The time it takes to set up a streaming service is approximately 10 minutes. Changing streaming services, if you feel the need to do so, 20 minutes. Hardly a hassle and no one has to come into my house...or charge me rent to use a box. You also don’t have to call to cancel and return equipment etc. A hassle would be TV contracts or the massive price hikes cable customers see...that most then call, threaten, and complain over multiple phone calls to get reduced.

I’m not sure what I would value the ability to watch the Brewers at...but I know it isn’t an extra $1,000+ a year.

Everyone has their things they spend money on and don’t feel the need to find ways to save on. I have seen people cling to cable over way dumber things than the Brewers/Bucks. I know someone that has it because no streaming service will let them have the History channel and another specific channel they like. $1,000 seems like a hefty price to make sure you can watch Pawn Stars, but hey...not my money.

Of course I am the kind of person that will switch around my bank account every 6-12 months to get $500 account opening bonuses. I know many won’t go through that kind of effort.
