I was just curious to know how widespread streaming video services have become and how many people here use them.

I am subscribed to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.

How about you?  :)

(Edit: Apparently you can just choose one option. Mods: Is there anyway I can change the poll to allow more than one choice?)

I use Netflix. You could tell because I'm a fan of House of Cards (as mentioned in other posts).

I use Netflix primarily. Sometimes I bum my brother's HBO GO account.

I like Netflix but like other entertaining things, I can't afford it.  I have watched a lot on Hulu in the past but I rarely watch any shows or movies online anymore. Too much buffering for computers. I would love to have Netflix someday though. I'm only seen stuff through others' with it

I use Netflix, Hulu and Crackle.

I don't use any streaming video. I have to watch my spending.

I dont use any either...........

I dont think anything is THAT GOOD these days.......

I still use Netflix but not as much.

I still don’t stream.

Netflix and others

I still don’t stream.

Excellent :)

I still don’t stream.
It's cheaper that way!

I modified it for you. People can now chose up to 7.

Why not?  ???

It's cheaper that way!

And you never have to pay a dime.

We just signed up for Netflix last night, so I can vote for that one.

I never pay for it.

It can get quite expensive, especially when the monthly bill arrives.  ::)

Amazon Prime.  That's the most we want to spend on streaming.  Lately it's had my favorite current show; that's enough for me.

I have accounts on a few but the only ones I actively use are the free ones. Tubi and Pluto are my personal favorites. We do have Paramount plus through work though. I have premium on youtube, not a streaming service but still a monthly online thing, because I hate ads and I watch a lot of it so it’s worth paying for. We still have cable/satellite but the company we use isn’t great so we want to switch to one we know we enjoy. It really sucks that so much is only available through streaming. Discover plus, Disney plus, etc. etc… I would much rather have things the way they use to be with good cable and movie networks as well as video stores. I’m old school that way, ha!

I don't have any streaming services. Saves me a lot of money and time.

What is that? We are always looking for recommendations.

The Chosen.  Prime has Season 2 free since a couple weeks ago (Season 1 has been free for a while).  Season 3 is coming within the next few months but I doubt Prime will have it right away, might have to use the app.  I saw that Netflix picked it up recently (Season 1 only??)

I'll keep it in mind when we are looking for our next show to watch. Thanks.

For me, I can stream everything that I want to watch on CTV.ca and CBC Gem.  Especially if I want to watch CBC classic shows such as Schitt's Creek and any episodes of Republic of Doyle that I might have missed but I don't really see the point of streaming something online when I feel more connected to the characters watching them on TV.
But I guess whatever makes money for the show's creators then have at it.  :)

I'll only use Netflix if there's something good to watch on it.

We have:

Amazon Prime (though we use it more for free delivery than actual streaming)
Hulu (which I’m probably dropping soon)
Disney+
Paramount+
HBO Max

And for the free ones:

Tubi
PlutoTV
Crackle
PBS Kids
Peacock
Plex

I use CBC Gem just because it's free.

Can YouTube be added to the list?

After over 25 years, I cancelled my subscription to Dish network. I wasn't getting a signal and called. A technician came out and said that my neighbor's trees were blocking the signal and there was nothing he could do. When I called to cancel, the guy asked me if there was any way to ask the neighbor to cut his trees. Yeah right.

After looking around, I decided to go to Hulu because they have my favorite channels-even though I already had a Hulu (and Disney+) account through Verizon. I had to cancel the Verizon bundle to get an upgrade of Hulu.

So now not only do I have Hulu & Disney+, I also included Paramount+ & Showtime and the no ads feature. I don't think I will be paying anymore. I think everything averages out-what I was paying for Dish vs what I will be paying for Hulu and minus the bundle with Verizon plus the Paramount+ add on. In fact, it may actully be a few dollars cheaper. And I even get a few more channels that I will watch then what I got on Dish.

I think I made the right choice but it was a pain in the @$$ switching.

Oh, and I still have Netflix, Acorn, & Prime which I don't watch. I have it for the free shipping. I have plenty of t.v to keep me distracted from doing things I SHOULD be doing.
