We had no "cord" to cut, and the only streaming service we had for years was Netflix. So now I don't feel bad about still having less than a third of the cost of cable. <br /><br />When I traveled for business and had cable in motels, I realized I wasn't missing a darn thing.

We have Britbox and Acorn (I consider a work necessity!!)/ We gave up satellite/cable about ten years ago now so have almost every streaming service, still so much less expensive than what we used to pay for cable monthly. I've also been a PBS sustaining member for decades, so can watch PBS Passport. Definitely spoiled for choice. Lately I've been bingeing Doc Martin on Acorn and think I'm almost caught up to the final season. I watch the cozy and the hardboiled, depending on the mood of the moment. My favorite show on Britbox this past year was The Responder, starring Martin Freeman. Very tough but so good.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11945308758845062862022-12-29T13:50:00.619-05:002022-12-29T13:50:00.619-05:00NFL Sunday Ticket is leaving DirectTV next season ...NFL Sunday Ticket is leaving DirectTV next season and going to YouTube - https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/22/media/youtube-nfl-sunday-ticket/index.htmlElaine N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53340056388590794752022-12-29T13:30:46.909-05:002022-12-29T13:30:46.909-05:00We subscribed to BritBox to see Why Didn’t They As...We subscribed to BritBox to see Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?

I don't watch the cozy ones, I'm afraid, just can't , but I love love love the lawyer/detective dramas.

Right now the only kind of TV I can sit for are documentaries. I can barely read, either, which is distressing. But I'm finding short pieces--I hadn't realized how many short stories Agatha Christie wrote, for example. So, new Miss Marple mysteries!! But I would love the chance to visit London and the Cotswolds!

I understand binging to be watching several episodes consecutively. Which means I binged the original Masterpiece, The Forsyte Saga way back as part of a PBS fundraiser. I went to bed very late as V was on a biz trip, and had disturbing Forsyte dreams all night. No more binging beyond a couple of episodes for me thank you.

I've been a sustaining member of my local PBS station for years, so I have streamed some of their shows when I've missed them on TV. <br /><br />More recently, I signed up for Peacock so I can watch all of Leeds United's matches--although with their dishy American coach and a couple of US- born players, their games are often on cable TV. It's just such a treat for my sisters and me to have this team back in the PL and be able to watch them after decades of long distance fan-dom. <br /><br />I finally signed up for Netflix two months ago, because my Spanish teacher wants us to watch a few movies in Spanish. The first one was Ahí Te Encargo (You've Got This) which was a delightful funny movie with lots of crazy Mexican slang. Because I now have Netflix, I have been watching The Crown and loving it! I haven't really explored much beyond that yet, and don't binge very much. I need some time for reading!Gillian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475596719205511600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-70553381836161567452022-12-29T08:21:39.567-05:002022-12-29T08:21:39.567-05:00DANIELLE: I also watched GAMACHE and prefer the bo...DANIELLE: I also watched GAMACHE and prefer the books, too.Grace Koshidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934603958949938617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-85856003575865491022022-12-29T08:09:37.515-05:002022-12-29T08:09:37.515-05:00How I would like to win this contest but no one ar...How I would like to win this contest but no one around me watch shows in English and would appreciate Britbox.<br />I’m not usually paying for streaming services but occasionally, like this month, I benefit from a free month service to watch something appealing to me.
