YouTube and will be looking to add IPTV for F1 / MotoGP etc once the seasons start oh and once i get Fibre
 
Youtube is most most watched service (and I pay for Youtube Premium).
Netflix.
Prime Video (activate every time something good to watch, like Expanse, Jack Ryan, etc).
 
Netflix, Prime Video and I subscribe to Youtube Red.

I have used Showmax before and will sub at some point again. I have also used Hulu and BBC iPlayer with a DNS service but don't currently see the point in jumping over hoops.

If you used a dns service previously to watch BBC then you already jumped though the hoop, you don't need to do it again. The only reminder I have that I actually have a smart dns service is the monthly payment.

The hassle is getting these smart devices to use the DNS selectively. With the wife and kids I wan't this stuff to just work.

I have a sub to NordVPN but will need to see how I can get the chromecast talking to it.
 
Netflix, YouTube and MSTV, oh, and I can still get the analog SA TV channels if I REALLY wanted to.
 
Showmax, DSTVnow, 7Plus, Tenplay, SBS, Directv, Hulu+, TVNZ, BBC iPlayer
 
Netflix and Showmax. I'd leave Shomax any day if it wasn't for my mother wanting to watch Boer Soek 'n Vrou.
 
Netflix & YouTube; Those 2 combined has far more than I will ever need to watch.
My last "air" TV broke in 1995. Did not miss TV and never replaced it; skipped the dish era completely...
Only bought a TV again about 2 years ago when flat screen smart TVs were well established in the market . Went straight to Netflix.

Funny, after having been on netflix for a while (i was kind of alternating between the two) and now having both we are watching more on showmax than netflix. Showmax had His Dark Materials, and Netflix just canned Grimm which I was into so now we are catching up on showmax mostly with stuff like the Orville, Modern family, Line of duty etc. Showmax actually has a decent lineup.

Yeah, Showmax isn't bad at all I must say. They do have good stuff. It just happens that I have more shows I watch on Netflix. But I do cheat a tiny bit as I use torrents for some of my series and movies.

I am apologetically doing the same as I have seen the USA netflix lineup and it has a lot of the stuff I want to watch that is not on the SA version, and yet Netflix charges us a similar amount. At that point I feel nothing about getting it on the side.
 
Netflix, Showmax, Youtube Premium (5 series I follow) and a torrent streaming service for everything else.
