Or both?
What do you have?
We only have netflix and I like it that way - saves money and since I'm so busy with school anyway, I could never keep up with primetime TV. We just get the basic channels and the only thing I ever watch on TV is the Bachelor/Bachelorette - only thing I don't like is that if I have to miss it, no DVR and then you have to wait a week to watch it online.
So any show I watch is usually at least a year old!

Netflix. We can't justify the cost of cable, at least not right now. We don't watch enough TV.

We have cable, Netflix and amazon prime.
We keep talking about cutting cable. We have it because we watch HBO and Shotime. I'm praying for the day when you can pay by channel and not by package!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: ugh I know right! There are less than 5 channels I would watch!

We didn't have cable/Netflix for over a year and it was nice. Now we have cable -- DH insisted for sports. Wish we could pay per channel since we don't watch much else besides sports.

We just have Netflix and Amazon Prime and it works well for us. We try not to watch too much tv anyway and binge watching shows on Netflix is fun anyways -- no need to wait another week for another episode!

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!

I have cable, Apple TV and Netflix and I still have trouble finding things sometimes. 
what's that say about me?

I don't have an option. We have none of the above but watch over the air TV.

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.

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.

Satellite + Netflix. DH refuses to lose sports, so we keep paying for the dish. We could love on 10 channels...no joke!

We just have cable TV. DH really likes to watch TV so I'm not sure if we'd be able to make the switch to streaming only!

We have both right now. We signed up for Netflix to cancel cable, just never did.

We have satellite and Netflix. We love watching TV and movies to unwind, so I don't think we would get rid of either.

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.

We have Roku with hulu+ and Prime. We're happy without cable, especially because we can stream the sports events that we want to watch but aren't on basic channels.

We have satellite! We used to have cable but decided to try something new when we moved.

We have satellite (for DH's NFL ticket access) and Netflix

We have Netflix and Amazon Prime plus what's on the airwaves. (Old school like that :P) Between Amazon and Netflix we have no need for anything else!

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 & amazon) and I just hook my laptop to the TV.

I voted Netflix, but we just use other random streaming sites online. Our computer is hooked up to our TV, so we watch everything online.

Both...we talked about getting rid of cable but dh needs sports and being on Mat leave for the year I need daytime TV !!!

We have Netflix, and Amazon Prime Streaming. I am 100% happy with that! I don't miss cable one bit!

We just dropped cable and have Netflix and Hulu and I'm happy we made the switch, saving about $50 a month.

@NaturallyCathy: haha we need an antenna to get the basic channels lol!

@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.

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.

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.
