Cord-Cutting and Cable-Bill-Cutting Are All the Rage
Breitbart.com ^ | 03/26/2015 | Chriss W. Street

The Wall Street Journal recently published a strange piece called “Why Cable TV Beats the Internet, For Now.” Despite pay-TV losing 1.4 million customers last year, it seems the WSJ is device-challenged and unwilling to embrace the obvious future dominance of Internet streaming media. And the war to discount your cost for pay-TV is heating up.

Geoffrey A. Fowler of the WSJ’s Person Tech section describes himself as a “tech columnist and someone who watches enough TV to own a Snuggie.” He acknowledges that cord-cutting allows cheaper choices than pay-TV, but strangely he worries that “Internet TV means juggling gadgets.”

Well, it does make you THINK a little more. Memory banks start gaining muscle.

NOT TRUE....any live sports worldwide can be accessed and viewed on-line...ANY sport not just American sports...Anything you really want to watch can be viewed just by having broadband....if you want specific sites ...just mail me privately would be happy to share and help you save your cash....my exact outlay for Time Warner over the last 12 months was 419.88 to the penny and not one red cent was to any tax...

You could find it, but much of it is highly illegal and may be hosted on sites known to spread malware. No thanks.

If you are not into sports, Roku is the way to go. 32 bucks a month for cable internet only at my location.

Add netflix and or Hulu+ and a OTA HDTV antenna and you have plenty to watch. We added a Chromecast for $35 and we can cast any streaming chrome tab (full screen)to the TV. Anything you can stream on the computer we can watch on TV.

Thanks to for the info. I have been fooling around with PLEX and I must say that it would be far to complicated for my wife(she admits as much).

Plus the beta channels are hit and miss. One episode of a tv show works, the next one doesn't...etc.

I will be getting a Roku soon and begin testing.

I'm not giving up. Again, thanks.
