We have Firestick, and use YouTube TV, Paramount Plus, Netflix, Prime, and Discovery. Rarely if ever use Prime, but I have it for amazon, not TV. We use Netflix a lot.

We subscribe to Prime long term; BritBox until June 6; and Masterpiece until May 24. We'll drop those two now that we've seen what we wanted on them and take another if it has enough titles we're interested in viewing. Netflix deserves a fresh look. Last I checked we'd already seen what interested us, but I think they've upped their game.

Amazon Prime, primarily. But that includes some additional 'subscriptions'. Otherwise, I also subscribe to BritBox and Acorn as I am devotee of British shows. I signed up with Hulu for $.99/mo last year for a Black Friday special but will drop it before this year's BF price increase as it hasn't appealed all that much. I've also been a Netflix member since they mailed out DVD's but I watch it rarely and have gone back and forth about dropping it. The content has changed dramatically over the years.

I watch almost no network TV so rely on streaming for almost all of my viewing.

We have a Fire stick and enjoy some of the free offerings, like Tubi, Roku (some derivative of it, anyway), FreeVee, YouTube, and more. We have Prime, and a subscription to Netflix. I think we still have a subscription to Hulu. There’s a few people in the household so we don’t all watch each other’s services regularly.

I do like Netflix, there is usually something new or old I am happy to watch, or at least have running in the background while I do other things.

Favorites on Netflix include Queer Eye and The Great British Baking Show. And Seinfeld, which I'll put on as a time-filler, since they are short. And movies, when one catches my eye.

“I think we still have a subscription to Hulu.”

And therein lies my problem. I could tell you what I think I have. Maybe there are more. Maybe there are less. But definitely the one that I need tonight is not on my list.

This a la carte stuff sounded great at first, but at this point I wish I could go back to subscribing to a premium cable package and know I can pretty much watch anything I want.

We pay for:

AppleTV+

Paramount+

Peacock

HULU

(We have Paramount and Peacock for footie matches)

We dropped Netflix when they announced their most-recent price hike.

We have Amazon Prime until December, but we will not be renewing.

I pay for ad-free Amazon Prime and Netflix. I rarely watch Netflix, but pay for it because my mother likes it. I mostly watch YouTube with ads for free. I do not have any cable or network service.

I think you have to see which streaming service offers you the best selection for your particular tastes and, as others have posted, you may need to change which services you use as the offerings can change or get repetitive.

This query seems to come up regularly...

That said, we have Netflix, Hulu, Prime, PBS Passport, and rotate between free trials, which tend not to get used and therefore discontinued when the trial is up.

There's plenty of free stuff on Roku - and I also watch free on YouTube more than anything else now, it seems.

We only have Netflix.

I have Hulu and Apple TV (which I should drop because I never watch it). My daughter in law added ,me to her Netflix and pays for it, but I seldom watch it, I have a friend's password for Max so I can stream White Lotus. I won't give my $ to Amazon, so have never had Prime.

@Olychick - there are some really good shows on Apple right now - The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking, Your Friends and Neighbors, and my favorite/watch over and over: Ted Lasso.

Thanks, I signed up so I could watch Ted Lasso, then found the Morning Show. I lost interest in both of them after a while. I'll check out the others.

They are doing a spin-off from Lasso. I hope it's a continuation of an idea planted in the series finale. Since you haven't seen it (and may eventually find your way back to it), I won't say more, but I'm really looking forward to it. Shrinking has one of the Lasso actors in it. :)

I really liked Severance, and there's a new season, but I'll wait for another free trial offer.

Also just finished watching The Residence on Netflix and really enjoyed that as well.

Youtube TV

Netflix - we too since the start with CD/DVDs in the mail. It's a local company, we know and have known people who work there.

Amazon Prime - comes with Prime membership

Peacock Plus- free bonus from internet provider

Hulu and others off and on, we'll subscribe if we hear of something we want to see and then turn it off when done. Usually ;-)

I thought Lasso was a great series, and I don't usually like or watch sitcoms. I'll hope the next installment lives up to the standard set by the first three seasons.

Edit to add

I left out MHz, an add on service that features mostly European "series" of limited episodes. Some of which are really good.

None of them but I do subscribe to BT Sport for my partner. I wear my headphones so I do not have to hear moronic sports pundits in the background (my house is small).

Amazon Prime & Paramount +

None here. I watch broadcast TV news, PBS and some old movies. When working there are a few home shows on Samsung plus free with the TV, like TOH and Ask TOH channel and such. I bought a roku a couple years ago and it's still in the package - will look into using it next winter.

All our TVs are Samsung, and so we watch free Samsung Plus streaming channels, and this provides us with enough viewing options. We have fewer local channels here than we did in L.A., but that is not that much of a problem.

We added the free version of Roku and have been watching old Ozzie and Harriett episodes, going back to 1952 - I did not know it was that old. When we last visited Austin a couple of years ago, we stayed in an Air BnB that had Roku TV - the paid version, which we liked because it had RuPaul's Dragrace from several different countries, and we watched a lot of that. We have decided not to upgrade to the paid version here, but we might change that later.

Other services we watch, but not that often, include Amazon Prime, Youtube, and Tubi.

With Samsung, we get lots of home shows, many from Britain and Australia.

YouTube TV, YouTube, Discovery Plus, Amazon Prime, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Netflix, Freevee. I subscribed to Hulu to watch "The Great," then canceled it. Had Disney Plus for free for a year but I do not think I watched it much and did not continue the subscription after the free year.

Amazon Prime, because I want Prime services anyway and it comes along. I enjoy a lot of stuff on it. In addition to that, I cycle through a bunch of other options for several months at a time (4-6 months?). Apple TV+, Britbox, Acorn, Criterion Channel, Paramount +, and Crave (Canadian - carries HBO stuff).....sometimes I subscribe to two or three at a time, sometimes just one or two. There's no HULU here, and I might consider Netflix or Disney+ only if there's a particular show I'm interested in.

I don't have cable and haven't watched any "regular" TV in about a dozen years - I either stream content, or watch DVDs.

I've cancelled Netflix for now (finished The Residence)

peacock is a favorite (poker face season 2 today)

amazon prime with acorn (currently catching up on the little drummer girl)

apple tv (need to pause, save a few $ until new season of slow horses)

max (the last of us, cooking shows)

hulu (hacks, handmaids tale - recently gave up live tv)

its a lot to keep up with - i share with my mom and daughter too, so that helps to justify the cost

I saw an add recently for some service that would help you save money. The first thing it touted was finding and cancelling streaming services you'd forgotten you were paying for.

I know I am *cheap*, but really? You don't look at your CC statements?

Not everyone has CCs - or even bank accts - and many younger folks these days use Venmo & similar apps instead of traditional credit co.s.

" Not everyone has CCs - or even bank accts "

If you have in mind people who live under bridges and work only for cash, fine. Otherwise, other than the poorest of the poor and others here lacking documentation, I can't see how anyone could take this comment seriously.

To use Venmo, you need to have a bank account, a debit card (usually the same thing) or a credit card. They issue them or you can use any other one. Zelle is about the same but I believe bank accounts only.

Pluto TV, Tubi, Max, and Peacock on my Roku TV
