MSE Forum Poll: How many streaming services does your household pay for?

MSE_Stephen

Streaming costs add up fast. Let us know how many streaming services your household currently pays for, or whether you prefer to rotate them instead of keeping several at once.

One.

YouTube premium family @ £19.99 per month. This is all our family uses (and wants to use).

We also have a TV Licence, but I am very tempted to cancel it as we never watch BBC and so it's very poor value just to stream BBC news on iPlayer on very rare occasions.

Edit: Just remembered we get Apple TV free with our Barclays account. Nobody ever uses it.

When DD was still living here she paid for Netflix and Disney, but now we have none, probably because neither of us are that bothered about films/ too much American stuff.

Mainly watch the BBC, either live or on catchup. Sometimes watch ITV for the sport that is not all on SKY + ITV news is OK

Not that fussed. Got 50 odd Freeview , 5 channels on catch-up, iPlayer has program series going back decades, films to stream, podcasts and music to listen to.

Even if that doesn't please DVDs, YouTube, read a book, paint , draw , garden, cook, sort my photos or go for a walk. I could even speak to a friend. 😉

Only have Amazon Prime Video, but that's only because we wanted the free postage.

Happy with Freeview, ITVx, iPlayer, My5, etc

Netflix, YouTube, Amazon... But then I have a Lloyds Club account (no fee as I pay in £2000/month and benefit from a decent rate Regular Saver) which provides me with Disney and a Barclays account (Blue, £5/month) which provides me with appleTV.

Definitely check what your bank account could do for you!!

I only have 2 at any given time, swapping out as necessary. Currently Prime video and Paramount+ but since there won’t be any new Star Trek for a few months I’m going to swap Paramount for Apple TV which I’m told has some good sci-fi. I also get Disney + as a freebie from Lloyds bank.

I have Netflix, but recently added Now TV Entertainment because it was offered for £2.99 a month for 12 months

We have Sky stream basic package. Included in this are Discovery+, Netflix, Disney+, HBO and somthing called Hey you (incorrect spelling but it's something like that).

I wouldn't pay for them seperately.

Also have Amazon prime only for free delivery.

Just one …. However we just have a Netflix add on account… We pay the BBC licence fee as well so we can watch iplayer and live TV - not sure if that counts.

Might be interesting to know if people are ditching TV licence in favour of other streaming platforms, there seems to be little new stuff on BBC to suite our tastes - but then we are getting older and not the target audience..

Only 1, I change them around, at moment Now TV movies as only £2.99 until end of July.

Surprising how many TV series there are on ITVX and My 5 to watch (don't have a TV licence for BBC I player).

I wait until all the episodes of a few series I have to watch, then pay so I can watch a few episodes a day.
