Title: Too much streaming
Post by: bashi on Sep 08, 2022 at 02:49 AM
We recently added up all our streaming services and it's insane, so now we're trying to pare everything down and might go the rotation of streaming services path, personally we found out the least we use is Netflix, share away your thoughts and suggestions on this

We're just using Netflix because my household loves Kdrama and Anime. If there's any interesting stuff on other streaming services it easy to get - you know what I mean. Having a fiber connections makes this easy.

We have Netflix and Discovery+ in addition to a cable package that also has most of the movie and lifestyle channels. This woke me to also consider to cut down on too much channels. I read that the typical behavior now in the US is to cable cut and switch among the streaming channels when there's a good show and to use the free streaming like Pluto more.

Cut the cables for several years already. VOD is the way to go. Have the following:

Netflix
AppleTV - by default as I have an AppleOne account
HBO GO
YouTube Premium
UltraTek IPTV
Discovery +
Vivamax

Apple Music, again because of my Apple One account but I ditched Spotify already as I find Apple Music better.

Kami we'll retain Amazon definitely kasi tied yun sa Amazon Prime ng anak ko, we also have Disney+, HBO, and Apple TV, syempre add mo pa VPN service, we haven't used cable for 4 years na ata, we just got a GMA Box, and a bunch of streaming services, and we'll definitely use the rotation scheme ..... if you're a PLDT subscriber you'll also get Lionsgateplay for free (1year only)

Nakailang free trial na rin ako ng Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Discovery+ at ngayon naman yung Lionsgate. Hindi ko rin masyadong pinapanood. I spend more time with video games kaya baka mas sulit pa sa akin yung Game Pass for PC subscription.

Netflix lang for me.
 
Then sa mga meron free streams like WeTV.
The rest sa suking tindahan.

I just use NBA League Pass, Netflix and YouTube. Not even using any cable nor cignal not even TV Box for local and foreign TV programs anymore.

Title: Re: Too much streaming

Cut cignal cable a few months back. Pero meron naiwan na free Cignal play sa cp ko kahit closed na cable ko.
Son discouraged me from acquiring iptv (baka daw di safe)
Family Feud and other stuff on YT (wife is following vlogs of pinays married to foreigners.. baka pag ba dedo ako eh mag asawa ng kano haha)
Free CNN snippets
Dati tried 3 months free Apple Music
1 year free Lionsgate play.. really like shows.. nagkalat boobs..

Daughter is sharing Spotify Premium, Netflix, AppleTV and HBO Go

And pa ba meron free? Nag open ako dati ng Amazon pero parang puro may bayad, so hinde ko na itinuloy.

Mga nawala sa akin eh yun NBA Premium, F1 Racing, American Football at Grand Slam tennis (nawala nun wala ng Fox sports sa Cignal)

Only Netflix for us, which is shared under my brother's account, so no cost to me at all. We do maintain Sky Cable, but used only by my mother.

Netflix and Discovery+.  The latter is underutilized, but I subscribed at P99(?) for one year (introductory offer).  Not enough interesting content for me at this time.  Sana man lang kasi may Battlebots...  ::)

All others, I just rent(z).  :D   

I might reconsider pag may Disney+ na.

Subscriber ako both Deezer and Apple for around 4 months each then my daughters kasi are using Spotify and convinced me mag family plan na lang kami, Spotify is way ahead in terms of ease in use, intuitive pa plus very soon Spotify is coming out with their own HD sound version, I think mahirapan yun iba to keep up

Netflix, Spotify and YouTube Premium subscriber here. Paid sub sa YouTube to avoid ads when watching music videos and YT Music has some songs that you can't find in Spotify. The latter have better audio though.

Sorry di ko makita appropriate thread for my question. Meron ba dito nag-sign up sa Discovery Plus for the introductory price of P129 (I think) that's good for 1 year (IIRC). I received an email saying my subscription is about to expire and that I will be charged P999 for the following year's subscription. Isn't the introductory price good for one year?
Title: Re: Too much streaming

If I'm not mistaken good for one year yung initial subscription bro. Pero wala pang one year baket kailangan na i-renew? Parang di naman nila kineep yung end of the deal. Pero I guess okay na rin yung duration for the initial fee that we paid. But the bottom line here is yung supposedly good for 1 year subscription para sa initial fee na binayaran. Breach of contract kumbaga (kung tama recall ko na good for 1 year sya).

pina cancel ko na Discovery + subscription ko. Not worth to renew it @ Php999 since we seldom use it.
Ako naman bro nanonood ng mga mystery series tulad ng Unxplained and other tv series in the same vein. Kaya nagagamit ko naman. Hehehe.

Disney says streaming business at 'turning point'

Disney's streaming business has continued to grow - but its losses are rising too.

The media giant said it had added more than 12 million subscribers to its Disney+ streaming platform in the three months ended in September.

But the unit lost nearly $1.5bn - a hit that weighed on the company's overall bottom line.

Chief executive Bob Chapek said Disney+ had reached a "turning point" and would become profitable by 2024.

HBO Go is priced really nicely and the collection of content and IP is also top-notch. Original HBO content, as we all know, is some of the best on television.

Last time I tried it (December last year) there was no 4k and no HDR (GOT was too dark), audio output was also STEREO only. In addition, the "HD" content seemed like just 720p to me. 1080p HBO content on torrent looked better, to be honest.

I was also told HBO Max was coming in 2023. There's a week left this year so I doubt it'll make it.

With one HBO GO subscription, you can register up to ten devices while streaming up to three devices at the same time, which is perfect for households with multiple people.
