Help me create a list of streaming services that are not Netflix or Paramount.
I will start. These are less expensive than N & P.
Acorn.tv $8.99/month
Starz.com (current deal $3.00/month x 3 months)
Britbox.com $10.99/month
Tv.Apple.com $12.99/month
I have found some great shows on all of these.
Free if you have a public library card.
Don't expect current block busters, but there are lots of classic films, documentaries, and cult films.

(1,487 posts)Get an Apple TV box. It turned my 4K TV into an actual 4K TV.
Even HBO max looks great! (People complain about max.)
Apple puts the money into the electronics.
This is separate from Apple TV+, which is an excellent TV service.
I switch services every month. This month is max. Next is Paramount (only because they are offering me a free month to "come back" ). Then a month of Disney.

Freevee ( which is the free Prime from Amazon)
Sling Freestream ( which is Sling with commercials)
All on Roku and then there is the Roku channel too.
I do pay for Spectrum for the networks and MSNBC and other regular cable channels.

(65,624 posts)meaning there's ads, but it's not like Prime with ads. Prime is nothing but 8 minutes of content, 10 minutes of Tremfya ads. Later, rinse, repeat. I digress.
Anyway, it's not a huge selection, but it's a nice option to have.
LNM
(1,216 posts)Which is a good thing to do anyway. They have tons of shows, including many, if not all, of Ken Burns works.
