America Fights Back: Record Number of Patriotic Cord-Cutters Tumble TV Stocks
Big Hollywood (Breitbart) ^ | October 13, 2017 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/13/2017 9:02:40 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

There is only one way — one! — to finally and forever destroy Hollywood and much of the mainstream media. You have to cut your cable or satellite cord. You have to cancel your pay TV package. The one-legged stool propping up ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, Disney, MTV, and the entire Tinseltown crime syndicate is you paying for cable TV.

If you want to know how this scam works, read all about it here.

If you want to know what do to after you cut the cord for America, read all about it here.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there is no single act any American can perform that will do more damage to the institutional left than to cut your cable/satellite cord. So please do so today. If that sounds like hyperbole, look at the recent news, look at what cord-cutting is already doing to Hollywood:

You can have MORE content outside of cable for far less.

Netflix: $8/month
Hulu: $7/month
KlowdTV: $7/month.
Amazon Prime: Free with Amazon Prime membership.

There are many, many other providers for $3/-$10 month. Depending on what you like to watch determines which providers you choose.

Get an Amazon FireTV (has wired network cable and wireless)or FireStick (has only wireless network), or a Ruku device. (Prefer Amazon). They plug into an HDMI port on your TV.

All you then pay for is an Internet connection, and you only need a basic connection to make these devices work.

Cut cable, cut your costs and their liberal profits!

“If you cut cable, how are you getting internet service?”

Cutting cable means cutting the TV service, but keeping the Internet service.

It is a massive hit to the cable companies and to the liberal content providers to cable.

” DiscoveryID channel and college football”

Both available off of cable, AND you get far more since both of those provide more channels outside of cable.

The one thing cable providers do is negotiate content and rates. This means many, many production studios are cut out of the cable programming.

So, those production studios go outside of cable to get their shows broadcasted. Amazon, Netflix, and many other providers have original content, meaning they pay for and get shows made just for them.

Instead of “channels” on cable, you work with providers, and there are hundreds of them. You click on a provider and the providers shows you what shows they have. You click on a show and watch it. Nothing is being broadcast at any given time, you choose when to watch it.

Those providers work with the production studios to get content, all that content cable refuses to provide to you.

Cable has maybe 1% of all content. No kidding. There is that much off cable.

Even CBS, ABC, and NBC provide their content off of cable. Want to watch one of the popular prime time shows, no problem. Just wait until the next day. Each network provides their content the next day, and with less commercials.

You simply do not need cable for anything.

You’ll get used to it.

I’ve never wanted cable because MOST PROGRAMS SUCK. You too will enjoy your life without Culture Rot being poured into your brain.

I have 3 PBS channels on my local free tv for Downton Abbey-ish shows, nature programs, and great cooking. NBCCBSFOX carry the sporting events I don’t watch anyway, plus the big important golf tournaments that I do...at least the last two days of each tourney.

Local weather is great.

So what am I missing? Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zilch. If I want to watch a good series like Breaking Bad and Homeland, I rent it from the library. FREE

You and others say that, but no one has proven to me the channels in question (Discovery, ID, History, Travel, Destination America, Science) can be acquired individually outside of a service. Hulu, Amazon Prime, Sling, Netflix, etc. all fail in that respect.

Of course, the solution for some here is to insult those who wish to watch a few shows on those channels.

Discovery ID channel ...

How? Don't say "Discovery ID app". That only works in conjunction with having the Discovery ID channel available through a service. It really doesn't get you the channel for free. Many channels are like that.

How about a link for say “Homicide Hunter” on Investigation Discovery channel? Their site indicates you need to sign in with your TV service provider in order to watch any of those episodes.

Beats me. Figure it out. I don’t have any magic knowledge. I, too, just figure it out.

I found Homicide Hunter on Hulu

https://www.hulu.com/homicide-hunter

And on Amazon, pay per episode or pay per season
https://www.amazon.com/Homicide-Hunter-Lt-Kenda-Season/dp/B009KZZEBQ

Also on Amazon you can also buy a subscription to “True Crime Files by ID”, 7 day free trial, then $3.99/month.

I searched for the “Vikings” from History channel. It is included in Amazon Prime.
https://www.amazon.com/Rites-of-Passage/dp/B00BLCHYKU/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1508013216&sr=1-1&keywords=vikings

If you don’t have Amazon Prime, I am going to assume you can purchase individual shows or seasons.

“Vikings” are also on Hulu.

I don’t have the exact answer you are looking for. I don’t know if you can purchase those channels outside of cable TV. You can, however, purchase individual shows online. Also, you can subscribe to streaming services that may carry the individual shows you wish to watch.

If you have some more specific show names, I don’t mind searching for you to see if the shows are available online.

I currently have Amazon Prime and Netflix, and I watch You Tube
for documentaries and cooking videos. I have a “skinny”, low cost cable tier now, and am planning to buy an antenna so I can pick up local channels. I will then get rid of cable TV altogether, keeping only cable internet.

I am quite content with the streaming options I have. I primarily watch history and documentaries, and there are plenty available on the streaming services I have.

There was ONE cable TV show I wanted and couldn’t access, so I purchased the season for that particular show from Amazon. Apple iTunes also sells individual TV shows.

I am not familiar with Roku or Hulu, so I can’t answer any detailed questions on those services.

Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. An excellent review of mycotoxins can be found here: CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY REVIEWS, July 2003, p. 497–516 Vol. 16, No. 3 0893-8512/03/$08.00_0 DOI: 10.1128/CMR.16.3.497–516.2003 Mycotoxins J. W.

exactly...

now you may be able to use a friends log in info.. but discovery and it’s affiliate channels are the hardest channels to get outside of cable.

Fortunately, I live in a hilly area which I’m near the peak. I get all the major networks plus PBS and METV. Better quality than cable. Back when I was watching football, I would be able to get 2 different games on the same network because of the location of the town. Ah the good ole days, don’t really miss it.

Good to know; I think I would adapt pretty quickly.
