Yeah I'm coming back to it now. I bought a lot of movies through Apple so I didn't have to get off my backside to put a movie in, but after seeing what happened with Sony and licensing, and just a weariness over cloud services in general, I'm going to invest in a solid bluray player and start visiting some of the last few brick and mortar movie stores and patronize their businesses rather than Amazon.
You can just rip your physical media onto a Mac and then stream everything through an Apple TV. I was doing that for years until I got into Plex.
Not always. I'm still only paying $43.81 a month with taxes and fees for 140 HD channels, 3 streams, and 20 hours of DVR through DirecTV Stream. I also get ESPN Unlimited included for free now as well. I was an early adopter when it started in December of 2016 and at that time they said I would get my Go Big package price of $40 per month for life. I laugh every time the price goes up (it would cost $149.99 before taxes and fees today) and my price stays the same.
The nice thing about cancelling now is that Black Friday is just around the corner, they usually offer a really good deal if you ever did want to go back.
Just finished the new season of King of the Hill. Fantastic. They didn't lose a single step.
Some libraries, such as mine, provide free access to Kanopy and Hoopla, which have tons of movies, documentaries and other content, all commercial free, unlike Tubi and other FAST streamers. You download the app to your box and get a certain number of credits/tickets per month to spend on programming. Is that what your library offers?
Interesting. I was an early adopter, too. I was grandfathered in to the $35 Go Big plan (plus $5 for HBO) for the first five years or so. Then they started increasing the price every year, and I finally dropped it. How did you manage to lock in yours?Not always.

You can subscribe two more times so you can cancel two more times. Those are three cancellations.
Without any form of electronic correspondence or notification, the company unilaterally terminated my subscription due to the expiration of the payment card associated with my account many years ago. Upon attempting to rectify the issue, they endeavored to impose the current, elevated rate. I engaged in an extensive dialogue with the customer service representative, articulating the assurances initially provided to me. Subsequently, they implemented the necessary adjustment to my account to ensure the rate I was originally promised remains perpetual.
A lot of people here? I'd agree with that. The public at large? I just don't see your typical American bothering with researching VPNs, paying that monthly fee, doing all of that setup, when convenience is king.
