Anything where you are forced to pay for a bunch of channels, especially ones that have additional forced fees.  And you can't opt out of them.

I have a large "data server" and use Kodi via several Nvidia Shields that are connected to each TV in the house.  I really like collecting the old classic shows and am refreshing my collection to 1080p where available.
