For us, especially with having a kid Disney+ is #1
bonus that we get it for free for the next 2 years.

Tubi is #2. So much awesome content, and it's free.

We have discount Netflix, so it's worth it for the $5 a month.

and that's it.

Hmmm…

1. Netflix - We just use it the most.
2. Amazon Prime. Yes it’s “free/not free” but still used.
3. Fubo for football.
4. Apple TV. Part of a bundle and has decent but limited shows.
5. DAZN. How the mighty have fallen. Lost EPL and now have PPV and limits on number of devices that can be used. Terrible policy. This is on the chopping block for me.

Honourable mention to TSN for the month of the World Cup.

In no particular order, I use the following apps/services, paid and free (legal and otherwise), for TV viewing
OTA - 80+ channels
Netflix (free with wireless plan)
Prime (as someone said free/not free)
AppleTV+ (free with wireless plan)
Surfshark VPN
IPTV - for all Canadian and live content
Kodi with Fen addon
Real Debrid
Trakt (and TV Show Tracker - trakt.tv client)
Tivimate (lifetime sub from year's ago)

Cost (not including Prime) for all is about $20/month

1. Plex.
2. ....

I cut off all the other services, got sick and tired of paying nearly $100 a month for streaming services.

Yeah we have Disney plus, and our friends have Netflix. So we each pay for one, and have access to two.

Apple+/Paramont+/Disney are the best.

I have Netflix and Prime, but rarely watch anything. I use Netflix more out of the 2. But the streaming service I use the most, by far? And this will be controversial... SN Now. Use it daily. So if I'm ranking the streaming services I have in order of usage, it's...

1. SN Now
.

.
2. Netflix
3. Prime

Pretty much:

Crave / HBO
Disney+

Don't really care for Netflix. I want to watch good movies and more than the occasional good tv series. Netflix has its moments, but they're far too scattered and infrequent as far as content.

Just found the 2003 TMNT on Paramount, so that catapults it to the top while I power through it.

I've been searching all streaming services for a decade, and it never made it in its entirety to DVD. I think YouTube had episodes for a while, but I can't remember for sure.

Anyway..

Netflix is probably king, then Crave.

Disney has the odd show or movie, but there's usually not more than one thing going at a time that interests me. Same with Amazon and Apple.

Crave just added Mystery Men, so… take that!

* unless Paramount already had it.

With this thread over 7 months old now, has anyone's opinion changed? Have any shifted up or down your list?

It depends on which Walmart.

Westbrook? Tens of thousands of hours of content right there.
