Main source of TV shows?

How do you watch most of your TV shows? Not counting movies. Might do that on another thread.

We still watch most of our shows on our TV via Dish Network.
We do some streaming on the TV, but not a lot.

Streaming. We have a fire stick a roku, some other thing, some thing that attaches to the fire stick. I only recently figured out how to work any of this crap and thats only because google home controls everything.

TV - Fios.

I don't understand how to do streaming or use a stick, and I certainly don't have the patience to teach my husband once I do learn.

Re: Main source of TV shows?

I also never "binge watch" anything. I don't have the patience or attention span to sit on my couch like a zombie for 6 hours watching an entire series in one sitting.
2 episodes is the MOST i can do back to back and sometimes even THAT is pushing it

Mostly stream through the roku but also some cable. We don't have a cable box in our bedroom so it's strictly streaming in there and even in the living room we use the roku at least half the time.

Re: Main source of TV shows?

I stream through Netflix, firestick and amazon prime. I still have optimum have not cut the cord just yet. I do every once in a while like to watch live tv so I am not entirely sure I can give up my cable yet. I do HATE paying the cable bill though.

Re: Main source of TV shows?

I stream on my tablet. I usually use tvmuse.com.

I have cable, but it’s with the internet so I only pay 10€ Extra a month. That’s all in German and I prefer my English programming.

We had basic cable plus streaming on our Amazon Fire stick, until we moved into our house. Then we got an antenna because Cablevision said "The package we had no longer existed" and wanted to raise our rates.

Do you get live TV this way? Limited channels? How does this work?

Same here. I’ll only watch Verizon on dvr because of commercials unless it’s the news. We use Netflix and the fire stick a lot as well.

Re: Main source of TV shows?

Does anyone have Hulu Live? Are you able to watch live TV when you want?

I am very close to throwing in the towel on optimum, I think the cable company's are a big racket and something should be done about it. (that's for another time).

Besides Fios and Optimum how else can you get internet/Wi-Fi into the home? What other "respectable" providers are there?

I like my news so I really want to have live tv.

Re: Main source of TV shows?

There are a few things I watch on a TV but most of the shows DH and I watch are streaming either to our Shield or Roku. Our kids watch 100% of their shows streaming, they don't watch anything on real TV and on the occasion they try to, they get frustrated with commercials and "real time" so they give up. LOL
