How many here, have cut the cord with tv and gone to streaming?
Wife did almost 3 yrs ago.. streaming costs have gone up substantially especially with livetv package..
Wife is considering going back to cable TV.. I say leave it alone cause we'll have to pay box rental fees.. For me I don't care much for cable, if I want to watch something I find a show on tubi or Plutotv.. I do enjoy having the fox stock channel however I can use the web or yahoo app on the firestick to follow stocks.
Cut the cord to pay TV before most people even knew what it meant 10 years or more ago.
and ...
We just cut the cord to the internet and most people reading this have no idea how or what the heck I am talking about (read on)
Attic antenna distributes all major network stations and their side channels to the 5 or 6 TVs in our home with better quality then any pay TV company can. All together 30 channels through our antenna. On our main TV we have a DVR just like a cable company gives you with a program schedule, records and schedules exactly like ANY pay TV providers box does.
Then with NetFlex, Hulu and Apple TV (in a trial right now but would be $6 more if we keep it) for less then $20 a month streaming through 5 or 6 Roku players in our home gives us way more TV and better programming then we can watch in a lifetime.
On top of that our daughter shares her Amazon Prime password with us for Prime TV and we share our Netflex password with her.
With that said, we all spend money on stuff that is worth it to us. For my wife and I, paying for TV isnt worth it, for others it is. That goes for anything in life, there is no right or wrong. My wife and I are ALWAYS at the cutting edge of technology and we love it. Its why we now have something that I know no one in this forum has yet, but in a couple years many will.
We just cut the pay cable internet service, No more landline internet service which will most likely go the way most landline phones have gone!>
We now have TMobile Home Internet Service through our local cell phone tower. Our Spectrum/Charter service cost 50% more then TMobile @$50 a month actual payment and T mobile speeds are way faster.
I have a complete thread on it in the electronics section of BITOG.
My wife and I watch one or two quality streaming shows or movies in the evening and that's it, plus sometimes just turn on the TV and see what's on locally.
