How many paid streaming/music services do you have?

[Nayan]

I keep a running list of which ones I have, which I need to cancel and which ones I'll need to resub to for sports season. How many do you have? I currently have:

YouTube TV
YouTube Premium
BritBox
PBS Passport
ESPN+
Apple Music
SiriusXM

I will be getting Peacock, Hulu and Netflix. Hulu for Futurama (husband loves that show) and Peacock and Netflix for football.

 

[thanxfornoticin]

Too many......!

 

[soccerdad72]

YouTube TV (our live TV option)
Netflix
Amazon Prime

The rest of these vary from month to month - we often drop a service for a while and then go back to it. Currently, I think we have:

HBO Max (dropping next month)
Apple TV+
Hulu (borrowed from my son)

We don't pay for any streaming music anymore (used to have SiriusXM for a long time). We just use the free versions of Pandora and Spotify and also have Amazon Music through Amazon Prime.

I don't have any that I actually pay for.

Between my credit cards, phone and cable I have a bunch that I get basically for free with those things.

I do have many services - but really don't use them at all other than youTube Premium - and Id pay for that one even though I think they charge too much for it.

Disney, Hulu HBOMax, Peacock, Netflix, Paramount+ and Prime - I get for free and there is very little worth watching the last few months.

Yeah I do pay for the prime account for shipping and the Prime streaming is part of that so you could say I pay for it.

I considered getting SiriusXM as it would be like $1 or 2 a month for a year - but for me its not worth it - I used to have the service back when it was just Sirius specifically for O&A - but that is long gone and I see no value in paying for it when I can stream music for free on my phone.

I have Plex and PlexAmp on my phone - so all my music is on that over the phone and streamed anywhere so XM does not make sense. I used to be invested in XM and Sirius - but they just dont make sense now that everyone has a phone on them and decent service and lots of free music alternatives. They have no content that I see to make it worthwhile.

0. I don't pay for any streaming services.

 

[lynxstch]

I get Paramount+ and Prime free. I pay for Disney/Hulu, Peacock and Netflix, but I got promo discounts for all of those. I use Netflix and Hulu constantly, the others, not so much
No music streaming

 

[TippyThomas]

I don't have any.

 

[ClaraOswald]

Netflix
Hulu
Apple
HBO
Disney
Peacock
Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime Music

 

[leebee]

Peacock so we could watch the Olympics while we were on vacation last summer.
We shared Netflix with DD/SIL but they moved out so we don't have Netflix anymore, as N has really cracked down on account sharing. Not sure if we'll get our own subscription or not. We also share a D+ account with DD/SIL.
We have Sling for most of our TV viewing as we can't get local stations in our location.

 

[BrianL]

I only have Disney+ (though I might have access to a few others through family or friends).

 

[tvguy]

I have SirusXM but the lowest level, so do not have access to the app and the streaming channels. So none, as all the music I listen to comes in via satellite.

 

[_19disnA]

None. Cable TV has a number of music channels in the basic package so you can pick from several of those if you want music while at home. I do like the ones they have around Christmas. Not enough of a music fan to pay extra for any steaming music.

I don't have any.

I don’t have any either. I read a lot and rarely watch tv, and I am kind of anti-subscription model overall (I prefer to buy, not to rent). When I lost my job during the pandemic I got rid of my satellite tv subscription and went old school antenna. I am still pro antenna today (I am lucky in that I am between Tampa and Orlando and can pick up stations from both markets). I don’t have any free subscriptions due to other service contracts. I do have the free Tubi app on my iPad, and use it when traveling occasionally, but I don’t use it at home. A friend gave me a Netflix gift card for Christmas last year, and while I enjoyed it, by the time the gift card was used up I was struggling to find anything new to watch, so subscribing full time is a no.

I wouldn’t turn down a gift card for a month or two of viewing, but I am not subscribing long term.

 

[DoryGirl1963]

Philo (for TV watching in addition to our OTA antenna - no cable TV)
Paramount +

That's it

Agreed. I don't love the "you'll own nothing and like it" stance that these companies are taking.

 

[jimmymc]

Hulu Live, ESPN+, Disney+ Bundle
Amazon
Youtube Premium
Paramount+ (through Walmart+, through Amex Platinum)

I borrow Netflix, Apple, and HBO Max from friends.

 

[lovesmurfs]

A lot. We don't have cable, so we do stream exclusively. DH and I share an Audible Account.

Acorn (through Prime)
Amazon Music Unlimited
Amazon Photos
Amazon Prime (Ad Free)
Apple TV
Audible
Britbox (through Prime)
Disney Plus/Hulu/Max Bundle
Netflix
Paramount Plus
PBS

 

[RuntheMouse]

We always have:
Disney+, Hulu, HBOMax bundle
Peacock

We rotate out:
Apple TV + (binge watching certain shows)
Paramaount+ (same as above)
Fubo (college football)

I’m pretty good about keeping it lean and canceling when we’re done with our shows/football season.

 

[clappyclaps]

I have:

Amazon Prime
Disney+
Netflix
Now TV

And Spotify for music.

I resent paying for these and don't watch any as often as i should, but I can't bring myself to get rid. Spotify on the other hand, I can't live without and trying to use the free version with ads and limited skips killed me.

Wow. Not many places left that can't get over the air TV.
