Netflix (subscription service)
Prime Video (for Prime members and owners of Amazon programming)
Hulu (free with ads)
Movies Anywhere (purchased movie content)
HBO Now (subscription service we don't use much)
YouTube (everyone should have this one)
Beachbody on Demand (because Kim loves being hot)
Vudu (some content that's free with ads)
Disney+ (subscription service that all parents of non-adult children should have)
ESPN+ (subscription service that packages with Hulu and Disney+)
WWE Network (we really ought to cancel this)
Google Play (purchased movie content)
MLB.tv (reasonable one-time fee for all MLB baseball games that I highly recommend)
FITE (some free content but mostly PPV UFC/wrestling events)
B/R Live (for AEW content)
YouTube TV (best OTT cable service)
Toon Goggles (I honestly don't know what this is. My nephew and his wife share my account and must have it for my great-nephew. As a parent, you may have interest.)
CBS All Access (for CBS paid content)
Viki Rakuten (for Korean and Japanese TV shows with spectaclar titles like Psychopath Diary and All I Want for Love Is You)
ABC (older ABC content that's free with ads)
ATT TV Now (We only have this OTT cable service for Hallmark movies and AXS TV. I don't recommend it.)
Adam & Eve TV (one-time purchase unlocks all Adam & Eve porn content, which is over 200 movies)
CW Seed (old/original CW content that's free with ads)
Lifetime (for old episodes of My Crazy Ex/Sex and I Love You But I Lied, which are just about my favorite reality shows ever)
PornHub (there's an inexpensive subscriber version of this, but 80% of the porn is free...it's quietly one of the most popular streaming apps)
NHK World Japan (for Asian news...as a political junkie with a curious mind, you should add this one)
Attractions Magazine (the only true Roku app for theme park tourism)
NASA UHD/4K/HDR Live Footage (highly recommended for all outer space fans, although its bandwidth demands are quite extreme)
NFL Sunday Ticket (Honestly won't do you much good now since it's seasons. However, if you're on the fence about it, you could purchase the remaining month to test whether you'd want it for next season. It's probably like 100 USD.)

Just curious, how much is that a month? -- nm - Amoxy Nov 22, 10:30 14

    - Beachbody is actually $99/year. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 22, 10:49 7
      - I've never talked to anyone signed up for Beachbody who didn't absolutely love it. -- nm - Pippy -skinny mocha latte ya ya Nov 22, 11:04 3
        
        What is it? Home work outs? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 22, 11:08 2
        
        Yes. I do love it. There are a bunch of different programs for any fitness level. - Dark Callisto Nov 22, 11:12
        
        Sounds like more porn -- nm - oblique Nov 22, 11:09
      - I say you look hot, and you correct me over $1.75 a month??? -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Nov 22, 10:50 2
        
        L3 -- nm - SyrDragon Nov 22, 10:56
        
        *$1.74* per month! -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 22, 10:52
  - that last sentence is amazeballs. -- nm - Pippy -skinny mocha latte ya ya Nov 22, 10:40
Got DAZN, so covered for NFL already (and added). I'll be checking out a few of these though some aren't available (or are modified) up here. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 22, 10:26 8
- Yeah, I figured. That's why I mentioned underlying rationales. You can find equivalent stuff for anything that interests you. - David Nov 22, 10:29 6
  - It's sorta platform by platform. Handmaids airs on what used to be Canadian Bravo. Veronica Mars ended up on our HBO/Showtime/Starz platform. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 22, 10:38 5
    - Man, I bet that gets bloody to figure out. -- nm - David Nov 22, 10:42 3
      - Crave is the main competitor to Netflix up here. If it isn't Netflix it is Crave essentially (except for Amazon and Disney+). Netflix gets a lot of -- (edited) - Beaker Nov 22, 10:51 1
        
        the new Picard show will also be on our regular cable, Pennyworth is another one that was on regular cable up here. Doom Patrol is another one on Space -- nm* - Beaker Nov 22, 10:52
      - I'm fortunate in that I've become pretty HBO heavy in my tastes in the last decade so between it, sports and a handful of PVR'd network shows,... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 22, 10:47
    - Which by the by, Crave, said platform, is pretty damned worth it in my opinion. (Except not on Roku so I have to figure out a hack.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 22, 10:38
- Was just about to mention DAZN. Also, if you have a sub, NHL. -- nm - Shaun Nov 22, 10:26
