Hubby and I met on-line playing a game, we are going to continue to have our techy toys!
But fundamentally I am cheap/frugal, whatever you want to call me. We currently have 3 rooms with TVs with cable, I'm thinking of cutting out one because it's just not getting enough use for me. In my sewing room I have a tv with the digital antenna, it gives me the local network channels plus several others, enough to keep me company, but I live in a major metropolitan area (Seattle).
We do have Amazon Prime and Netflix old-school disk rental. We are going to be moving a cable to the far end of the house so we can hook up the big tv and use those as well as the cable we already have.
Mostly though I listen to audio books since I have vision issues. Amazon owns Audible and you can get a book a month as part of prime, but I get all my downloads for free from our public library system. Typically I go through 2-3 books a week so prime isn't so good for me, but our library is!
Again, it helps that I am in a major techy area, but many libraries have free access to downloads of both audible and ebooks.
