I have Directv with 6 receivers and I think it just went up to $124 a month. I probably don't need all 6 receivers but I am too lazy to move them from room to room.

I probably pay around $120/month in streaming services

I could probably cut down but I think it’s totally worth the money

My parents pay $145/month for cable TV with no commercial free stations.
Are you paying for individual movies? Do you have one very expensive Live TV service?

I honestly have not heard of over 90% of those.

I have Amazon, Netflix, and HBO (I have no idea what the difference between HBO Max and HBO Now is....) And, I have Youtube Red (which I don't think is on there)....

There are simply becoming too many... Subscribing to all would cost more than all of my utilities combined... Soon traditional Cable will be replaced with digital streaming where you have to subscribe to each service that you want....

HBO Max is replacing HBO Now as of May 27th. It will include some Live TV gathered from TBS and TNT. HBO Max is meant to mimic CineMax which is also owned by AT&T.

"HBO GO" is a service only for people who have HBO from a cable company.

"Youtube Premium" formerly "YouTube Red", was launched as "Music Key".

This is probably a sports move as TNT broadcasts a lot on NBA games
Right now I cut the cord and not missing cable because no sports
As sports comes back, I will have to revaluate my streaming choices so I don't miss live sports that interests me

Sports is the whole reason I haven't cut the cord. I would say before this pandemic 90% of my video viewing was sports. More than 90% during college football season.

Yes, we have Hulu Streaming Cable + No commercial package which like $65/month. I would drop the streaming cable but my fiancé likes it.

Other than that, I have
- Netflix 4K plan with extra screens
- Amazon Prime
- HBO
- Disney+
-History Channel Vault
-Apple TV (got it free for 1 or 2 years)

I will periodically cancel Disney+ and History Channel Vault when there’s nothing I want to watch

Sometimes I will rent individual movies on Amazon or Vudu
