I actually just cancelled Netflix too because we never really watched it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix/page/2#post-1640386 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:48:00 +0000 IRunForFun 1640386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have Netflix and I'm fine with it. Most of the shows I watch on TV are on the basic networks (DWTS, Bachelor/Bachelorette, and a few sitcoms...) and if I have to wait a week to watch them online, oh well. We mainly binge-watch older series on Netflix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix/page/2#post-1640376 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:43:25 +0000 Springtime 1640376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Satellite mainly for DH and his sports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1640373 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:42:23 +0000 Honeygold89 1640373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Netflix and uverse (AT&amp;T cable) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1640366 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:40:34 +0000 charmed 1640366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Netflix and cable. I would love to be able to choose only the channels you want for cable! There are about 5 we watch and that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1640275 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:15:02 +0000 Mommy Finger 1640275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be happy having Hulu plus so that we could at least watch all of the current shows that we like but DH won't allow it b/c we wouldn't get any sports. I'm not impressed with the shows/movies that Netflix and Amazon Prime have so I don't think I would be happy with just that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1640245 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:08:42 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1640245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: We have a giant monstrosity from the last owners on the chimney with a line that runs into the house ;) And I get maybe eight channels reliably and fifteen if I'm really really lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1640147 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:42:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1640147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: haha we need an antenna to get the basic channels lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639980 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:57:00 +0000 MrsTal 1639980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just dropped cable and have Netflix and Hulu and I'm happy we made the switch, saving about $50 a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639974 Fri, 16 May 2014 12:55:14 +0000 MrsBrewer 1639974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Netflix, and Amazon Prime Streaming.

Our computer is hooked up to our TV, so we watch everything online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639740 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:57:43 +0000 BSB 1639740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have satellite (DirectTV) and netflix, but we have the DVD rental, not the streaming. We are able to catch up on shows that are not available to stream. We used to do Redbox before getting Netflix-DVD, but Redbox would always sell out of the movie we wanted or they wouldn't have it at all because it was an old movie. As for online streaming, we do the free streaming (hulu &amp; amazon) and I just hook my laptop to the TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639269 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:25:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1639269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Netflix and Amazon Prime plus what's on the airwaves.

We're happy without cable, especially because we can stream the sports events that we want to watch but aren't on basic channels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639184 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:05:06 +0000 tinyperson 1639184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love US Netflix, but the Canadian services isn't very good — plus, we have a max download per month of 50GB with our Internet service, and Netflix would eat into that big time. Cable is also included in our condo maintenance fees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639173 Fri, 16 May 2014 09:01:02 +0000 Synchronicity 1639173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have satellite and Netflix. We love watching TV and movies to unwind, so I don't think we would get rid of either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639140 Fri, 16 May 2014 08:54:15 +0000 PurplePumps 1639140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both right now.

DH really likes to watch TV so I'm not sure if we'd be able to make the switch to streaming only! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1639128 Fri, 16 May 2014 08:52:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 1639128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Satellite + Netflix. DH refuses to lose sports, so we keep paying for the dish. We could love on 10 channels...no joke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638809 Fri, 16 May 2014 06:44:31 +0000 Veggiemama 1638809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't pay for anything, we hook my laptop up to our TV and watch shows through Hulu (not huluplus, so it's free) or PBS.org. We also borrow movies from our library. I guess we do pay for our Internet connection but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638769 Fri, 16 May 2014 05:56:10 +0000 MrsKRB 1638769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the Roku with Hulu/Netflix for a while, but dh really wanted satellite with our new house so we have that now. I could honestly live without it though I was fine with Hulu/Netflix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638725 Fri, 16 May 2014 04:19:16 +0000 mediagirl 1638725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an option. We have none of the above but watch over the air TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638668 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:02:24 +0000 deactivated_account 1638668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have cable, Apple TV and Netflix and I still have trouble finding things sometimes. :bummed: what's that say about me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638628 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:55:36 +0000 Pepper 1638628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are actually discussing cutting cable and just using Amazon Prime and Netflix. We don't watch enough TV to justify the cost anymore. Sports are an issue for DH, but a lot of major events are on regular broadcast TV, and he streams baseball games through his phone... so hopefully we can make it work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638622 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:44:50 +0000 birdofafeather 1638622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hulu plus, amazon and netflix (streaming) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cablesatellite-or-netflix#post-1638610 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:31:04 +0000 coopsmama 1638610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have Netflix and Amazon Prime and it works well for us.
