Silliness What do you pay for streaming? - Page 2

I have several streaming sites through my Spectrum cable, but I pay a lot monthly for that, about $255 now, including my internet, cable TV and some streaming. I pay extra for Netflix, about $9 or $10 with commercials. Used to get it for $9 without commercials.

I get HBO Max through my cable, but I pay extra for that, about $18 a month under my expensive $255 for everything including internet.

I get PBS passport with an annual donation to PBS of at least $65.

Oh, and Amazon prime that comes with free shipping, about $139 a year, or has it gone up?

Around $200 a month. DIRECTV stream for internet version of standard TV, Netflix top tier for a few months while we rewatch Stranger Things. Peacock premium plus with a little off due to pairing with Apple Premier One family subscription. PBS to watch Poirot, Wolf Hall and to support PBS. Prime video with prime and currently paying the $3 to watch things without ads. Disney plus no ads. YouTube premium for the soothing backgrounds and videos. Ok, so that is a lot. Also Spotify. $250 or more a month. Sports fans and movie fans here. DIRECTV goes up $25 during baseball season when we upgrade the subscription to get the local RSN.

ETA: family of five

I pay 7.30$ yearly, to unsuscribe the Canone TV which otherwise would be set by default, first time I discovered it I'd paid 13$ to send the registered mail whitin return receipt, the Canone would be around 75$. Had TV in the cellar for 10 years, but having it was yet a reason to have to pay the property tax (unless calling the police that would put a sigil in it LOL). Gave it to an uncle, and still I was thinking the Canone was inherent the radio streams too (and I was wrong). Apart 1,5 year during covid, I have not TV, but I watch streamings when there are Olympics or something really nice (super rarely, e.g. Sanremo Festival: talks apart, I'd liked the description the broadcaster I follow gave it: "any single member of the orchestra, in there, is a master, then there them play just as that easy"), whitin the internet, on pc.
Took a free month on Netfix when there was an anime I'd liked to watch, but that's all
