Tidal music (expensive, but awesome music streaming service)
NHL

XBOX game pass for the kids

been considering getting rid of the NHL pass. Subscriptions definitely add up each month.

Still better IMO if I want stuff not on netflix. It also lets you automate a lot more. All the shows in my library automatically fetch new episodes and then organize them on my HTPC. And with Plex you can remotely stream stuff so I can watch it on the go when I travel as well as a lot of my family streams from my server too.

A bunch of my extended family were hanging onto their 100$ a month cable just because of one or two shows they wanted to keep watching, so it's pretty easy to set that up and then got them to cancel and their much happier.

Same. When people say Amazon, they actually mean Amazon Prime (which includes shipping and other shopping perks, and also the Prime Video streaming service).

I assumed with this thread being on the Entertainment section, that it would be only entertainment based subscription. Otherwise yeah I would have listed Internet/Cable, Utilities and Security as well.
Planning on cutting down security next year though.

Hah, I didn't notice the section this was posted in. My fail.

I guess mine is just Netflix, google music and Telus TV then.

[dj_rice]

Paying for porn is almost as stupid as paying for vivint.

:rofl::rofl: I threw that in there to see if anyone would notice hahahah

[pheoxs]

PornHub Premium

I know its a joke but just so you know you can get website subs off the darknet for like 2-5$ one time purchase that are lifetime ones (or at least a year before they get taken down). For shits and giggles I bought a brazzers account for 2$ once because I had some leftover bitcoins and it still worked 2 years later. Though idk why anyone would pay for it, its not really any better than free stuff

Security? That's in the food budget, as in dogfood.

[tonytiger55]

Telus. Internet only
Netflix. (Well.. I don't really pay. I piggyback off a friends account)
Underground heated parking at work. Just started paying today
Mobile phone add on for international calls.
Millap. Not really a subscription. Micro loans to people in developing countries.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

In terms of entertainment only:

- Shaw - Internet only, no TV
- Share a Netflix account with a buddy
- Motor Trend on Demand, mainly for motorsports coverage.

[speedog]

Cable? Internet? Cell phone?

Dirty magazines? Lol

Is cable/internet/cell phone considered a subscription service? No one has listed any of these even though most have one or several of these and we do have TELUS Optik TV, TELUS internet and cell phones. No magazines either.

I presumed everyone already had internet and a cellphone

I wonder if I can use my health spending account on a porn subscription? I mean, it raises heart rates, and can help prevent prostate cancer.

What do you guys carry for subscriptions...

I have Netflix / Prime and Torrent stuff on occasion.

No young kids so I passed on Disney.

[Tik-Tok]

The only thing to change since my last post, is Spotify Duo, instead of single.

[killramos]

I have a fair number I guess:

Apple One Family
Prime
Cable with all sports
Netflix (under my cable)
Crave (also under cable)
Disney+
Xbox Live / Gamepass (prepaid for 3 years)
Peloton
DoorDash Dashpass (math just works out for me on this one)
Onstar

Subs add up lol, that being said I think I get good value out of each of them. Except probably onstar thats a lot of money to remote start my truck lmao.

- Peloton
- Spotify
- Nintendo online
- Xbox live / Game Pass

- Sirius XM X 2 cars

For how often we buy and drink nespresso I consider those pods a subscription too..

[spikerS]

Man, that's stupid. I would be seriously miffed if I had to pay for a remote start subscription. Can you not just do it from the key fob, or does OnStar give you extended range?

I have an app for my phone for my F150 that lets me start my truck, but that's free, and I have the shorter range by doing it from my key fob as well.

As for subscriptions, we have:
Disney +
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Costco
Xbox Live
Google Music

*edit* I forgot Baygirl pays for Sirrius XM in her car. I can't be bothered for my truck.

[Disoblige]

I can't tell if people just aren't including cable TV in their posts other than killramos or if they actually don't have a TV channel subscription w/ PVR, etc.

I could have sworn rage was always talking about paying for NHL Game Center etc.

I agree I think people underestimate the subscriptions they pay for.

[schocker]

Monthly
Apple One - Cancelled spotify/monstercat and put gym on hold
Google Drive - Can probably get rid of this with onedrive
Hulu - Dropped to add tier and will likely cancel once my year of unblockus is up
Netflix
Cable + Crave + HBO - Currently on excellent deal for one more year, cancelled DAZN
Youtube Premium

Yearly
Disney+ - Wanted in before price increase
Xbox GPU - Now no need now for ea access and also cancelled origin access premier
Office 365 - Cancelled dropbox, this is a far better deal with cards from costco

I have a subscription to a waste management contractor that comes with a sweet "garbageday" app. Does that count?

You’re right. Those are yearly. Missed that and f1 tv.

[npham]

Which just reminds me that F1 TV isn't available on Apple TV. They were supposed to get this added ages ago. I don't see how difficult this port should have been to spend 2 years and nothing has materialized.

