We have only a hotspot ... and 5G a month (but could get more) If we want to watch a movie - order one - it will take a lot of our allowance? Is that correct? We asked this once before - but t...

OP back - Just to follow up here ...
Seems like we need to buy a lot of data to make use of any movie type service. We don't have Satellite, so were looking for an option for some nights in the CG - when just sitting around. The RED BOX works okay sometimes, but it appears not very current (And often not very close for a trip to get and a trip to return), or maybe just not many good interesting movies out there.
We were hoping to find some better quality shows in some download services - but it seems too expensive for what you get. If we get 5G for $50 (which we do) that means - based on input here - that an hour is about 1G, so that means about $10 per one hour show. Haven't seen much that's worth $10 today, or even $20 for a two-hour movie. Can go see one at the movie house for $8 if we do seniors afternoon prices. I know, it's not a convenient night in CG, but still not worth that price...
Could easily use up my entire fuel budget for the month :) :)
The digital revolution - cell, streaming, satellite, cable, sure blew up over its comparatively short life. The costs equate to much higher based on the costs of the entertainment it replaces (and it often lacks quality too) ... maybe we're too old-fashioned, but we believe an hour of work for just an hour of entertainment is not an equal value exchange.
