Streaming vs Live TV

[Lily Adler]

So quick fun poll I wanted to do since the pandemic I know many here had a lot of free time when in quarantine or lock down. I was wondering how many people here watch traditional live television through cable, satellite, or a streaming live tv service or stream their shows on demand?

I still watch Live tv via YT-Tv...and streaming shows. I watch way to much tv.

I do mainly streaming and PVR shows, so I can skip the commercials.

I loved YTTV, but it got too expensive cause greedy me wanted to keep my Hulu/Disney+ bundle and HBO Max.

I canceled my YTTV subscription last month for that same reason

I have TV service pretty much exclusively for live sports. It's also nice for background noise when I'm doing something else. Everything else is through streaming services or on-demand. Though I only have access to most of the on-demand options because of my TV subscription.

I mostly watch VOD. I have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Disney+ subscriptions. I like watching series when I have time and don't be bound to live time. I do watch live streamings when it comes to sport, for example. I mostly use firesticktricks.com/free-sports-streaming-sites to watch all big sport events that can't be missed in real time.

Definitely SOD - but then again I do it with the routine, I‘m used from Live TV. I watch TV series on a specific day during the week (movies only during the weekend). And the Olympics and UEFA championship showed me, how great it is, to watch something live, thats not spoiled by anyone

I haven't watched live tv in ages. Not seeing commercials saves me a lot of time when I want to watch something.

Though I still get commercials when using YouTube and live streaming news programs.

I keep forgetting how much they edit out of these shows for syndication. I just saw an episode of The Nanny with an extra scene for an earlier episode that I've never seen before.

 

[Drizzle]

There are only a handful of shows I still watch on live TV and it feels like that list shrinks every year. Once The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul wrap up I may just ditch cable entirely.

I'm more inclined to keep up with a show when it's airing live on a week to week basis. There are so many streaming shows that I'm behind on simply because I don't or can't make the down time to keep up. Heck, even shows I have on Blu-Ray, like Doom Patrol Season 2, I have at my fingertips to watch at my leisure, but I just haven't yet. Even if I love the show, I'm more inclined to keep up with it when it airs live. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
