Cable was over $130 a month and now I spend $20 for Sling TV and approx $45 for internet service = $65
I also have Netflix $9/month and Amazon Prime $99/ a year which I got mainly for the shipping as I buy a lot thru them. I setup favorite shows to watch thru their websites so I can get right to watching.
Sling TV includes ESPN and ESPN2 channels and 3 movie channels called EPIX along with most of the cable channels you would watch. Sling https://www.sling.com See what channels you get.

I figure I am spending around $85 a month and I get more variety then cable and in the case of Amazon quick shipping and I can easily cut back unlike with the cable company.

Buy a ROKU box. It includes Disney plus many other cable channels so no need to buy Disney for an additional $5 from Sling. Download from roku.com more programming like Amazon and Netflix (need to sign up with

them) and a hundred others. You need a tv with HDMI and USB connections. The more the better. Plus a router to share the internet connection with the tv and computer.

can you come over? :)

I have a roku that I never use. I have a smart tv that I use for streaming netflix movies and not much else. I have not gotten amazon prime yet, hence the title of the thread.

I have cable and it sux. I pay $117/mo for practically nothing; no movie channels or anything. I’m getting to where I need to be, but slowly.
