Any one ditch cable?
Our cable bill with Comcast is astronomical. Anyone ditch cable and can school me on Roku or other streaming video options? We have a smart TV in our family room, which I have streamed Amazon Prime Instant Video on and can do netflix and hulu, but that doesn't help me out for the TV in the kids' playroom.
Is there a way to still get local channels?

Re: Any one ditch cable?
We had Netflix already. We also already had amazon prime. When we ditched we got Hulu plus. Not sure we really need Hulu but its nice to catch basic channel shows we may have missed during the week.
We are fine without it. We rarely watched anything other than basic cable anyways. We didnt have premium channels to begin with and would just watch those shows through Netflix. There is 1 show I watch on bravo (top chef) that I buy through amazon prime.
I really don't miss it. I would only watch stuff out of boredom and would usually be stupid stuff anyways. Netflix streaming has enough of that now! And anytime I really wanted to watch something I could never find anything I really wanted so it felt like a waste!
We keep debating it. We have a roku on one tv, appletv on another and chromecast on the a third. They all offer a bunch of streaming services, but we've tried out different ways of streaming content from our computer, and Roku seems to be the best at that, though we like chromecast's airplay feature best.
Between Hulu and netflix and an antenna you should be good.
I'm trying to convince DH to switch, but he's not willing to give up Disney Junior for the kids yet
I know Netflix has Jake and never land pirates. There's also an app for Disney jr that they can watch some shows. It's not a ton but it makes dd happy. She likes Sophia and Doc Mcstuffins and can at least watch some this way. You can also watch some episodes just online too.
Steve and I don't even know where the sports channels are on our cable, so that's not holding us back. 's all Disney oriented.
He's in the process of building a "media server" for the lake. It's all being shipped to my office this week. I'm afraid, very afraid of what's coming.
That said, we have the lowest level cable package that has HD channels and the DVR. No premiums.
Do you have a Wii or Playstation you can hook up to your tv in the playroom? You should be able to stream through those.
