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

Rob5342

We've got Prime, Netflix, Disney+ and Nowtv (which we got for £2.99 a month). I'd like to trim down a bit but we all seem to be watching different things spread across all of them. I'm thinking of stopping paying for the TV licence as we very rarely watch anything on iPlayer or live on ITVx or the channel 4 and channel 5 apps.

None. Although I do get Disney plus free via my Lloyds account.

technically 2 at the moment Prime (although I initially got Prime for the other benefits, not the streaming), and Netflix until we've exhausted it/got bored. We get Disney+ for free via a bank account perk

Zero payment for streaming from me. Have not paid the TV TAX for £20 years. Neither have I watched, with all the advertising breaks and the sorry state of the bbc, I don't miss it.

Barclays Blue Rewards is £5/month - so your Apple TV (that you don’t use) isn’t free.

Maybe subscribe for a couple of series that we want to watch. See if there's anything else we fancy. After a couple of months, we cancel and subscribe somewhere else. Occasionally get a cheap deal when they're trying to get you back.

I’m definitely in the rotation camp. There’s no point in paying for four platforms when you’re only binge-watching one show. Subscribing for a month, catching up, and switching is the only way to keep the budget sane.

Whats a streaming service ?

None although I do have a TV license

I get a student free trial of Prime every year or so when it resets (been a student for 6 years) and I use Disney+ that my parents get with their bank account but don't use.
