A poll could be meaningless if services aren’t apples to apples.We currently are using Amazon (prime member) and Netflix and PS Vue. I hope to do a trial with Hulu one day because I want to see which one we like best - Netflix or Hulu.
Hub’s research only shows how people are using each service, not how objectively good each service is so it’s still going to be up to you to determine how much each subscription is worth. However, it paints a much different picture than what we’re used to. In the past, we viewed Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon as competing for the same, all-you-can-eat buffet of all content. Now, each one has honed itself down to a specialty. Put together, all three subscriptions are still only about $30/month (or you can save money by rotating your subscriptions) which isn’t a bad deal to have access to almost anything you could want to watch.
I use Netflix and have confirmed that it works in Mexico, Germany, France and Italy. The only problem is with subtitles. Like the movie is dubbed in German but with only French subtitles.
For others, we use Kodi on my laptop with a Chromecast to the TV. We often find that the TV itself will stream France 24 in English as well as Al Jazeera, RT, and a few others for news. Interesting perspectives and better than the all trump all the time us networks.
Our biggest problem is finding what we want. We first search Netflix then try Kodi and tracktv. We find that Kodi is better at downloading than live streaming because it compensates for bad times and gives us a good download. It takes 45 minutes to download a movie and can manage 2 or 3 at a time.
We don't do Prime because we are Canadian and do not buy much. After being retired for 15 years, we have most everything we want.
But, both take a back seat to the real love of my TV life - A flat wave antenna connected to my OTA Tivo DVR.
Yea I must admit that I don't use it much. There is enough Netflix to last for ten years. Went there for Nashville (disappointing) and Handmaids Tale (satisfied with 4 episodes).Sounds like you may have gone to the dark side of Kodi.
