I watch a few YouTube videos when I have time, and that’s the extent of my entertainment. I can’t keep up with weekly shows and I’m not the type to binge watch anything. Netflix + antenna sounds like a good solution!

I actually only have Amazon Prime through my parents, so I get access to the free shipping and nothing else (which works fine, since I’m not a TV watcher and I don’t order too much!). It’s always worth reevaluating what services are meeting your needs, though. Good to know Chromecast and the Xbox have worked for you!

We may be getting rid of Amazon Prime soon since it’s almost time for renewal and we only use it for the free shipping. I haven’t really found much variety in shows or movies with it thus far. We also use Chromecast  our Xbox to stream everything to the T.V. They both work like a charm!

Hopefully all the cord-cutters here are convincing enough to bring that 80% down!

You’re very right that most people upload highlights to YouTube – there’s really no way you’re missing out with social media these days.
