I am close to cutting the cord and looking for some alternatives. I already have a ROKU TV so I can find plenty of stuff to watch. I looked at the new HULU TV offering which looks great for $40 a months. My only complaint is that I would like to have an offering without the Sports Channels included. Maybe they will have a choice like that and offer it for $20. That I could go for.
“I am close to cutting the cord and looking for some alternatives.”
My advice ... cut the cord right now. Call and cancel immediately. You’ll lolligag around and a couple of months will go by :-). You’ll find what you want/don’t want. I decided to cut the cord in 2014, but didn’t do it for months :-).
Also, Hulu is not $40/mo ... base price is far below that.
A pretty good deal is Amazon Prime. If you buy a lot of stuff from there, you’ll get free 2 day shipping. Their movie selection is decent (some of their exclusives like The Man in the High Castle are excellent) ... it’s $100/year. You can also buy stuff like HBO or Showtime for a month (you don’t have to commit to a year) if you want to catch up on any shows on those networks.
Just cut the cord first and find the stuff you want afterwards. You won’t regret it. Do not take any package deals the cable company might offer you to stay ... they’re not worth it. They don’t last very long (a year) and you’ll be right back where you started :-).
I agree with edh.
Call and cut the cord today.
I did so in 2013 and haven’t missed it once.
Not once.
