I have been on amazon prime since it started and I am very happy with the service. There is an endless amount of programs, documentaries and for a few dollars movies on demand.

Some of their programming is made for Amazon and is really first rate viewing. It’s well done and I think there will be more and more games f it in the future.

I joined Showtime as well and while a little expensive I think it’s worth it. I can cancel at any time.

I own a small flat screen TV which I have not hooked up since a friend gave it to me. I watch everything on my laptop. I’ve no need for cable at all. The cost for the internet alone is almost 100.00 as it is. Add cable viewing and it’s almost another 100.00 or more each month.

I enjoyed Man in the High Castle, then read the book, which was an undeveloped disappointment. I hope they wrap it up this year, though.

We have a 55” 4k set and own a lot of DVD’s and Blue Rays. We have also been Prime members for about a year. Living in the sticks it is a godsend.

We get all of our internet via our phone data plan. We were paying a LOT for 40 GB plan that would leave us throttled even after only watching a few Youtube videos. Streaming movies and TV was out of the question.

Then they told us about a 22 GB plan for around $70 a month Less, and it only throttles you if there is a lot of usage on your local towers based on current tower usage.

Well, as I said, we live in the sticks so there is no such thing as heavy tower usage out here. So we tried the plan. And then we noticed a few months ago that our Prime membership already came with tons of free shows, and it is built into our TV, so we logged in and gave it a try.

Our minds were blown! We have not put on a DVD since we discovered it and we have never been throttled. And I’ve seen ON DEMAND some old favorites, classics and really awesome documentaries (The 24 hour war is a must see). I even watched “A Boy and His Dog” free. I had not seen that one in decades and it had made an impression on me when I was younger. And a couple of GREAT indie films, Ink, and “Frame” really surprised us.

And since we have prime anyway, it’s all really free. That and our new data plan were game changers for us.
