We dropped them when they made excuses why they hired Susan Rice. We have internet ($45) per month and Hulu live——Month to month. I love no contracts. If Hulu pulls this crap-—Bye Bye.

FWIW, I don’t consider it beating my head against a stone wall. I’m becoming an even better cook because we eat out less. Because we watch zero broadcast tv, very little cable and streaming, we’ve got an excellent library of both books and dvds. We have found other things to do, other ways to do do/buy/make what we need. I’m enjoying the challenge. :-)

Right now we spend more TV time at Classic Reel, Tubi and The Roku Channel.

We completely cut the cord years ago. It is not for everyone. But at this point cable no longer offers value that can compete. The process for us really started with Netflix streaming. The streaming market is now getting saturated with alternatives, so I do not know whether Netflix can really get away with raising their prices without loosing a lot of customers.

Exact same here. Hulu Live has the large majority of the sports I want to see. Sports is about all I watch, really. I couldn’t care less about the latest sitcom or drama.

balderdash.

To leave Netflix because of some connection to the Obama’s is foolish.

I’m only keeping Netflix for “The Crown.”

If Putlocker, Couch Potato, or some of those other sites carried it, I would drop Netflix.

Still a bargain at twice the price.

I dumped my cable TV three years ago.

All I need is Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime (which I already had anyhow for the 2-day shipping). Watch what I want when I want it and can ignore all the other noise.

Can get everything... everything these clowns put out— for absolutely free, whenever one wants. Leftist claptrap, and not something to ever support. Any more than HBO/Time Warner. Break them all up.. the media money cabal and their masters.

De-fund the Left. Remember?

I "cut the cord" 6 months ago and never looked back.

Got rid of DirecTV and their super expensive premium movies channels.

Now I get to watch all the streaming content I want for $11 a month, soon to be $13 a month.

Sure beats the $200+ a month I was paying to watch the same old stale movies over and over again on satellite TV.

First you consort with and pay money to traitors, then you raise prices, then you’re dead and gone.

I like good news.

“$13 per month “

still cheaper than a single ticket to a dirty movie theater full of the ill-behaved and ill-kempt to attempt to watch an unwatchable movie ... for a family for a month of unlimited at-home streaming from a large library (SOME of which is outstanding) $13/month is still a bargain ...

We’ve ripped through all the Prime originals as well. Pretty much just waiting for the new seasons to start.
