and it's tremendously difficult, for example, to find a single streaming service that covers what I want. For example, let's say I want to watch the Packers season of football. I'm in Texas so I need something like Sunday Ticket to get many of the games. But it doesn't have all the games. Monday night and occasional Thursday nights might be on different streaming services. It gets frustrating very quickly. I think we were better off with 900 channels on cable that we paid once a month. Currently I cycle in and out with Fubo. I cancel when I'm not watching much and reactivate when there's a series of games I want to see.
