Buy a Roku or Wi-Fi Blu-Ray player.
I now own Netflix through my flatscreen TV (and up to what, six other devices?) and outside of my wifi, Cable and Dish can go to hell.
We cut off Directv for 1 year and installed a antenna - difficult to get reception - we got the ROKU and sign up for HULU - that was a decent program EXCEPT they don’t air CBS shows - and we missed getting daily news - we signed up for COMCAST for a year very special decent offer - and we are hoping for new alternatives and/or learn of new ideas before it ends in Sept 2014 - then we are back to bad antenna reception!! (Plus getting back on cable - we just HAD to see the season finale of BREAKING BAD - couldn’t wait for that!!
Yep. I just wished DirecTv a Merry Christmas by terminating my contract. Bought a Roku.
The bastards wanted to charge me $100/mo for BASIC service (no movie or sports channels) so we dumped 'em. I installed a $39 OTA HD Antenna, and subscribed to Netflix and Hulu instaead.
Net Savings: $84/mo. We haven't missed Satellite/Cable at all.
The only thing I subscribe to sports wise on my Roku is MLB Network so I can watch all the Chicago White Sox games. It won't be long until NHL Network and NFL Network follow suit.
