Recently got a Dollar from Nielsen for inducement to take their survey, with promise of $10 if I do it.
Lots of TV and streaming related questions. To all of which my answer was no. No TV, no cable TV, no Over the air tv, no internet streaming. Also tons of questions on junk food and junk drinks, thay also received No.
Yes a week later did get $10 in the mail, as promised.

Getting a taste of what we are missing by not paying for TV services of some kind... Got cable in the cabin we are renting... Spent 30 minutes scanning channels before leaving it on local news since there is nothing on worth watching.

Exactly!
The flip side of this is that you've already seen 80% of the movies on cable and you have no interest in the other 20%. Still, you've got a half hour to kill before bedtime so while looking at the channel guide you see a favorite movie so you flip the channel over to it. Commercials. Then you see another movie you've seen and liked and flip it over to it. Commercials. Repeat for just about anything on cable. When you do get something to watch on cable, just wait five minutes and there will be commercials.

Does anyone have experience with ScreenPix from Amazon? It is $3/month, if you have Prime, and it has a decent collection of old movies. I am looking at how to replace TCM when I drop Sling soon.

Thanks for this tip. I'll be signing up for the yearly plan with my AmEx CC in a few months when my special 50% discount rate ends.

Thanks! Does this pre-date the Disney+ arrangement?

May want to verify but those promotions listed for HBOMax may not be around in a few months although it's likely other new ones will pop up. Seems like all streaming services are struggling keeping customers for the long term so promos are more the norm.

^^^ So, just pay for the whole year, to lock it in.
Also, HBOMax and Discovery+ are merging next year into one thing called something like Warner Brothers Discovery. So, you will get HBO stuff and all the Discovery channels, including TCM. I don't think prices have been announced.

Got it too. It must be a mass mailing for those on their list.

Mobile only, can't get NFL+ on TVs. And yeah the app checks for HDMI or mirrored connections and won't play if it detects them.
