I subscribed to Britbox because, now that I am retired, I wanted to watch Shakespeare's plays. Too much went over my head so I gave up. But I watched all of their Sherlock varieties, all Agatha Cristie's varieties, all of Vera, all of McDonald and Dodds, so I guess murder mysteries are my niche.

For a year I think.

Had to get a new SIM card in my daughter’s phone on Sunday. Because we went in the store we got $20-30 off our monthly bill and these two free subscriptions. Unfortunately I have to go through their app which is a nightmare. T mobile.

We have Apple Amazon Hulu Netflix Paramount and Peacock. We watch almost everything after airings. I had no idea how few commercials we see until I started watching football games.

(usually black Friday sales) I will sometimes add whatever is the best deal. Currently, Paramount + and Hulu.

Do I watch them all enough to make it worthwhile. No. But, the ones I would most be likely to get rid of are either bundled in my internet or cell phone plan, included with Amazon Prime, or I got them so cheap for a year that I can't complain.

I work for a Cable/ISP and we get logins for anything we carry, so I get Max/Showtime/Starz/ESPN3 through work.
Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, Prime, Disney and Paramount otherwise, although Paramount will likely get dropped and we're looking at bundling costs for Disney/Hulu. We also have a YouTube premium account, but just to avoid commercials, not for live tv.
