Exactly. My Sony HDTV/PS3 together can already do all of these things.
This reminds me. Why haven't I cancelled my cable yet?
We “cut the cord” several weeks ago and don’t particularly miss it.
We’re able to pick up quite a few channels with a cheap over-the-air antenna and the picture quality is great even if the programming is bad. But cable is similar—hundreds of channels of garbage except you get to pay for it.
For subscription services, we’re trying Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu, but we’ll be dropping Hulu soon as we haven’t used it much. And even without subscription services, between the PC and various smart TV apps, there’s a ton of content available.
The transition’s been really easy and we don’t miss cable except for a few minor things that we’ll soon come to forget. If you’re considering it, go for it. Can always re-subscribe to cable if it doesn’t suit you.
