TV without paying for cable

[2.ooohhh]

After doing a bit more research, it doesn't appear the savings are going to be worth the hassle. I'm going to look a little more, but changing for $20 or $30 a month probably isn't worth it.

It really depends on what you watch and how much of it you have time to watch. If you buy an aTV or roku to try it for yourself for a month you can generally resell it for little if any loss.

My biggest issue is lack of patience. I watch almost no TV, but on the rare occasion something comes on that I do want to watch, I don't want to have to wait days or weeks to watch it.

Well that is a change of mindset, there is nothing just "on" with TV via the internet, you have ot initiate the activity by picking a show to watch from a provider. If I sit down on the couch and can't think of something I want to watch inside 2 minutes, then I should probably be doing something more important with my time.  :2cents:

Basic cable and redbox is all you need.

I use basic cable for tv and rebox for movies. I only rent blu rays to watch in my new theater room with a 162" screen. :)

We use hulu a lot for tv and netflix sometimes. On my xbox 360 we watch all of those plus a lot on youtube. We have a roku in our bedroom to watch hulu and Netflix. We rent from redbox a lot but only for free

Redbox just never make sense to me. The closest one to me is 7 miles away so by the time I drive there and back twice,(once to rent and once to return) I've generally spent what an online rental costs in gas and eaten up a half hour of my time doing it.  :down:

We have a dozen redboxes near us. My wife just picks them up when shes out for other things.

They are much cheaper than the old hollywood videos and blockbusters. And they get movies months before netflix.

For everyone expecting a "back in my day" post, here it is.

 

Back in my day, the only television programing you could get was free.

Most programs can be found on the internet if you can wait. If not it is cable or dish.
