Well, while I do stream, I prefer having a product in my hand.
What if my internet isn't working cause its down? Then what? I can't stream. Not gonna waste all my data on my phone just to workout. But if I have a dvd, I can pop one in, and bang, a nice workout.

I travel a lot so streaming works well for me when I’m away. I only subscribe to a couple of sites sporadically when I travel. I still have a lot of DVDs, but don’t use them as much as I used to. I also have a lot of downloads, Jessica Smith & MR, primarily because shipping costs to Canada are often crazy expensive.

I enjoy both. But I'm mostly streaming workouts these days, GHUTV. However, when we were hit by a bad storm we were without cable/internet for 7 days so I pulled out my DVDs. I have a lot of them but have purged workouts I no longer want to do, as my workout tastes have changed. But I don't see me giving up the dvds any time soon. I'm just not buying new ones. I think that's the biggest change. If I am going to buy new workouts and they're available as a digital download I'll buy them that way.

If you tube counts as streaming, then I stream a lot There are so many excellent yoga instructors on you tube. My yoga dvds are gathering dust, but I will get back to them eventually.
I will always keep and use dvds, though. I am old school. We still have records, cds, and movies/concerts on dvds. I still read real books WAY more than reading on the kindle. I don't like paying for a streaming service month after month and not owning anything. I do use sites that allow you to buy downloads, though. I consider the dvds as part of our home's decor along with our huge collection of books, cds and albums.......to me it is not clutter. They are well used and loved items. I cringe at the thought of ever having to pack them up if we ever move, though!

Even though my household isn't set up for streaming I'm not sure I'd be all that interested in paying monthly fees.
My interests are so specific that I guess I just want to be certain that I have the workouts I will use. If that leads to a few cluttered shelves, I can cope. It's also true that I live in a part of the world where storm related service outages are not unheard of. It's true that storms like Katrina don't come along all that often, but once they do I find it helpful to have hard copies of whatever I use. Books, movies, workouts. Helps pass the time til service comes back, if nothing else.
