I watch too much TV. I have direct with all the premiums and because I was grandfathered I have all the San Diego channels and the east and west coast feeds of CBS, NBC, Fox, and ABC. I can watch a west coast 9 PM program at 6 PM.
The problem with streaming is that you can have a favorite on another service and you have to get that service. I can do Amazon Hulu and Netflix for less than my diretcTV but then my wife has a slew of favorite channels. So i don’t have a clear path to ,get rid of the satellite. two of our four adult kids just stream.
What I hated about television was its sense of immediacy. That doesn’t exist with streaming so I just watch what I want to, when I want to. And for me it is all ephemeral stuff. I don’t have “favorites” in the sense that I “never miss a show”. I just watch what’s free and looks interesting. If it costs money, I’m not interested.
When you don’t watch TV, you have not seen the ads and trailers, so the “hottest stuff” is not really hot to me. It’s just something I’ve not seen. And if the ratings are not great (three full stars at an absolute minimum), I don’t bother.
