Yes checks are pretty much dead. Even credit cards are starting a slow decline.That's like saying no one writes checks anymore.

Yes, along with the same cost. I was hoping that streaming would cost less or that I could choose my channels but steaming follows the same cable/satellite model.Has been for a while.
By calling cell phones?The scammers thank you. How else can they bait people if they don't have phone service?
I'm guessing the same people who still have cable TV are the same ones who still have landline telephones.
i haven't gotten one on my landline in years-it's all via calls and texts on my cell.The scammers thank you. How else can they bait people if they don't have phone service?

Apparently Hallmark is starting a new streaming channel only it’s not available on cableHaha. I double checked the date on this thread to see if it was a zombie thread.
We ditched cable @10 years ago. Still have a landline though. . Some of the streaming services now feel no different than cable to me. We switched to save some money but now I think the cost is pretty similar between streaming and cable.
cable has never been available nor ever will in the area i live in-it's too cost prohibitive for any company to deal with the infrastructure to install. before satellite tv (and to this day for some) people use antennas (strange sight for visitors to see 7 figure homes with tv antennas on their roofs-younger people can't figure out what the heck they are).
By calling cell phones?
Sending emails?
Setting up websites so you get redirects of "You've already won!" (I'm looking at you DIS).
Which makes you wonder how can any company make any money by providing any utility in a remote area. Do the phone company and electric utility get government subsidies?

I remember ontvAs for checks, but daughter threw in the towel and ordered checks because after she bought her house three years ago, she discovered many of the services she needed, landscapers, etc, take cash or check only.
LOL on microwave. Sacramento was the last major city to get cable TV back in 1986. Prior to that all we had was a MICROWAVE TV programming service that offered one channel, HBO. When cable started being installed, they switched to a channel called ONTV that was mostly adult content.
I still have one show on dvd technically it is available on YouTube but I don’t know for how long so till I can purchase the digital format I will be keeping the dvds
I wasn't specifically saying anything about DVD's per se. Just that my parents were getting DVD's from Netflix & not using streaming on Netflix. I watch DVD's all the time. Why pay to stream a movie when getting the DVD from the library is "free." Yes, I might have to wait a little bit longer but I'm okay with that.

I've gotten too used to high def, so DVD just doesn't cut it any more for me. I used to buy Disney home video copies, which usually came with a Bluray and DVD copy, and most of the newer ones came with an HD video download code (that also gave Disney Rewards points). However, I haven't bought one since Cars 3 since we can watch pretty much anything on Disney+.
I think it’s part of the duty of our local government to support access to basic needs. Years ago one of our state governors allotted money to put water lines down some rural roads in our area. Many do not have sewer but that can be remedied with septic systems.Which makes you wonder how can any company make any money by providing any utility in a remote area.
