I don't use a set-top box I just had a computer sitting around I dropped 3 terabyte plus HDs in and we use Amazon, Hulu and Netflix plus we use the browser to get free stuff like AMC from my Dad's Cable account because he doesn't use the online stuff but they still make him pay for it. We use Amazon giftcards we get using Bing Rewards points that can be exchange for the Amazon gift cards, to buy digital media like ebooks and tvshows etc and download them to the hards drives.

We will probably drop Netflix soon because it seems like they mostly add foreign language stuff now. Whenever I check their "x" number of new shows/movies have been added in the last "x"number of days notifications there is maybe one I am interested in and the other 10 or more are either foreign language media or stupid reality TV crap. They used to have a lot of good British/UK shows but I think that is all getting siphoned off by britbox which may be what we replace Netflix with if the price is reasonable.

But whatever we do it will NOT be signing up for 20th century TV tech again. Broadcast TV (shows/movies that come on at a certain hour and are shown with loads of commercials) is dead to me. I watch without annoying interruptions that are delivered in the form of OVERLY LOUD OBNOXIOUS COMMERCIALS repeated ad nauseam during a show/movie and I watch such at a time that is convienent for me or I just don't watch. Life is too short for that repetitive mind-numbing crap beating on my brain constantly. Besides dropping all those commercials from the shows I do watch give me that much more time for the real fun, reading! Amazon/Kindle to me is like getting Christmas Presents anytime I wish. I just turn on the Kindle app do a search and use my Amazon giftcards to buy any book I want and it is delivered in a matter of seconds.

This is why I LUVS MY INTERWEBS! 😎👌
