So how many of you are going to be signing up for all the various streaming

services for about $88/mo?

Netflix- Movies +Stranger Things Mindhunter, Seinfeld etc
Disney+ (Hulu and ESPN+ included)- Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Classics
Amazon Prime- All their Original Stuff
CBS All-Access- Star Trek (not sure what other draw here)
Peacock - The Office, Every season of SNL (for you old folks that only liked the first season)
Apple TV - Original Programming (to start)
HBO Max- The Big Bang Theory, Friends, Fresh Prince
HBO Now/Go- Westworld, GoT spinoffs, HBO Library.

I'm probably missing one or two, but this seems to be getting out of hand. I plan on subscribing to Disney+ and we utilize Prime for the shipping. Currently *cough* share *cough* Netflix with my cousin but hardly watch it.

Peacock is the only other one I'm tempted by, but it doesn't have a price yet. I read if you have a TV subscription it might be discounted or free (with ads)? So that would be a nice perk.

There's a very easy solution to all this -- HokieMacDaddy 09/18/2019 11:35AM

Yep, all those people who cheered for this didn't listen to warnings -- WestyHokie 09/18/2019 11:10AM

Streaming packages are still a better option - now, if the services start -- hokiehill1117 09/18/2019 12:58PM

Sounds like way too much effort. ** -- cincyhokie 09/18/2019 2:52PM

How much time do you have? -- WestyHokie 09/18/2019 1:04PM

My only internet access beside a satellite feed is our DSL line -- fordham 09/18/2019 3:21PM

Agree, that's where some are headed, and we'll see how that works -- WestyHokie 09/18/2019 1:00PM

Exactly. I have definitely noticed that sports is already heading -- VTHokie2000 09/18/2019 1:32PM

When you say less than $200 per month for all channels, including premium.. -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2019 11:52AM

No, but internet is needed for many more things than TV -- WestyHokie 09/18/2019 12:59PM

Wow, didn't know Comcast was that cheap. The same offering from Cox... -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2019 2:10PM

You will eventually have to pay for the content -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2019 10:02AM

So you are saying they will consolidate (like a cable tv company) -- fordham 09/18/2019 10:48AM

Pretty much. Streaming services have been providing "cut rate" services... -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2019 11:58AM

The price may be the same, but what about the content? -- VTHokie2000 09/18/2019 12:31PM

This will continue to evolve and develop over the next year or two. -- King Jaffe Joffer 09/18/2019 10:02AM
