An I the only one still paying for cable TV? I have cable, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount, Disney, Amazon video, HBO Max AND a million other free sites?

[DrPepper12]

I also jailbreak Amazon fire sticks and have that too. I'm I the only moron left?

[Kaneki05]

Cable still exists? Now that's funny. Won't do by the time I'm older I guess, as willing to bet most people who pay for it aren't my generation.
Unless some real crackdown comes upon watching stuff for free then that's always the way.

[OddBeMe]

My wife NEEDS to watch baseball games live. And apparently it’s such a racket that you HAVE to subscribe to DIRECTV to watch realtime games.

[DrPepper12]

I get it. I need to have premier League soccer and NHL hockey live. MLB baseball is just a plus. That's all I watch on cable is live sports!

[OddBeMe]

It’s a racket. They got deals with direct tv and others and even the some games are blacked out. Had to vpn a game on my MacBook so she didn't freakout.

[Lynx122]

Yes you are ^^ I watch stuff on

for anime the first link and the second one for movies and tv shows and then I also have one for kdramas or just Asian shows in general but the one I liked the most got shut down so I don't have a go to place atm I have to find a better site. And I get netflix for free from my girlfriend.

The irony is, I jailbreak fire sticks for friends and family and she still refuses because it requires pressing multiple buttons!

[Aubrey97]

We still have cable because my boyfriend needs his sports and that's the easiest way to get them all. We get Netflix like one month a year so I can watch the Great British Baking Show and we try to find some other stuff. We do the free trials occasionally for Hulu and Paramount but he definitely prefers TV over all the streaming even though he knows it costs a bit more.

[DrPepper12]

Tbh live sports are about all I watch on cable. I get it.

[Apple1996]

Probably I only ever had cable once back in 2016 because it was on some deal with the internet. After that deal expired I never went back

[DrPepper12]

You are smart. I've been battling my wife to ditch in for over a decade. She's stubborn!

[Apple1996]

Sling is pretty similar to cable. Maybe you could convince her to switch to that

[Nikki1989]

We have none of that. If I find an album or movie that interests me, I will buy the CD or Blu-ray. I have zero interest in streaming.

[DrPepper12]

Wow!! You are an old soul I would love to play Scrabble with by the fireplace!!

[LiamJHayden]

I have Amazon because I order so much that having Prime is a good deal even if just for delivery.

I dropped Netflix. If they add something I want to see I will sign up for a month, binge, then cancel again. I can afford the $20/month easily, but why waste $200 when I can get everything I want in two months per year?

I get Disney+ for free, but hardly ever watch. My friends' kids do when they come over.

[llorando]

No, I know quite a few people who still pay for cable TV, I myself had cable TV till last year, then I made the switch to DirecTV stream. The price was getting ridiculous and the picture quality was slowly went down hill (bit rate kept going down to make room for faster internet). I know DirectTV is one of the priciest, but it has the best picture and sound quality of all the live tv streaming services, plus it's the only streaming service that carries C-SPAN.

[NathanDavis]

my (basic) cable TV is included in the internet bill... I only get Netflix when is worth to watch some, less than half a year

anything else... I'll find it on "stream"

[dustybiker2]

You might be. My mum had her cable on autopay. $200 a month for a damn DVR. Pisses me off how many companies screw over the elderly living alone, until family catches on. Same with the appliance insurance. Yearly. WTF? Could buy all new ones five times over in the receipts I found over twenty years.

[bobby_bush_eater]

I pirate most things nowadays. My parents pay for a few of the services so I use those but for the most part I'm pirating

[DrPepper12]

Smart!

[Iron_Man]

I pay for cable TV from DIRECTV now to Comcast Xfinity. I pay too much per month Dr Pepper

[DrPepper12]

Damn right! Did you know back in 1997 Congress had an opportunity to eliminate cable boxes and go straight to direct to device platforms and the cable companies fought it and won which is why they charge rental fees for their boxes 27 years later! Fucking hate lobbyists Which is why I support public campaign finance. Eliminate the corruption! It's worth it funding these campaigns so they actually answer to the people instead of lobbyists.

[Iron_Man]

Yes it’s not good at all

[Iron_Man]

I found the perfect video for you hours ago now you’re on I’m gonna play it for you

[Iron_Man]

I dropped my package down to local network channels. I’m paying cheaper money now.

[IslaTheWitch]

I have Polish TV via internet, Netflix, Disney+, AmazonPrime with Paramount+

and I have no time to watch :D

[exitseven]

I have FIOS internet, TV and phone. I do not subscribe to any streaming channels. I share passwords with my kids. I get Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, HBO, Prime and Fox Nation.

[Sevenpointfive]

you don't know that everything you can imagine is free streaming on the internet? you already pay for that so why pay more when you can cast?

[AviatorTom]

We got rid of cable about 5 years ago. We subscribe to streaming services via Internet.

[Kelly6]

@DrPepper12 thats too much

[DrPepper12]

Tbh Hulu, Disney and ESPN are free through Verizon and we steal my SIL Amazon but even still! I didn't even mention Spotify!!

[Caroline91]

Probably?

[douride2]

I still have cable tv to.
