Tips for Cable TV Cord Cutters

When it comes to cable TV, how many of the channels are you actually watching? This has been a problem since cable TV first came out and people realized after the first month that they were always hitting the same numbers in their remote control, but paying for all the rest. Thankfully, the Internet has made it possible for you to get the shows you want, without the heavy price tag. Document What You Watch Start off by writing down the channels and shows you and your family regularly watch. You might even monitor the time you spend watching them. Divide your monthly cost by the hours watched to see what it costs you per hour to see those shows. Is it worth it? Start Streaming The Internet offers a variety of ways to stream the shows you want, without the high price tag. You can still use your remote control, though you may need to add devices. Start looking up your shows to see what apps you need to stream them, and, in many cases, you can stream them all through one app. Get More Use Out of Systems There are different boxes you can buy to stream television, but you may not need them. If you have a gaming system, you may be able to stream directly from it. You can also use your phone, tablet, computer, or Smart TV to stream movies and television shows. Be sure to look up what apps are compatible with what you already have so you don't have to make an extra purchase. You can still get the entertainment you want without the hassle of dealing with cable companies. In fact, you may be able to watch even more than you could with the cable programs that limit your access.
