I am in the process of getting ready to cut the cord with the money grubbing DIRECTV bastids. They charge you for anything and everything they should be supplying for free.
I essentially get basic cable with two DVRs and HD and it costs $100/month.
I recently got an Amazon Fire setup (I’m prime already) and a Starz subscription (I had Apple TV - it sucks). Thinking about Showtime and Hulu to add to Fire. Almost ready to take the No-DVR addiction plunge.
If, I do that I’ll double my monthly donation to FR and still save money.
Thanks to sites like Viki.com, for a few bucks a month I get access to KDramas, which I’ve gotten hooked on in the last year. Frankly it’s all I need. I spend an hour a night watching my latest series, and that’s it.
I am cutting my cord in September.. locked into a contract with cable at the moment I tried to cut cable last year but the choices were just not all I wanted. I think that I will do it this year between Netflix, amazon, hulu, sling TV and surface channels I can get all my entertainment for about 40 dollars where at this point I am paying about 80 dollars the only thing I want and cant get is the news channels. I am a news junky and love to watch all three of the news groups fox/cnn/msnbc...
Netflix is superior to Hulu
but I want to get rid of our cable if possible...we pay over $210 a month for internet, phone, and cable....too much when we don't watch very many shows on tv....what we do watch are reruns...
