Sorta ndr: if you don't have cable

sierramist_03

What do you use to watch tv or certain shows? We have a play station and a wii. We do have net flicks already. I just didn't know if their are other options.

We have dish through our landlord at the moment.  But after we buy a house here, we'll go back to being antenna-only.  Is that an option for you?

We tried and we can only sometimes get one station.

We have a hulu plus subscription and a netflix subscription. We view both on the xbox 360. 

We also have a Rotku that you can view the same things (along with Pandora, youtube and some other stations that they have availalble.)  We don't have it hooked up right now because we just moved, but will have it in our bedroom once things get situated.

Maybe you need a more powerful antenna or better antenna angle.  Although, being in Kansas, I'm guessing it's just a ways to the closest tv market, right?

Hmmm.  If you have Netflix already, what about Hulu plus?

Netflix & Hulu Plus. Actually right now we just have Netflix, but Hulu Plus is good, too. We don't really watch a lot of tv, so it works for us.

Yeah we are 25 miles to the closet station and 100 to the next closet stations.

We pay $13ish/month for the super basic cable (broadcast, a bunch of PBS, maybe Discovery?), we stream Netflix through our Bluray player, and we hook the laptop up to the TV to watch Hulu.

We are about 45 miles from our nearest station so antenna doesn't really work for us and cable doesn't come this far out of the city limits. We have Dish Network satellite. Dish and DirectTV are the two big satellite providers around here and honestly that's what most people have is satellite.

We use Hulu plus for $7.99 a month. We have a computer hooked up to our TV upstairs, and direct internet on our TV downstairs.

We have apple tv, an Xbox and a media pc. We use iTunes, amazon, Hulu and Netflix.

Netflix here. Also I just plug my laptop into the teevee, and steam things on my laptop from free sites like regular hulu and some other less legal ones.

we watch over the air tv with an antenna,  we have netflix through the play station and amazon plus. Also we've bought individual shows through itunes in the past.

You have either a converter box or a digital-capable TV, right? We have a converter box and antenna (and Netflix streaming) and it's still a pain in the @ss. I swear, that whole switch was a ploy to give cable companies more money. Adjusting the antennae is a pain! Apparently we can get a rooftop antennae now that we own the home.

The on/off switch....

TV is not a big part of our lives.

We use our blue-ray player to stream netflix and hulu plus. (I think you can do those both on the wii, too.)

For regular broadcast TV, we have an old-fashioned antenna and we get quite a few channels, despite being 60 miles from the "local" stations.
