Hubby watches some shows/movies on Crackle.
Had Hulu streaming for a few months, but they have some problems for us, likely bandwidth. It plays better on my monitor than on the TV, so I just went back to free for the 2 shows per season I get hooked on. Commercials on both, so it is just a matter of viewing comfort and I don’t mind the monitor for 42 minutes 2x/wk.
When we got Kindles for each other about 2 months apart last year, we had Amazon Prime, but aside from the availability of current episodes/shows (that you still pay for) and the instant free shipping, it just didn’t appeal.
We don't use Amazon Prime either. We had the same deal for awhile when we bought Kindle Fires for the family. We use Amazon now to get the shows that are tough to find on the Free Internet. Our main purchase from them is the Walking Dead. You can get a fairly good digital download for about 3 bucks an Episode.
And when you figure the cost of Cable/Sat dish a month you can buy lots of episodes in a single month and still be less than half of an average monthly bill for either.
Our costs for TV used to exceed 100 bucks a month.
Now we spend less than 25 bucks a month on average which includes the cost of Netflix and any digital downloads we get from Amazon. Best part is most of what we watch has NO COMMERCIALS!
