DirecTV.
I grew up in a very rural area and we has s*** TV. Only got 2 channels (no CBS). Had to actually PAY for that (CATV). I promised myself that when I grew up and could afford it, I would have the best TV possible.
Grew up, got cable. Cable, before there was competiton, did not care. Heavy ghosting, snow, bad picture, would not add channels people wanted, weeks to get something fixed. When DirecTV came out, got it. Among their first 300K customers. Love it. Have upgraded it every time something new comes out. Get every channel they have that isn't in a foreign language or porno. It is my treat to myself.
I get Amazon, because I have prime anyway, and other internet based stuff. I have a lot of "cord cutter" friends, and they all say the same thing. Just like people that drink blended Scotch, generic soda/pop, or so-called bourbon made outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky. "It OK" "I save 68 cents" "I don't miss it that much". No thanks. I want a remote that can give me every channel there is, in perfect picture and perfect sound.

I'm getting tired of these lame posts. What's
your opinion on this topic?
Anyway, my family has cable (Rogers), Amazon Prime, and Netflix. I don't think Hulu is even an option in Canada.
We have Amazon Prime for the shipping; the video is just a fringe benefit.
We've had DirecTV for years, but are currently trying the Playstation Vue service as a possible replacement, given that a neighbor's trees have grown to the point that we can't an adequate signal for DirectTV HD anymore.
Discs.
There's enough broadcast in NYC for me to ignore, and occasionally I look at streaming video.

I voted in the poll. I use Amazon.
We have all three: Amazon comes with my Prime membership. Hulu for a show my wife watches, and Netflix for most everything else. No cable or satellite.
All three, plus cable with STARZ and HBO. They all are different content that we want to watch and we use them all fairly equally.
YouTube!
PSvue (no Playstation needed), Netflix, Prime, and OTA.
The television mostly gathers dust. The Mrs watches news at 10.
