There are different plans that allow multiple people to view concurrently, and you pay more for extra watchers. Netflix does have language about what constitutes a "household", and the extra viewers need to live in the same house. As I said above, I don't know if that's a new policy or an old one that they plan to start enforcing.

Everybody hates to lose something they had, or have to pay more for it, but I don't see it as a problem for Netflix to make this move.

It remains to be seen whether it's a bad business decision that loses them more revenue from subscribers who leave than what they gain by making the change.

You tube is a lot, something like $70 a month. That includes all major channels and dvr. I don’t do add Ons, like sports.

That plus internet is about $120, which is about $50 less than I was paying for cable many years ago.

Cindy, how can I get the tennis channel? Assuming there is one. I would be entertained for hours and hours on end...

My other most wanted channel would be like the old Turner classic movies. 24 hrs of Golden Age Hollywood movies. If anyone knows of anything similar, please let me know...

Daniel, do you have a subscription to HBOMax? They have on demand movies curated by TCM. And of course you have access to all the other HBO stuff.

And TCM is available via other streaming services like Hulu +, DirecTV, and Sling.

There's also a service called Kanopy. My library subscribes to the service, and as a library card holder I can sign up on Kanopy for free. I think you may be able to get access via a university, too, if you have a relationship with one.

Not sure if this article will be paywalled. A local reporter talks about my library signing up for Kanopy a few years ago.

They have a lot of classic movies with no commercials. I think a particular library/university can limit the number of movies you borrow a month. You might want to see if your library is a subscriber.
