Has anybody who as cut cable found a good source of streaming news? I tend to look on free republic for news , but it would,be nice to watch streaming video, even opinion based news that is realiible. Fox News used to be good, but half of their programming or more is not reliable news , can't see paying a huge cable bill anymore for 100s of entertainment channels I never watch and news propaganda stations . What are others doing ? Hula is not news, but are there are alternatives , beside just the print meidim here on free republic ?

There’s a new conservative television channel that FReepers have been talking about for some months, but I forget the name. I would assume they have streaming.

Someone will pop along and tell you if they see this.

The best solution: 25mb internet speed. NFL replay, MLB baseball. CSPAN.

I don't know if they are available on the streaming services, but One America News Network (OANN), and Newsmax have right-leaning news outfits that would be worth checking out.

I thought they had already done this. The last time I went there it required a subscription, and that’s been some time back.

Netflix just went up on my streaming fee. Have wondered about switching to Hulu, mostly because I’ve seen practically all the movies on Netflix that I’m interested in.

Netflix has great documentaries, so I keep it going. But wonder if the paid Hulu movie selection is consistantly better than Netflix streaming? I’ve browsed Hulu but haven’t decided to switch yet.

I have RabbitTV which has live streaming channels for FoxNews, Bloomberg, and a couple others that are free. I pay ...it was $10/year but just this week it went to $24/year. It’s not the best but it also has a lot of TV (old and new), movies (old and new, some international and it has pay per view for newer stuff (movies, tv, and some sports) and shows that are normally pay tier anyway. The only real drawback is I can’t get the local channels (need to put up an antenna for where the house sits) and not a lot of regular sports stuff.

But between that and the free stuff on Amazon Prime - and of course Free Republic - I’m pretty much covered for what I need.

I thought Hulu fazed out the free-ad-based a long time ago.

Their no-ads subscription has fine print that reads ads may be attached at the beginning or end of some programs due to network contracts.

I tried the ‘free’ and found the same problems with it as with Crackle and other ad-based video services. About half-way through a program, usually after an ad break, the screen lock would lock up. The only way to proceed was to close the browser/window and reload Hulu/Crackle. Try to arrow to the last view area would cause a dozen ads to play — and the screen locking up again. It was more hassle than it was worth.

IIRC, some of Hulu programming requires one to log in through their ‘provider’ — that be cable or satellite.

Since network websites and cable On-Demand has most of the programs a day later, Hulu does not seem like much of a deal. If they offered ALL previous episodes, they might be worth it. But they only offer a few prior episodes.

Streaming services are still in the experimental stages. Netflix and Amazon Prime seem to have dependable operations.
