While Cable is still a thing I think My Goto is HULU 1. Hulu 2. Disney 3. Netflix 4. Amazon 5. Tubi I don't have Apple TV and am considering replacing one of the paid ones above for it Disney/Hulu are joined Amazong is linked to other things I don't pay for Tubi Just dunno if I am ready to give up Netflix Rocket River
1. Netflix 2. HBO Max For #2; it's decent value. But with shows being cut, and a likely revamp next year for Discovery+WB, will decide if to keep (and replace with something else).
never heard of Tubi before Netflix is the only streaming service I pay for every single month…HBO Max and Hulu are my next most used ones, but I only pay for them if there’s some show or movie I feel like watching that’s only available on there same with Disney+ which I haven’t used in many months…I might pay for it again when Secret Invasion and Loki S2 come on
Heh, I use Tubi alot. Just power through some 70s and 80s slasher flicks. For you multi streamers, I can't recommend a Roku enough. It basically just serves as a gateway to all your services. So I just use the voice command to search in the Roku, and it will look in all my streaming catalogues to see if I have rights to something, then one button launch.
1. Netflix / D+ 2. HBO Max Then there's a big drop-off: Prime Freevee (formerly IMDB TV, owned by Amazon) Tubi Freevee and Tubi are both great for finding stupid bad movies that you forgot about or never heard of. This is the content we put on when we're busy and can't really pay attention to what's on the TV. Freevee also has the new Judge Judy show which I still watch. Netflix / D+ are a given because they have the kids content. So we can't get rid of them.
Hey...if you're going to mention Tubi, then why not Pluto TV? They are the same in my book albeit differing content and differing UIs.
Just ranked in order of how much I watch: HBO/Hulu Netflix Amazon ... Paramount/Apple/Disney (would be easy to cancel and resubscribe for a month when a series/movie I like comes out, but I don't pay for these 3 so whatever) The Roku Channel has some good stuff on it for free (I was looking on JustWatch for a movie I wanted to see again and it happened to be there, so I browsed around to see what else they had). It has about 5 25-90 second ad breaks for a 2 hour movie, which didn't bother me at all.
1. Prime - Their content is on the decline as of late and their new layout/menu system is buggy, but you can purchase and rent pretty much whatever's not already free. It's not ideal, but Amazon & Prime shipping makes it pretty much untouchable. 2. Netflix - Quantity over quality with just barely enough good **** to keep you coming back. If I didn't have a shared/free membership I would axe it with pleasure. 3. Hulu - A perennial also-ran, but they have movies and shows I actually like and their menu/layout is easy to navigate. Apple TV is on my radar for 2023, plus "Your Honor" on Showtime looks like something I want to watch in the near future.
YouTube Premium, use it for news, educational videos, music almost constantly Pandora for music outside of my office. Use it constantly on my Echos and in my car. Netflix I guess, **** their trigger happy canceling fingers but I get outvoted on this one and they do have good content Hulu HBO, they're going the same direction as Netflix since they canceled Raised by Wolves. Used to be my top platform. Kids watch Teen Titans Go nonstop. Disney+ for the kids. I'm not Marveled out but the quality went downhill so fast that the shows just weren't a priority. I still haven't watched Andor. Prime, just never think about it Apple+, would be in the top spot if they had more content
Just curious, what do you enjoy on Disney+? I just canceled it yesterday because I don't watch it enough. Star Wars shows have started to bore me, and I'm really not into Marvel / super hero movies. I can only watch Encanto and Frozen so many times.... Also, my 9 yr old and 6 yr old don't see this as a huge loss. They've only watched it again recently to watch Home Alone 1 and 2 again during Xmas break
Honestly now that you mention it . .. it really don't do much on it It basically has one show that hooks me in at a time. I guess it FEELs more necessary that it is Because of that ONE SHOW I think I am less likely to let it go .. .esp since it is matched with HULU I have a Roku TV but don't use it enough I will try to do better. I cannot say I watched anything on it. Paramount + and PEacock has gotten more viewing that Pluto AMC on my Prime gets alot of watching based on the POWERverse Rocket River
Scheduling. I watch SW stuff with my wife and oldest son and haven’t had the time to check it out yet.
1. D+ -- I watch the Marvel and Star Wars content as well as some of the movies. My dog loves the wide array of animal content, but her goto is the live action 101 Dalmations for when I want to cook without her under my feet. 2. Vudu -- Choose them early for where we buy movies/shows. We put on a lot of stuff we've bought on in the background while doing other stuff. 3. Netflix -- Stranger Things and Wednesday. Don't really watch anything else on Netflix. 4. Amazon -- Watch more stuff here than Netflix, but wouldn't have it if it didn't come with prime. During baseball season, Fubo goes to No. 1 and everythiong else drops a notch.
The only things I have are YouTubeTV and Amazon Prime. The Prime is really just for the shipping. After the newest season of all the new Star Treks come out, I look for a fee trial or cheap subscription to Paramount+ and watch those, then cancel. I have free tv apps like Tubi and PlutoTv installed, but rarely watch those. Outside of that, I don't think I have anything else. I may check out Amazon's FreeVee if I can put up with the ads.
#1 HBO. When we moved to Austin from Houston in the early summer of 1980, I discovered cable and HBO. Austin had had cable since at least the early '60's, a benefit of being the state's capital, I guess. Anyway, I've had HBO from one provider or another that long, and this merger really worries me. My initial reaction is that they're going to ***k it up, ruin a source of creative programing that fumbled from time to time, but gave us great viewing like The Larry Sanders Show, when it couldn't have happened anywhere else, up through The Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones and Dune. We'll see. We have several other services. Netflix, of course, Prime because we use Amazon Prime a lot (Prime is definitely a mixed bag), Hulu, which is good, and like @Dr of Dunk, Paramount+ when new Star Trek is on, Apple TV+ (a dearth of content, IMO, but love Ted Lasso) when it's free. Have yet to get Disney, but will eventually and binge a lot of content. I may have forgotten something. More programing than we need.
