Agreed ! In the beginning (golden age ?) I spend way less time on P.B and torrents.
Now with more services than ever I'm only have access to two services:
a) Netflix - (via gf account)
b) Amazon Prime (own account). The last year or two I'm back to doing a lot more torrenting !
We've never had it so good in terms of overall content, yet we have never had it as expensive to access say my "top15 Films/Shows" if they are widely spread across service providers.
PS/Sidenote: I do miss channel hopping (click-click oh what is this ?)
Similar here... though I'm more and more inclined to just torrent what I watch even if I'm paying for the services. For live-tv, I've had lots of issues with more popular feeds. For example, when the fiance watches Big Brother, it's the worst experience, I swear I've had to download almost every episode this season for her to be able to watch... it's been pretty bad.
Not to mention trying to remember what is where etc... was so much easier when I had a list of shows, I'd check the torrent site(s) about once a week for new episodes, snag them all to a seedbox and download and watch local over the following week as time permitted. At least with less TV I'm getting more done.
