We watched the workers who wired our street, then marveled at the ability to get NY channels 9 & 11 plus Philadelphia’s PRISM TV, which allowed us to watch Philly sports teams’ home games, commercial free, plus uncut, uncensored movies.

Fast forward 36 years and I cannot wait until I am fully removed from the cable scene. The only problem is finding inexpensive internet access. Comcast really burns you if you want internet only, jacking the monthly rate up by $20-30/month.

My kids use Xbox for streaming, and I was using a blu-ray player for my TV, but I find it cumbersome to navigate so I now watch TV and movies primarily on my iPad. If there’s a news story I want to see on TV, I watch live streaming video from a website, such as Fox News Live. If my husband and son want to watch football, they go to a restaurant that plays the game on the big screen, so–instant bonding time! Cutting the cable was one of the best decisions we made last year. :) There are some drawbacks to using streaming services, especially in a busy household with many devices being used at the same time. But I haven’t missed cable TV at all.

What video streaming devices do you use? And you do you use an antenna as well? Always curios to hear specifics on what cable tv alternatives my readers are using. Cheers

I always keep my internet hooked up via ethernet cable and never experience any problems. It’s when I use WIFI that I get slow connections and other problems.

For streaming online the best thing you can do is hard-line all your devices vs. relying on WiFi. This will really help with signal issues. And when using an Antenna, just do whatever you have to, to position for optimal reception.

As for recorded TV – i actually have the opposite opinion. Who needs all the commercials. Why do I need to see live TV when i can stream just what i want, when i want. And if i need news feeds, there are tons of sites that offer that – live: http://www.killthecablebill.com/tv-channels/
