      Guess I'll find other ways to get the content I want if they're going to keep doing that..

        I was going to start to subscribe to Hulu again in September when the new (ABC) season of TV shows appear, but I'll just stay torrenting. I'm not sure if the new FOX shows are still going to be with Hulu this year. I'll have to make up my mind whether to do the same for Paramount+ for CBS. I get Peacock for free (NBC shows) because we still have Comcast Cable (aka Xfinity) but how long is that going to go on for? Either my wife will wise up and get rid of cable TV or Xfinity will stop the Peacock freebie.

          Anyone remember when cable companies were being pressured for ala carte packages?
          And every time a local affiliate is up for renewal (usualy a CBS/Sinclair affiliate), there is a blackout because the channel plays hardball and wants literally $10 per subscriber. Imagine having 200 cable channels and paying $10 per channel.
          And yet, here we are, ala carte programming and prices significantly higher than $10 per channel.

              I don't, usually. I belong to 3 private torrent tracker that require users to be heavily vetted. In the 12, 14, and 4 years that I've been with them, I've never received a DMCA notice. That is different from my use of public torrent trackers, which I use on the rare occasions now when I can't find the video on one of my private torrent sites. In the many years in the past on the public torrent trackers, I either wasn't aware of VPNs at the time or I forgot to turn it on before I grabbed a video. That resulted in a total of 6 DMCA. I never received more than one in a year. I've used quite a few different VPN companies since I started to use them. Right now, I'm sticking with WindScribe. I've had great success with them and the price is reasonable.

                Mine just went up from around $278 to $308. That's TV, Home Phone & Internet. Spectrum is my provider. Plus, I have 3 cell phones with their Mobile service ($60)

                  Thank you. Windscrible sometimes has a great promo: 10 USD a year for life, but you have to wait until they advertise it.

                    I just went to cancel my Hulu Disney bundle, and they gave it to me for .99 cents a month for six months.

                      Now the latest Disney+ news - They are pulling a Netflix starting next month and are going to be cracking down on password sharing.

                      Disney+ last year announced plans to crackdown on password sharing. Now Disney, during its earnings call this week, announced plans to aggressively crack down on people sharing passwords. This effort to crackdown on password sharing will start in September 2024. Here is everything we know about Disney’s plans to stop password sharing. What’s Disney’s timeline […]


                      I've never subscribed to Disney+ because I've yet to see anything on it that interests me but reading the article I noticed a few things that set off alarm bells in my head that there might be trouble ahead in this forum. Firstly, the article states that the new subscriber agreement says Disney might start monitoring accounts. Depending on what they monitor it for, they might note unusual "viewing" patterns with someone using SF. A Disney rep went on to say, “We may … analyze the use of your account to determine compliance with this agreement” and “If we determine … that you have violated this agreement, we may limit or terminate your access to [Disney+].”
