Streaming Service recommendations.

I have Amazon Prime, and CBS All Access, the later I am using much more than the first. Any recommendations for a third service? I like both movies and TV programs.

Also the US should already have Disney+ which I'm waiting for as it doesn't launch until next month here.
Now they have taken Seinfeld off of Prime I'm thinking of ditching it.

I highly recommend Netflix and if you have kids or young adults, Disney Plus.

(WatchTv) service that comes with my cell plan and allows me to watch AMC, TMC and about two dozen channels. I also have ROKU and find the ROKU channel (free) often carries some content worth watching.

I don't watch much live tv anymore, though I can stream MSNBC and CNN or listen only via the Tune-In radio app. But, I do like to stream while on the treadmill or exercise bike.

and checked out the free HBO. Looks like all of those free ones are free for 2 weeks only. Screw that. Anyone else know anything about that. I could be wrong.

I get Netflix from my stepdaughter, Primes costs me a little over $80 for a year as I got the vet discount and Hulu is $11.99 a month.
