I used to use a family member’s account as well. The CEO himself said that was allowed.

That said, I deleted Netflix off my device - much of what was showing up on the “trending” section and “new” sections are smut and I didn’t want to be associated with it anymore and I wasn’t using it much to begin with.

There are so many free streaming services now, coupled with the increasing number of channels for free over the air with an antenna (about 60 where I am) to supplement these streaming services, I see little point in paying for anything since there is more material than I would be able to get in a lifetime already with these available services.

Yep. The only one we pay for is Amazon Prime. And we had it for a year before we even know about the streaming service.

The “trending” list is pretty useless to us. We find stuff by searching. BTW, on Amazon prime, I found a TON of videos on the “Rockabilly lifestyle”. Fascinating, fun, and sometimes creepy (tats) but interesting, nonetheless. Especially if you are into old cars. I was also in a Rockabilly band a few years ago. It was a lot of fun - but we were not part of this “lifestyle”, which has gone international, BTW.

I congratulate you for a thoughtful approach to the trending times, which IMHO, are not worth much.

Plus, there are more and more conservative offerings. Losing Fox has not been as bad as I thought.

We have Townhall, The Federalist, Just the News. OANN, Newsmax plus others, and I know there will be more.

For entertainment there is Hallmark, which if forces make them change their appeal there will be another Channel to offer decent viewing.

Gone are the days of conservative voices not being heard and more of the voices coming out.

I am optimistic.

But google and netflix are especially loathesome.

Yep, I have a:
-Tablo hooked to a OTA antenna and external HDD for recording
-Roku with KlowdTV app (for OAN, of course)
-Newson app for local news (in case I want to be nauseated and don’t want to watch a live local news broadcast on my Tablo)
-Amazon Prime
Oh and I use the local library for the more obscure DVDs that I like to watch.
Did I mention that I rip all my DVDs to my Synology NAS which has a media server function for streaming?

Back it all up on idrive.
