Anyone have suggestions for the best streaming service?
Me

Posted on 02/26/2023 8:02:10 AM PST by V_TWIN

Cut the cord and kicked directv to the curb last year and did my research for a streaming service.

After comparing plans, prices and content I settled on fubotv.

While I was happy for a while fubo just forced a regional sports network (RSN) package on my plan that I can't opt out of and used it as an excuse to jack up my monthly fee by $30......that's the end of fubotv as soon as the next billing cycle is up.

I'm leaning towards youtube tv.....anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

If you stop watching TV your life will improve by leaps and bounds. No TV service is better than another: They all suck. #KillYourTV

What’s wrong with saving on your TV’s DVR for free?

A good antenna can pull in from up to 100 miles away, unimpeded.

Right now youtubetv is $55 for the 1st 3 months then goes to $65......all in with taxes it’ll end up being around $74.

Same here. Roku TV let’s us get to Newsmax and one America with just an internet connection.

I have a indoor antenna that picks up local programming and the alphabet channels. I have an app on my Roku to get this. “Live TV”.

no charges

I put an HD antenna in the attic way back because of directv being prone to signal loss during storms......there’s just some programming I’d like to get that the antenna can’t provide.

Honestly I believe Apple TV Roku and fire stick all work fairly well but the problem we run into is the cable companies still try to force you to have cable access the easiest way to avoid this is to have the apps on your phone that you pay for and stream directly from your telephone to your television with an HDMI cable that’s what I discovered I think you could also do it with wireless personal hotspot boosters if anyone has a better idea please tell me

They keep prices low by not carrying sports or news (except cheddar news. That I have never watched)

The friend I share Prime/Hulu with lives in Missouri and I live in Ohio. Also share my Paramount + with Missouri friend and a friend in Arizona. Never has been an issue.

On one hand we say phooey to WEF’s “you will own nothing, what you have you will rent.” But on the other hand we pay subscriptions for movie and show streams that we don’t get to keep and in one way or another end up funding the Beast and Hollywood. Even fast food restaurants have been hijacked by some form of woke mafia. So choose your poison. Who’s hands is your money ending up in?

I recommend pawn shop, thrift store, garage sale or used ebay dvds. I just got 5 complete seasons of Smallvielle (ugh - I know) out of the free bin.

Like Gollum said in Lord of the Rings, “DON’T TAKE IT TO HIM!”

I recommend getting together with friends and sharing accounts.

I pay for Hulu with this $2 a month deal and Amazon from my prime membership. T-mobile has given me Apple TV. My ex got Netflix as some benefit for her cell phone plan, and I get Vudu with my walmart premium subscription (Which is paid for monthly with their 5 cents-off-a-gallon discount)

Then we share. I’ve got so much TV content it’s crazy. I’m missing someone with an HBO account so I can watch their terrible, woke programming as well.

A lot of people also use airwaves signals which pull in quite a few things to your television much more than they used to

I had a friend who was an Amazon installer and he gave me a loaded fire stick five years ago which was a godsend I just plugged it in and he had everything you could put on it and I didn’t pay a penny except 150 bucks I gave him for the stick
I also use Apple I probably have a half dozen streaming apps like Paramount+ it Cetra on my phone that I pay for that I run directly to my television as well as some of the free apps with commercials like Hulu and let me warn you Hulu commercials are extremely woke
Everyone is black or gay or transsexual

I have to pay for Internet, but I stream on several different TV’s around the house using the wifi from that internet. Nothing is hard wired in except the modem in my office.

Two TV’s have a firestick, and my main TV is a ROKU tv.

I had Roku TV years back but I wasn’t satisfied with the selections. I may revisit it soon.

Thanks, I might try it with some acquaintances. I also have Paramount+ which is a pretty good deal at only $5.99 a month.

May or may not be applicable to you situation but...

I use a Roku device which offers many “free” viewing options. I added Amazon Prime even at its current price it averages out to less than $20/mo for movies, shows, music, and “free expedited” shipping on chinese trinkets. Recently added Discovery+ for $7/mo which has most things I watch anyways. Whole setup is supplemented with a Plex media server for my DVD/music/audio book collection.
