OT What's Better....Hulu, Sling, YouTube....or?

[ABM]

We have Hulu. Haven't really considered anything else. Should we?

We use a digital antenna (in our attic) for local stations. No cable.

Youtube TV is good for live TV and the unlimited online dvr is nice. We have hulu on demand with no ads though and like that much better for binge watching standard TV programs. The hulu library for on demand is much better also.

Im pretty sure they all have free trial periods if you want to check them out.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What do you watch?

I have YoutubeTV but its a shared family account. Its pretty good, I'm on a plan based in the NW so I get free blazer games that way.

Best.....a library card....all you need

I just last night went back to Comcast.

I was paying $69 to Comcast for 400mps internet and $30 to Sling.

Comcast raised that to $79 for internet.

But we went into a Comcast store last night and switched service from my name to Mrs Spd's name and now get 200mps (if 200mps isn't good enough I can go back to 400 for an extra $10/month but it should be fine), 400 channels, and HBO for one year for $94/month on a year only contract.

I have my own cable modem and use the Xfinity app on our smart TVs so I'm saving $20+ in their stupid monthly equipment rental charges.


So check what your local cable company has because sometimes you can get better introductorily offer than what you're paying for in internet only and the different TV services.

No doubt. Cassette tapes rock.

Oregon libraries have really expanded their streaming offerings during the last year. You should check what your local library has to offer.

I'm sure it's all wonderful.

According to the googles it looks like Tennessee libraries are partnered with Hoopla.

Wait, so now you're anti-library?

Cool!

more shocking is that in Tennessee the library has "tapes"....even in logging country Oregon we have moved onto CDs and ebooks

Actually Tennessee libraries have an amazing collection of Tennessee recorded music that is free to stream to library card holders. The collection spans the earliest recordings of some of music's greatest artists.

That would be cool to have access to.

Library of Congress has more...I've used their archives forever....you can hear anthropologists recording from the 50s of different tribes and musics...as well as americana...I used to house watch Jonathon Richman's house when he was on tour and he had the most amazing collection of Library of Congress recordings...I have some on tape to this day

No, just trying to guess why you were dismissive when someone suggested libraries.

Sly, I know about libraries without you having to suggest them. I'm an avid fan of public libraries. Have spent countless hours in them. Countless. When I first moved to Nashville, spent almost every day in one for my e-mail and internet provider. I was, again, being facetious with riverguide. Roll with me.

I used to have safe sex with girls in libraries without our parents knowing back in high school.

You and your lovely wife need You Tube. Your chess strategies will improve and the two of you will be happy with the wonderful recipes found there. ~

I had it in Grammar school as I was subjected to cruel Catholic nuns with metal rulers.lol

A nun used a ruler to cure me of being left handed when I was in the first grade.

That is worth a complaint to your parents. I actually remember these large walk in closets in back of the room. This kid named Duffy did something to piss off this nun and she chased into the closet. We heard his pleas of agony but being a 5th graded we laughed. The nun looked like a miniature Ernest Borgnine.

 

[stampedehero]

That proves it. HCP like inflatables with yellow colored panties. The doll kind of looks like Marilyn Manson too.

My apologies if I snipped at you a bit. I just didn't equate my response to riverman re: Oregon libraries as to me suddenly being "anti-library". I guess I took your comment as being a small dig as such. This, in the context that I was already in petty banter mode with riverman. His fun little swipes always make me laugh.

No.

I have had all three. I prefer Hulu. I have the HBO max add on.

I also have Disney + For Madalorian and Marvel shows, and Netflix. Oh yeah and Amazon Prime.

I pay a total of $93 bucks a month and get to watch everything I want

Thanks for that. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as well. Curious, is the HBO Max primarily for newer released movies?

HBO max has a vast library of movies newer and older and TV shows. But, Yeah I have it primarily for new releases since a lot of them are going to be on Max same day as theater. Also, because of the Snyder Cut of Justice League that is coming out next month. I expect the same day as theatre releases is why most people will suscribe to it.
