Alternative to cable
What have you done to get rid of cable?
Currently have charter, get tired of flipping through way to many channels, with nothing decent to watch. Then looking at the bill, and crying.
I've just started research on this, are the hulu, roku, Google, etc what their cracked up to be? What are the actual costs? Initially and monthly.
Do you have to buy a separate device, and subscription for each tv?
Some required channels: Disney, hallmark, lifetime, fx, sports channels.
Wondering what the cost difference will actually be.

If I could get fast internet I'd get rid of my TV service, jut that's not an option. Most of those services can be fed to your TV by connection a network cable to it or wirelessly sent by one of the devices.
Figure out what you watch, then start looking at services. When I travel for work, I watch noth but Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

I have fast internet without the TV service, by my choice. Never have, so really don't know what I'm missing. My amplified antenna works just fine for the little time I watch television. Have better things to do then concern myself what Kim Kardashian is doing let alone watching someone who wants to kill bigfoot.

If you got internet...........I bought a thing called apple TV. It was a one time buy for around $75. Also I pay for netflix live streaming which is $10 and some change a month. I have been doing this for several years and I have yet to run out of things to watch. I took what I spent on satelite and cable and thats how I got to get my big shiney boat!!! I was paying upwards of $180/month just to get the outdoor channel. lol. My boat payment is less than $200/month. And I will ONE day OWN my boat! I never watched tv anyways really. Moral of my story is....THERE IS NO EQUITY IN SATELITE.......BUT THERE IN A BOAT! When I told my wife my plan, she JUMPED on board!!!!!

Thank you, I'll look into it. Currently have phone, Internet, cable through charter. We moved two years ago, since we moved they labeled us a new customer, and the bundle was cheaper. Go figure. Had charter for tv and Internet before we moved.
Our two years will be up in a couple months, thus the rates are going up. My wife called charter for current incentive for us to stay, they did drop the price a little from what it's supposed to go up to. Which surprised me, they don't seem to care about keeping current customers, just getting new ones.
Will be dropping home phone, we never use it anyway. Plus its a VoIP line, so if powers out, phones out.
