Get rid of cable - cordcutters 2013 strategy guide

Do not get apple TV.

I worked for a DJ company that specialized in weddings. My old boss had me mount a flat screen on the wall of the waiting room and connect an apple TV to it. The idea was to get it to stream videos of the past weddings we had played for.

I brought my macbook with me to test out the system and all of a sudden I see Pinky pounding some random bitch with a strap on. Yes, it was playing my porn. I don't know how that happened. I had forgotten that movie was even still on my hard drive.

Thankfully it was hours and nobody else was there to see it, but it occurred to me what if that happened to someone else? Some poor wife to be is designing her invitations waiting for an appointment and bam! The room fills up with the sights and sounds of Wesley Pipes.

Needless to say, I convinced him to return the apple TV and get a roku with a USB stick.

Ish just got real!

NFL Sunday Ticket coming to iOS, Mac for 2014 season with no satellite subscription needed

By Sam Oliver
Satellite television provider DirecTV looks set to offer a standalone subscription to its popular NFL Sunday Ticket package for the first time, meaning cord-cutting football fans can follow the action this fall on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac without mounting a dish to their roof.


No official announcement has been made, but a promotional page for the new offering has appeared at NFLSundayTicket.tv. The company says viewing will be limited to out-of-market games when it begins on Sept. 7, but the popular Red Zone channel is included. AppleInsider was first tipped to the page by reader Sean.

"Now you can access live, out-of-market NFL games without a DIRECTV satellite TV account—no matter what team you follow," the site reads. "NFLSUNDAYTICKET.TV lets you stream games on your computer, tablet, phone, or game console. All while keeping up with real-time player stats and your fantasy teams."

A $199.99 subscription will grant access via Sunday Ticket apps on mobile devices and personal computers, while access on gaming consoles will require a $239.99 subscription. The most expensive tier, at $329.99, combines the two and adds access to Red Zone and the new Fantasy Zone channel.

I was about to post the same thing. The last time I paid a cable bill for TV it was $190. Now it's around $70 for one of the upper tier high speed internet.

I have a deal with Clear 4g internet for 25 dollars a month. In my area it's fast enough to watch Netflix, hulu plus, play games and anything else I do online without lag. My son is usually the only other person using the connection so not sure how it'll do with a bunch of people using it. I was paying 180 for some basic shit(started at 45 and kept creeping up) and a HDDVR box. Now I pay about 40 for internet and the video services. Now when I move I'm going to have to make a decision.I know the area doesn't have clear 4g coverage. It's going to suck.

For those interested, the link below is to a calculator that will tell you with absolute certainty whether or not cutting the cord and subscribing to various internet TV services will save you money, at their current rates. If I can convince myself to pull the trigger, I'd save over $1200 a year.

Got my cable bill of $160 Thursday got my roku Friday. Got my Netflix account linked added Hulu plus to complement it. Now I just need my sports I'm thinking about just saying fuck it and paying $69 for the NBA package. I'm done paying damn near $200 a month for shit I hardly use.

Ok my Sling tv invite finally came through today. They gave me a free 7 day trial to start. I opted into the basic tv and all the sports channels for 24.99 a month. The streaming is flawless and it works great on my Roku 3. Now to convince my wife to drop our cable and she can still watch all her shows.

I'm curious about how sling TV works...are you saying you legally get local channels and sports channels for $25/mo w/o cable? also what specific spots channels are you getting? thanks

*edit*

idk why the fuck I'm acting brand new...my bad...I forgot about this...I have an XB1 so I can sign up for a free month trial before I commit...when you say basic TV are you referring to local channels? I don't remember sling TV offering local channels

If you have an android device, drop hulu and install Showbox.They have a tv show selection as well. New stuff. Shows are added the next day after they air, and they have whole series. Not sure if you can play it thru Roku, if you can't, just get a chromecast.

Yeah, I got shit like HGTV, Food Network, all the ESPN channels, Univision, Universal sports, Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT and even more. I mean they give you the basic channels you get with cable minus shit like HBO, and Showtime. This is gonna be great for college football.

Do you get local sports channels for the NBA and NFL or do they get blacked out

I don't know. I don't see the local sports channels, just all the various ESPN channels. This is a good start for future cord cutting. The ESPN channels look to be in HD, and look near as good as my cable box.

the cable channels are offered in different packages, with no regard to where you're located. So catching the NFL on fox, for example, is not included.
