Streaming channels?

Good explanation, C'est Moi. In other words, the streaming itself is free. If you don't like watching TV shows on your computer, pad, or phone, you can buy an inexpensive Roku stick to plug into your TV, which brings in the signal. It's a one-time expense of about $40. There are free channels that stream shows, but as C'est Moi said, most of the really good movies and series are on the premium channels. But they aren't a lot, usually about $10 or $15 a month. I think it's worth it. The programming is MUCH better than what's on network TV. And no commercials.

Spot on...We have HuLu channel for $11.99 a month no commercials, all paid for with gift cards from our kids!!! Also Prime and Netflix (grandson pays for NF)

We like Hulu so we can watch HGTV programs ..
 
Between Prime, Netflix, and (on cable) HBO, I have more excellent TV programming than I have time to watch. Last night I started a new, for me, series on HBO, John Adams. I'm not that much of a history buff, but this dramatization is excellent. It's so realistic that I had to keep reminding myself that these were actors I was watching. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. (Following the Boston Tea Party, John was just appointed to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, and left Boston by stagecoach to go there. John is played by Paul Giametti, and Abigail is played by Laura Linney, both terrific as usual.)

I don't understand streaming or the techniques involved.

So I haven't tried it yet.

I'm not sure if it's free or you have to pay for it.

If it's not free, I'm not interested.

You just said it for me as well. I don't understand it and probably can't afford it anyhow. My wife and I were basically living on SS and my pension, I lost her SS when I lost her. I am very limited now financially.

I get HGTV with my cable subscription. Also my cable box has a PVR so I can record series. Right now I am recording Island of Bryan.

I'm in the same boat. In Canada if your spouse is getting Social Security and dies they do have what is called Survivors benefits.

However, the amount I got wasn't even close to her pension.
