JFC...$250 and that's USD too.

Why don't ppl just go free? Morals? Fear of viruses?

Hassle. My streaming services cost me what, 40ish a month, honestly not worth the grief of free.

I'm with you, dropped "cable" about 6 years ago. I have a few streaming services, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple & Paramount. Maybe $50 a month and no commercials, pause when I want I just can't ever see having cable again.

Hassle of potentially getting some virus or other shady internet-related scams?

Jeeeeezus!!! We have "free" cable with our HOA and I watch it maybe once or twice a year just so I feel like I'm getting my monies worth. No cable in NC.

Wife must be a hassle since you listed her thrice lol.

Ok, I'm confused, there are sites readily available w a brief googling containing lots of selections from the various providers all in one place.

YouTube TV, inclusive of HBO and SHO = $113/mo.
Netflix ($16) and Hulu ($18) commerical free when we have them, which is not all the time.

So, $113 to $147 per mo.

We also get Paramount+ and Peacock "free" as a result of other subscriptions and have Amazon Prime for shipping, so Prime Video also "free". By "free" I mean you are paying for it somehow whether using it or not.

We were at around $200/mo. with DirecTV before dumping it many years ago now. Fucking DirecTV fees for HD when everything is HD and fees for each box in the house plus steep annual increases. Almost like they wanted to lose customers.

YouTube TV also lets us use the same subscription in NC when we are there, so no need for a separate account there.
