Cable is stupidly expensive. I can believe what some people will/can pay. The weirdest part is how little you get for the money. It sounds so fantastic to have hundreds of channels, but there is so much garbage you're lucky to find anything watchable much of the time... and the ads! THE ADS!! I'm so spoiled by streaming now that I can't sit through them.
I love being able to watch whenever I want, and being able to pause and rewind (is it even called that anymore? Am I officially old? I almost said "back stream" but that sounds very wrong, lol.) is the greatest. :)

It does..Hundreds of stations but nothing on any of them worth watching..And it's got to the point where the lion's share of the program is ads. We cut out cable years ago.
Hulu is my least favorite. For the price of Netflix, with a smaller selection of titles, I have to sit through ads. Isn't that the opposite of how capitalism is supposed to work? Like, I'm a socialist, but darn-it if we're going to continue to have a capitalist system, I'd rather do it without the ads.
We actually dropped our cable company because it was so much cheaper just to have Netflix and use amazon prime's streaming service.

Plus, with streaming I can watch a show when I want. Even with On Demand and other such services sometimes you miss that one episode you had to catch.

The irony is that one of cable's original selling points was that it's a paid service and therefore had no need to run ads!
I have those two + Hulu. I have a outside antenna & Roku.

The tv shows my wife watches are on Hulu so that is why we have it.
