I'll be honest I still have cable, mostly for sports. So I tend to watch cable more than streaming as for now.

Youtube TV plus the obvious HBO, Discovery, Showtime etc subs. I did Youtube for the NFL Sunday Ticket, it was like $250 a year to watch every game. Bit of a no brainer really.
 
Haven't had cable in over a decade. It's absolute garbage aside from live sports.

I tend to watch sports so I'll stream whatever I want to watch.

Cable packages are trash. There are about 6 channels I would use and they force me to pay for all the other channels that are useless.

They gouged costumers for decades. It's pretty much just the elderly that didn't grow up with internet that are keeping them afloat.
 
I switched from cable to YouTubeTV a couple months ago. I added HBO Max, 4K with unlimited screens and NFL Network for Redzone and am still saving 100 bucks per month. And that includes paying Charter $75 per month for internet. As soon as someone runs fiber in my neighborhood I'll dump Charter for good.

I'm considering dumping Netflix. It's gotten out of hand at nearly $25 per month, especially now that my kids can't share my login.
 
I have cheap ass cable I watch roughly twice a year. And I pirate. Yarr!
 
Same, cable for sports and the wife likes them reality shows
 
I have both, just recently I looked into canceling cable and try and only stream. After seeing what services we'd need to keep watching the stuff we want, it was almost the same cost. Maybe streaming was a few bucks less.
 
I was a DirecTV user for many, many years. I "cut the cord" several years ago because it was getting so damned expensive... but flash forward to now and I'm considering jumping back to cable or satellite because I pay for Prime, Netflix, Youtube TV and Disney+...
 
Antenna.

Networks, PBS, and local are free.

Get a box antenna from Home Depot.
 
not really into tv

when the fuck was the last good tv show?

movies are streamed, or on holidays my brother has the dvds, of everything hes ever watched.

know what I do? I work
 
Streaming. I have cable because it's a package with my internet, but honestly I haven't watched anything on cable since UFC PPVs went to ESPN+.

However I think these streaming services are going to fuck around and make everyone go back to piracy at some point.
