we use only Roku now

Plenty of free programming, pay stuff too but we dont

Link it to the hotspot ($10 per device/mnth added 10GB) on your cellphone and you dont even need an additional internet connection, unless you want that.

Gone, a $100+ mnth comcast bill

Screen Rant Pitch Meetings rip the lousy movies apart and I love watching them do it.

I would have cut the cord years ago if it weren't for my wife. As it is, our TV service no longer qualifies for a promo and it is outrageously expensive. She's finally ready to bite the bullet, but I also realize I will get to play "customer service" when it happens. Not looking forward to it.

Thinking about Sling Blue to start. No Disney or ESPN. No local channels, but no $10+/mo re-broadcast fees. An indoor from our location can get the major networks, if we need them (no DVR though).

Streaming won't offset cable costs because Streaming is losing money.

Paramount alone lost $1.8 billion in 2022:

Vudu is an option. You buy or rent shows a la carte. We watch several shows on Freevee (formerly IMDB) and Tubi. Both are free.

I have thought for a long time that someone ought to offer a package based only on the channels the subscriber wants.

It’s not just the studios either.

The NFL has tried to coordinate with Amazon Prime to increase
their viewership.

Hopefully that has fallen flat too.

Never watched TV much for decades, do not miss it now.

Wife has one of theose Roku things and gets some of the few things she used to watch on cable.

It seems the few she cares about can be paid for independently, so she is not subsidizing the liberal garbage to watch them..

#10: We watch several shows on Freevee (formerly IMDB) and Tubi. Both are free.

Same here. There is plenty to watch on those services. No need to pay for special channels at all. Also Newsmax is free, not bad for the price. Other free services include Plex, Crackle, and Pluto. I rarely watch those because Freevee and Tubi usually have more than enough to keep my attention.

repent for all the gag me force fed queer crap... and flush that content like the dirty turd collection it is...

and return to hetero sex based plots with bad guys getting snuffed for being bad, aka “woketards”...

Make christmas movies about the life, principle, teachings and history of Christ, his followers and the goodness of God almighty... aka john wayne type of true grit stories, sci fi and all that...

and some of us might, that is MIGHT reconnect... but get rid of the homo crap...

If only ESPN, this tells you what’s cheapest:

Roku is great, and I know someone who uses their cellphone for all Roku access on their TV.

One month she used over 100 GB.
