Unpopular opinion: Cable is still worth it

[BrothaZay]

nowadays you got to have multiple streaming apps plus a major one like YouTube tv or Pluto or whatever that shyt is called to really watch whatever you want. Pluto and apps like that are like $50 plus uses a large amount of bandwidth or something like that and the quality can be spotty at times

You might as well pay $20-$30 more n just get cable

I have a cable package(which includes dvr and on demand ) which is like $80

Hulu and Amazon prime

I have other apps I don’t pay for like hbo max and Netflix

I can 100% say since getting cable again my tv viewing experience has increased tremendously

Firestick

Can’t lie I been thinking about this lately. Me and my girl got the jail broken fire sticks all over the crib with the highest speed internet. And we got Ero. But we got mad apps. One of them has every channel known to man but it’s shaky sometimes. Between all the apps and the buffering at random times paying a little extra to go back to cable don’t seem that bad.

Plus I kinda miss flipping thru channels like the old days

Just get a basic package with no movie channels

They usually come with on demand and other shyt now

Way better than the bootleg shyt

Honestly for the shows I actually watch on demand was covering all of them over the streaming apps. You gotta realize for certain shows the streaming apps may take a year or so to update new episodes I got tired of it

I could’ve got a firesticc or whatever but didn’t want to deal with the shytty quality plus fakkit ass AT&T has a limit on the amount of bandwidth or whatever you can use per month over wife. It’s a high limit but still a limit none the less

This. I can get everything on cable, ppv and streaming in 190 countries, for $15 a month. And they’ll throw in porn on 200 extra channels for $6

no wires right … because cable with wires is a big inconvenience

YouTube TV holds it down for me and my wife.
It's a streaming app but I look at it more like cable tbh

 

[Shadow King]

I agree. It's just at a price that reverts it back to a luxury. But after X amount of apps you may as well get cable.

The main tv has a box about the size of my wallet. I plug it into the usb and into the wall soccet. You don’t notice it at all. Any other tv in the house you just download the app. Can download it on my iPad too

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

It's a lot less hassle having cable to be honest

 

[jdubnyce]

Man, I need a stable link/app for live HD sports, then I'd cut the cord for good

 

[MrLogic]

For sports

yes

other then that you have to deal with the delay in streaming services

Wait what? How?

 

[Vandelay]

If the on-demand is solid, I would agree. Some cable has janky-ass on-demand with nothing on it.

Literally thinking about canceling Max or whatever the fukk it's called now, they took a ton of shyt off, the GUI sucks, and everything from Netflix to Tubi has their most popular shows/movies.

I only think about it when I’m watching football but Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night stream great on Amazon and Peacock for me.
