I cut the cord 4 years ago and have loved streaming since then.

I know several that have Youtube TV and love it.

I haven’t done that yet.

One good thing is to share services.

A friend shares their Amazon Prime with me - and I share my Hulu (2 screens allowed, no commercials) with them. ($11.99)

I also have Paramount + w/ the Showtime bundle for $11.99 a month (5 screens allowed (meaning 5 people can be using the app at the same time), no commercials, cost a little more but worth it to me).

I found myself watching free YouTube alot more than any of these, so did finally get YouTube Premium ($12?) to go ad-free.

Lots of freebie stuff out there:
Roku
rumble
Freevee
Tubi
etc.

I think you can get basic ABC/NBC stuff for free. I know I watched a football game on ABC this winter.

A friend shares their cable account info with me so I can get channels using their cable TV provider like Bravo, History, etc. It doesn’t cost them anything to share it, which is nice.

So paying about $30 a month is great compared to the $150-$300 I used to pay a month with cable or satellite!

I've often wondered about that, but have never tried it in cases where a service allows more than one login, or screen. Have you run across any restrictions as to location? Can people in different cities, or even different states, login into the same account?

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

There’s a stream app called Kanopy. You have to sign up with your library card but it offers 10 free movies a month. Some really good ones and many higher brow offerings too.
