What streaming service(s) do you use?
I use Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Netflix is the only one I have to pay for since Amazon Prime is free with the phone service I use.
There's a new streaming service called Discovery +, but I'm fine not using other services.
What about you? Are you cable free yet?

I get Peacock free, IIRC. I pay for Amazon Prime but more for free shipping. The services I pay for are HBO Max, CBS All Access, and Disney Plus. When NFL game pass drops to $25, I'll grab that, too.

AT&T TV - I also have Amazon Prime. HBO and netflix are cheap add-ons to AT&T.

As an aside, does anyone ahve any good suggestions for me? I can't stream to my TV because my wifi won't go through the walls. I will have to find a good wifi extender, which will still be tricky to place, I may need two to get around the corners. Does anyone use these, and what do I need to look for? I have Amazon Prime and I don't want to sit and watch on my desktop.

I live literally between the Missouri and Mississippi. Very convenient. I've tried the Nile, Mekong, and Amazon.

Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime with curiosity stream, CBS All Access, HBO Max (or whatever one it is that I watched Wonder Woman 84 on), and Peacock premium.
For reasons I can't really justify, I also pay for cable but the only thing I watch on there that I can't find elsewhere is MSNBC. I need my daily Rachel fix.

What are you currently using for WiFi? Modern WiFi modems and routers have no problem with walls. 
Is your equipment a little vintage?

Yabut, is your WiFi router your cable modem? If so, that's why you need cable.

I am on DSL, which is all I can get other than satellite, and satellite around here goes down a lot due to weather. I have very, very, very slow internet on DSL, but I just bought the latest router. I suppose the walls still dilute the reception even farther. On DSL, I am lucky to be able to stream anyway. All my equipment is current and good quality.

Yes it is, but I don't need nearly so many cable channels. I can keep basic cable and upgrade my internet speed. I've only casually browsed my options with this.

LOL... I don't even know what "streaming" is, other than what my eyes do
when I'm chopping onions.
(Nope, I don't stream, and never intend to. It's a waste of money IMO.)

You can stream quite a few things for free on youtube. I am not a member at youtube, and I still stream things there on occasion.

Discovery + is a service for the boyfriend, it seems. He only watches HGTV, and this service seems to be full of those shows.
I was looking through a list of their shows, and there's absolutely nothing there to interest me.

I don't pay for Netflix-type services. I do watch live events of all types on YouTube. Also, ESPN has some things for free. Been watching a ton of gymnastics this pandemic.
Is this sig thing on?

What streaming service(s) do you use?
We went to YouTube TV a couple of years ago and ditched Dish Network. Our Internet service is Verizon FIOS but they don't offer TV in our area. Our current Internet service is 1.5 gigabits/sec both ways (1500 megabits/sec) which is about as fast as anyone gets in the US. I rationalize that for business needs; I think it costs $110/mo.
We went from spending around $125/mo for Dish, to spending $45/mo for YouTube TV (not to be confused with plain old YouTube). But the price has been creeping up, and they are slowing bundling popular channels the same as a cable provider. It's at $65/mo now. On top of that, our go-to is Netflix, and occasionally I've done a free trial of stuff like ShowTime, or picked up a service like HBO Max for a month to watch a particular series we're interested in.
My wife's guilty pleasure is a handful of reality shows, for which we need the Bravo network, but if it weren't for that I'd be inclined to drop YouTube TV altogether. The news networks are nice-to-have, particularly during a crisis, but the quality of newstainment is in the toilet and I'd get by fine with the news feeds I get via Twitter. The only thing I'd actually miss from YouTube TV is BBC World News. Netflix is worth it at about $14/mo. I'm tempted by CBS all-access sometimes. All in all though I'd rather pay for premium fiber Internet service and live without the TV networks.

TV news is crap. I subscribe to the digital version of three newspapers for $12 a month and get all the day's news delivered to my inbox (including free sources as well). Beyond that, Google news is great.
