I use Netflix and Acorn, and like them both. Acorn is cheap and has a lot of British shows. But I wondered what other services people like. I thought about Amazon, and may do that at some point.
So which ones do you like?

I have Hulu. It shows episodes of tv shows the day after they have aired.

I see a lot of ads for Hulu, and have thought about it. I want another streaming service because there is very little that I like on the networks. I like foreign shows, mostly, for some reason.

Just Netflix and Amazon Prime. I have been thinking about Prime; I should look to see if they include ant Aussie or British series. |

We have Netflix and Amazon Prime. We still have cable and just haven't been able to cut the cord. Maybe some day.

We have Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Honestly we don't watch much on Prime at all, but Netflix and Hulu are split about 50/50, we watch a lot on those.

Just Netflix and Prime. I don't think I've found a single thing I have wanted to watch on Prime since Christmas though. The selection is not very good.

We have basic cable and Netflix. We've been talking about adding Hulu.
If we could just get a good internet provider for $50 or so, we'd drop cable but Comcast is our only option. Internet alone is $85. With basic cable, it's $75/month plus fees.

We cut the cable cord this week. We have Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. And then through Amazon I have a subscription to Starz and PBS and will add HBO temporarily when Game of Thrones starts. I should quit Starz until Outlander comes back.

We have cable, but through the Roku also use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and (very seldom) Vudu.

We are so behind the times. We still use Cable (Uverse) and I watch Amazon Prime on my iPad about once every 3-4 months.

We have Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. We pay a bit more for Hulu and get it commercial free. Some shows will play a commercial a the beginning but I think the big networks require it. We have been cable free for over 3 years. DH loves Walking Dead and I buy the season for him on Amazon. He likes that better than having a set on DVD.

Netflix and a local service called Neon which is owned by Sky. I only have the ,alter because it was a freebie - thrown in when I upgraded my broadband plan.

Thanks all. I think that Prime might be the best fit for me.

I use an android box. No fees and has everything you ever want to watch. Is the android box kind of like Roku and Apple TV? Maybe. It runs on a system called Kodi. You download apps that stream. I can watch any tv series from the start. There are sports apps, live tv apps, all sorts of programming. I can watch tv from the uk, Russia, India etc etc... |

Prime is annoying. At least with Netflix and Hulu if you see a show it's available to watch. On Prime, they have everything but 90% of it is for an additional price since I already paid to get Prime, I don't want to pay more! The selection of free stuff is not that great, just my 2 cents...

I'd never heard of Acorn. Hubby really likes British shows so we will have to check that out if he ever runs out of things to watch on Netflix.
Currently we only pay for Netflix. We watch stuff on ABC.COM, CBS.COM, etc that are free if we miss shows when they air. I'd like to watch The Good Fight but you have to pay for that on CBS.com so maybe I'll do the free trial sometime and see.
I've had Prime but the selection is vastly less than Netflix and there is really only one show I want to watch there that I can't get elsewhere.

Acorn is cheap and has a lot of classic shows. |

We have cable and that comes with On Demand. We also have Netflix streaming plus we get two discs a week through snail mail. I like that for the movies that are newly releashed and not streaming yet.

We have Netflix and Prime, but we watch very little on Prime. We don't usually find much we want to watch on Prime and we have had a lot of trouble getting Prime to stream on our smart TV. If it weren't for Prime's other benefits, we would cancel it.

Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBOnow, and Amazon Prime. HBOnow and Amazon Prime are provided by my employer but I would pay for both if that perk was taken away. Springing for commercial free Hulu was totally worth it too.
