In the past 6 months or so I've started watching a lot of YouTube, it's very convenient for hobbyist channels when I don't want to watch something that requires a lot of concentration. Other than that we have Sky Q which is great, the multiroom works really well and the app is great. I watch golf and football so I'm stuck with Sky.

Have Netflix and Amazon Prime, Prime is more of a secondary subscription. Both get watched now and again, I should probably subscribe and unsubscribe to Netflix but I can't really be arsed for the sake of £10.

Where’s the Freesat option?

I use Freesat, Freeview, NowTV (all 4 passes), BT TV, Amazon Video, iplayer, itv on demand, All4

Netflix, Sky+ and digital downloads via Plex Media Server.

Rarely do I watch live TV anymore.

Virgin media and a IPTV sub mainly for sports.
Although I have been using YouTube a lot recently.

Found myself watching YouTube more and more lately, seems to get new daily videos in my recommended feed from the likes of The Verge, Vox, Vice and VisualPolitik.

I watch TV in a variety of ways. Live TV broadcasts, catch-up services and on-demand stuff like Netflix.

I can’t remember the last time I watched a DVD or Blu-Ray, all the movies I watch are either through Sky/Netflix or pirated.

I've recently flogged a bunch of Blu-rays barring my all time favourites which I MUST own a physical copy of.

I'll probably start buying 4K Blu-rays as I don't see streaming matching the image quality any time soon.

I have kept a collection of favourites on DVD and Blu-Ray but I have no idea why I still have them. I’ve no interest in searching out a physical disc and putting it into a machine like some sort of primitive caveman.

I don't watch live TV (Freeview) much - the BBC news at 10 most days, and any live sport that interests me. There might be an occasional film or documentary on, but I'd probably record those rather than watch live or use catch-up services.

I use Netflix pretty regularly as well, and watch quite a bit on YouTube, although it's not what I'd class as TV or film stuff.

I've always been somewhat baffled by how many people pay for Sky, especially these days. Paying for a service and still having loads of adverts, having to pay for more channels than you need or want…it's pretty outdated.

. I still watch most TV series and films this way. I'm not a caveman... I have a colour TV and everything.

These days for me it's mostly YouTube and Twitch for hobbies and interests, Netflix, NowTV and Amazon Video for entertainment, and Freeview for BBC News.

I have to admit that I was thinking of you when I wrote that. :lol:

Sorry Jawa, you are a relic of the 20th century. Innovative wasp containment solutions don’t stop me thinking of you as Fred Flintstone’s cousin.

Yup, these people are actively paying for crap like TLC.

FreeSat, Now TV, iPlayer, All 4, Itv on Demand, My 5, in that order

I mostly watch YouTube and then blue rays or dvd,s. I have thrown most of my dvd cases and have them in wallets etc ... I live with my dad though and he pays for virgin and now TV so occasionally I will use them.
