We are paying for Hulu+, ESPN+, PBS and Paramount Plus.
I pay $55/month for fast stream internet. Have an antenna for local channels and. Roku for streaming. There’s not enough hours in the day or days in the week to watch everything that interests me. Peacock streams first run movies and my must watch Top Chef. Kanopy is a free service that let’s you watch 10 free selections every month. Sign up with your library card. I started Sling but cancelled only two months later when they bumped up the month fee.
We cancelled DirecTV last February after nearly 25 yrs. $100 for 2 tv’s, DVR and near bottom tier package. We got Starlink high speed internet last June and started doing streaming on an old Playstation4 which one of my sons had left at home before moving out. It was clunky and awkward to use. We put a Roku on our main tv in January and we were off to the races at how simple it was.
On a whim during the black Friday/Monday sales I had subscribed to Hulu with ads for $2 a month and Peacock for $1 a month. Then we found Philo $29 for live tv which has a dvr playback type setup in January last year and Prime. So for $40 we get all the channels we were watching before. Throw in Pluto which is free and we cut our costs significantly. We downloaded the local stations apps which allow us to watch their live news broadcasts and then the recorded versions if need be.
We went from $110 for Verizon wireless internet which was tediously slow to highspeed Starlink for $99 a month and from Directv $100 to $40.
