So when your TV is on, are you watching cable, or some other form of media entertainment?

Currently I use both cable and a few other apps like Netflix, Prime and HBO max. I really need to cut something, especially when I seem to end up watching free You Tube a lot more than anything.

So, just curious, do you have a favorite "Go To" when watching TV?

Free. I mostly watch music stuff-gear reviews and how-to. There are days I consider subscribing to get rid of the ads. I think its $10 for just that. I watch very little of the current TV shows.

It's easy to spend hours watching you tube as one video leads to another, and I hear ya, seems to be more and more ads.

So many choices , Netflix, HBO Now, Prime, Apple, Hulu, YouTube TV, etc. and of course good ol' cable, Choices can be a good thing, or can drive one crazy trying to decide.

For me, sports, including local sports (Philadelphia) is a huge factor. Hulu and YouTube have that covered, but can it beat the experienced, but overpriced, cable convenience?

Upon research, if I were to cut cable tv, add an app like Hulu or YouTube TV with packages that I prefer, along with the needed higher bandwidth WIFI, the cost saving is really not that much, so...