No, their partner (Tata) in delivering the service basically sucked ass. The partnership dissolved last week. Liberty is redoing the whole thing from scratch, and has been for months. Not sure when the new product will be available, or if existing service continues on till it's ready or what. Might be more short term pain before we see anything stable.

At this point I rely on AT&T TV Now and ESPN to watch the races, while my iPad has the dual in cars feeds that I cycle through with F1 TV, and laptop with live timing. Works for me.

Ah good, hopefully apple tv and android apps are on the horizon. I do still record the pre/post sky coverage on TSN, but even that is a mess with them and their ads and cutting programs short to show you the top 30 left handed batters with names that start with J.

I mean, yeah, I will just invite myself over HAHA

[vengie]

Aside from Cable + Internet I am a degenerate living off other people's subscriptions.

- Netflix - Parent's account
- Disney+ - Sister's account
- Crave - Wife's brother
- Peloton - Parent's account

I give them nice things for Christmas so it evens out.

Internet 50$ /month - 300mbit/20mbit
Netflix 4k 17$ /month - shared
Disney free - shared
Prime 79$/year
Tweaknews to populate plex - 45$/year (renew on black fridays)
Plex - free - lifetime pass

Under 30$/month for streaming and then internet on top so not bad. It also covers my parents' setups as well.

Here's a shitty pic of the setup from last year that I sent to a friend. Excuse the mess that the kid left me.

The big problem with this setup is synchronization. Live timing and in car feeds are 20-30s ahead of my TV stream. There's a delay option on live timing, but not for in car. It's like those bud light goal lamps.

But yea, I don't just watch the F1 race, I try to look at as much of the data that's in front of me. If I'm following a particular race against drivers, I can see when they're cooling off tires, charging batteries more for attack on next lap, and with full in car radio stream I get more info before it's covered by the broadcast crew. It's nerdy, but I really enjoy the data analysis aspects, and yell at the TV when so and so is making poor strategic decisions.

I typically rewatch a race multiple times to see what else I missed. Then I listen to the post race podcasts and get upset at myself if I miss a detail.

[colsankey]

So you're not really much of an F1 fan then huh?

:drama:

J/K- Thats a pretty cool setup.

No cable or PVR. Thats what pirating is for. Though we do have one other subscription that I forget about because its annual, not monthly.

- Ring doorbell cam through google.
- ICloud ~ 50gb/month as an emergency backup for my phone
- One Drive/office 365 (through my business but I guess its still monthly)
- Quickbooks (again through my business)

Usually I do NHL live too but I'm having a really hard time with the shortened season and super lame blackouts so I've been using the in-laws shaw BlueCurve to watch the Flames. I'll probably still end up buying it when I get frustrated enough that there is nothing on TV during night shifts.

I had a subscription to the Athletic for a hot minute but I just don't care enough about anything outside of hockey to feel that I was getting much value out of it.

[duaner]

Prime.

That is all.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has a monthly subscription box of some sort - with all of them out there lol...

As for me:

Pretty minimal.

Couple of VPNs, Astrill and SurfShark(excellent BTW, one of the cheapest deals out there, and there geo spoofing is 2nd to none, very fast too), Astril is expensive, been with them 6 years now, about 15$ a month, Surfshark was a couple dollars a month on the deal I got for 3 years. Dropped my other VPNs as they were no longer required.

Shaw 1gbit - hard to say on price, it's wrapped in a bundle, average cost most likely.
Hulu USA Premium - about 20$ CAD a month
HBO Max USA - again about $20 CAD a month, on US credit card as it'll reject Canadian ones, works with SurfShark US VPN server while in Canada.
Crave/HBO - Yes, HBO Canada is redundant with the US HBO Max, but it came with the Crave deal we got, which was IIRC $15 a month for the year, around $5 off
Disney+ - regular price
Netflix 4k - regular price, VPN access to most of the Netflix World's catalogues
Prime - regular price, Prime will work with VPN to give access to US and UK Prime
Usenet/etc - I can't remember the price, IIRC it's $15 CAD a month for Newshosting

I have 3 home theater PCs and a large NAS, using Apple 4k tv on 2 of them and an nVidia Shield on the other, 2 65" LG Oled and one 77" LG Oled.

Once our "deal" is up with Shaw, the cable TV is gone, the missus watches it sometimes, I can't even remember the last time I used it.

Pro tip: if you have any theme packs you don’t use, you can switch one to Amazon Prime. I just did this and now I don’t have to pay Amazon for prime any more.

Another pro tip, if you are out of theme packs you can redeem your “Telus rewards” for prime.

Or bill credits at the same redemption so whatever you want.

The only solution. I believe you can't even use smart dns service on them, they're hard coded to Google DNS.

I guess another solution is to get a real streaming device haha.
