My husband insists on keeping cable. He has MLB network, NHL Network & NFL Network + the Red Zone during football season. He won’t give up cable even though I agree it’s a ripoff! I’m happy with just Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime & Peacock. 🤷♀️

I have both as it was cheaper to bundle cable/internet with my cable provider to have faster internet speeds than the fastest speed package my local phone company offered.
I have Amazon Prime w/a fire stick, I get select streaming services free with my Prime membership including local channels.

What do you think about Hulu as a streaming platform?
I want a platform that includes live local TV and channels (without the hefty price tag).

My husband has short term mem loss & knows how to use cable but couldn’t get the hang of streaming, so need to stick w cable. I did though just listen to No Lie w Brian Tyler Cohen’ regarding fox subscription.Fox is in negotiations to raise their subscriber fees. Listen here but also two links are

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: MORE Fox hosts on the chopping block after Tucker's firing on Apple Podcasts
Brian interviews the president and CEO of Media Matters, Angelo Carusone, about the cause of Tucker’s firing, Fox’s long-term financial viability, and how to help ensure that Fox doesn’t come back from this.

We have DirecTV (satellite) but we also stream Amazon Prime Video and several of the free streaming channels.

You can still get a lot of stuff using old fashioned free over the air tv too!

Do both. Question did you lose picture quality/ resolution when cut cable cord

We stream but it PMO that they include BLEEPING faux news on YouTubeTV. :'( I can't find the channels I need without those POS. Grrrrr

To anyone out there considering cutting the cord on cable….just do it! Get someone (younger/techy) to help you if you need to. They’ll be happy to hook you up and you won’t regret it! You’ll never. Look. Back!!!

The only thing I miss about cable is the DVR. When we switched to streaming during Covid so many of the shows that I watched were not filming and I have forgotten a lot of them. I now spend my evenings flitting from platform to platform trying to remember what I watch where and when.

I use TVTime to keep track of the shows I watch. I love it because it gives me reminders for when new seasons premiere, as well as the option to share reactions and vote for characters. It also tells you where you can stream. Even if you don't want to do all the extras, the tracking is very helpful.

This on IOS but there’s for Android too.
It’s free! 🐳📺📚💙

I’m streaming but can’t cut the cable due a certain family member who doesn’t want to learn how to stream- they prefer mindless TV running & channel switching. 📺

In my area the best internet is from the cable company and the cost of just internet is almost the same as cable.

Gave up cable a long time ago and never going back and if these streaming companies keep playing, I'll leave they asses behind too.

I've never had cable as an adult, so I don't really know what I'm missing...

I’m getting my mom a smart TV for Mother’s Day because I really want her to cut the cord.
It kills me that she pays so much for just a few channels.

I have cable internet and phone. I haven't owned a TV for over 20 years, so no TV cable is needed. I also don't use streaming services because 1) there's very little they offer that I want to watch, and 2) if I do want to watch something, I can usually find it online somewhere to download for free.

I haven't done it because it isn't cheaper once you have to subscribe to several streaming channels to get what you want and higher speed internet to handle all of the streaming. I may need to look at it again tho, it's been a while since I added it up and it's constantly changing.

In response to Fiona Bski.
I don't include the cost of internet in the streaming budget since I would have Internet anyway. I looked at what I would be paying (full price) for DTV, then that amount is what I have per month to spend on streaming entertainment.

Check out the home internet services from your phone company. We got Verizon 5G and it is fast AF and 1/3 the price of our cable company. They also often offer discounts on streaming services
