To which streaming services do you subscribe? (PG Edition)
Just wondering. We have a pretty tech savvy bunch here, so surely there's some media streaming people here. Which non-porn sites do you pay/subscribe to use? I'll start:
Netflix Hulu Spotify edit: X-Box Music I've actually gotten Netflix and Hulu free for over a year. Spotify is the only one I actually pay for, and I've more than gotten my money's worth out of it. If I didn't get Hulu free, I wouldn't continue it, but I'd probably pay for Netflix. I had Slacker free for a year and found it was probably the best "radio" streaming service out there. Also had Pandora for a while, but wasn't blown away by the value added with a subscription. Edit - Fidatelo reminded me, I did actually get a cheap 1 year subscription to xbox music that I used for like a day, just hated the interface. So, what else do people pay for? I'm sure there's numerous MLB/NBA people out there, but I wonder if there's something under the radar that some of us may be missing. Last edited by Easy Mac : 07-09-2014 at 09:16 AM. |

Netflix paid.
Spotify, only the free. If anybody in my house uses any others -- free or paid -- off the top of my head I'm not conscious of it. edit to add: To conform to what the thread seems to be doing, I'll add Sirius/XM to the list. I honestly don't consider it a "streaming service" per se, mostly (I suppose) because it isn't something I use via computer or mobile device. I've probably used their online version 2-3 times in 2 years, it's almost strictly a car thing via a dedicated receiver so I consider it a different category. YMMV.

I pay for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Until recently I had satellite radio but with my new car and new prices it's no longer worth it.

Google Play Music subscription
I used to have an Xbox Music subscription for years but the app doesn't work properly on my new phone so I switched when Google Play came to Canada a couple months ago. I don't regret it.

Netflix and Amazon (free with Prime).
I had been trying to get my wife to pay for either full Pandora or Spotify, just so I don't have to hear her complain every time a commercial comes on. But now Amazon has the free music service too. |

Netflix, Amazon Prime, WWE Network, NFL Game Rewind (if that counts).
Once I finally cut the cord on DirecTV I'll consider Hulu Plus and late-season MLB.TV offers. |

The only thing that we stream are sports games (specifically college football and basketball) and we get that free through Xfinity.

Hulu+ for paid Pandora free only WatchESPN (only the ESPN3 stuff since I don't have cable TV) I keep getting tempted by NBA League Pass, but everything I hear says that it's a terrible service, and Las Vegas is considered a local market for something ridiculous like 5 or 6 teams anyway, so it really doesn't make sense for me.

We have the over-the-top FiOS package and live in a major market, so I really get more sports than I could ever watch (ESPN/Comcast/NBCSN plus the league networks). Otherwise, I would definitely look at stuff like League Pass, etc..

Spotify (premium) Hulu Plus (which I should switch to Crunchroll) Amazon Prime Edit: I forgot MLB.tv (just like I do every March when I forget to cancel it) Last year I got the DirectTV football package with Madden 25. I'll probably renew that if there's an option. Last edited by oykib : 07-11-2014 at 02:13 PM. |

Amazon Prime Hulu Plus MLB.tv Thinking of getting MLS Live I don't have cable anymore, so I need streaming to watch most sports. And Hulu Plus is a good backup for broadcast channel shows when the weather is bad and it messes up the antenna signal (I have a Tivo for recording broadcast channel shows). Oh, for the free stuff: WatchESPN (well, I pay for Comcast internet, I didn't realize ESPN3 comes with that) Spotify Pandora (at times) TuneIn Radio

Hulu Amazon Prime (although I only use it for free delivery) Brighton and Hove Albion (subscription service for streaming matches/commentary from UK) Thats my lot presently - tbh I have no idea why we're bothering with Hulu, we're paying for the priviledge of streaming adverts ... On the 'free' front: Pandora (although less than I used to) WatchESPN (for soccer) NBCLive (for soccer) I would use if they worked ever: iTunes radio Last edited by Marc Vaughan : 07-14-2014 at 10:22 AM. |
