First off, you gotta figure out *how* you wanna watch. Do you wanna cut the cord completely and ditch cable? Good for you, I guess. I’m still clinging to mine like a barnacle on a rusty ship, but hey, maybe you’re smarter than me. If you’re going the streaming route, you got options. Like, a *ton* of options. Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV Stream (which, lemme tell ya, can be a confusing mouthful), fuboTV, Sling TV, YouTube TV… it’s enough to make your head spin! And Peacock? Yeah, they have *some* USA Network stuff, but it ain’t the whole shebang, ya know? Just select programming. Like, what does *that* even mean? They’re not exactly clear about it.
Honestly, I’m a bit salty about how many subscriptions you need these days. Remember when you could just… watch TV? Now it’s “subscribe to *this* for that show, subscribe to *that* for this channel!” Makes me wanna scream into a pillow.
Then there’s the USA app. Supposedly, you can watch full episodes of stuff like “Chrisley Knows Best” (God help us all), WWE Raw (okay, I’ll admit, I sometimes watch that), and “Temptation Island” (guilty pleasure, don’t judge). But here’s the catch: you gotta sign in with your TV provider. So, if you’re trying to *avoid* having a TV provider, well, that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn’t it? It’s like a cruel joke.
And don’t even get me *started* on those “7-Day Free Trials.” They’re always lurking, promising you the world for a week, and then BAM! You forget to cancel, and suddenly you’re paying for another streaming service you barely use. I’ve been burned by those things more times than I care to admit.
