worse!
