Streaming versus Broadcast TV
We've never done much streaming, except we are Prime Amazon and view some selected movies or series. No commercials. We'd like to know the benefit of streaming networks over regular TV as far as co...

We are connected to Comcast at home thru our community. We have access to all the channels, and know what is what - HBO, Stars, etc. We are trying to find out if the streaming channels pollute the entertainment with commercials as much as do the Cable Channnels. It's not about the cost as much as about the interruptions.
I'd pay extra to lose commercials if that's what streaming can accomplish. We know we can buy the HBO, etc, and lose the commercials that way and watch only their content.
We were trying to figure out if any paid streaming offerings delete the commercial breaks - especially during sports - because the breaks have overwhelmed the content and takes the entertainment out of entertainment. IF I turn on a baseball game, I want to watch the game, not the ADs.
BTW: We also have unlimited data on our hotspots. So, data is not an issue - it's the content breaks that get too annoying.
Apparently, that is not the focus of Streaming. Streaming appears to be another way to receive the same ADs and same loss of entertainment time for mostly similar content and programming. And, also offers the same PPV type programming as well.
We have Comcast and HS Internet at home, and can get anything we want (and pay for it, of course). We were hoping to test out a few Streaming versions to see if it would be different than cable - and if so, would select one or two that would come online when we travel ... but it seems 'something different' does not exist in our world today.
