Streaming services

If I have to pick only one streaming service, it would be Disney+. Seems to have the most quality entertainment per dollar. It won't get you the broadcast network or local TV, however, so no ABC/NBC/CBS.

CBS you can subscribe separately. PeacockTV can get you NBC. There is no way to get ABC without getting a TV package from somebody (e.g., maybe Comcast, maybe YouTubeTV).

If you are not picky about what you stream 24x7, the free YouTube will do ... just set it to auto-play whatever Google/YouTube's algorithm thinks you want to play next.

If you have Amazon Prime membership (say, because you like "free shipping"), you would also already have Amazon Prime's streaming service, and you can set that to auto-play so it streams 24x7 too.

Considering where you live, locals should be able to be picked up on a simple indoor antenna.

With grandkids, Disney+ would be the one that would interest me...

Before you pay out for Disney+, remember all those fantastic shows and movies Ax recommended?

No, neither do I.

Disney+ and partners are woke

Oh, I do!
My Friend Flicka, Gidget, Mouse Club, Old Yeller, Flying Nun, and lots more of his favorites.

Ax, sorry if I wasn't supposed to mention these, but I remember your post like it was yesterday.

I thought Peacock was "free" with xfinity. No? I recently called xfinity to upgrade our internet service to their 1000 mbps service plus their AMC service and phone. Runs $170/month. Separately we have Netflix and Amazon. We occasionally will drop Netflix and move to CBS or Hulu to graze on some of their series.

@kluurs is right about PeacockTV being free.

Is Peacock really available for free?

Yes, Peacock is really free! No credit card required. You just need an email address and password to sign-up to access thousands of hours of great entertainment instantly. Once you're signed up, you can start watching Peacock right away. No strings attached. No expiring trial period. It's just free.

The CW is also free, but you have to their app to watch. I use it mostly to watch the DC superhero series.
