Those with no cable...
Dh and I are looking to nix our cable. We currently bundle our phone, internet and cable. With just cutting cable out, our bill will be cut in half. We have a Roku, Netflix and just got Hulu. We are in need of antenna recommendations. Any suggestions?
Re: Those with no cable...
We have Apple TV and Amazon Prime. We can rent movies through either of those. Everything else we want to watch we can pretty much find online, just takes a little work to find sometimes. Example--any of my favorite shows on major networks I can watch from their website, just have to wait until the day after they air.
If you get an HDMI cable, you can hook up a device to your TV (as long as it has an HDMI outlet) and watch just like it was on TV. H does this all the time with TV shows from his Kindle Fire.
On Amazon, if you go to Instant Video, you can sort it by Prime so you see what is free with Prime. They have a lot of content free for Prime members-especially TV series. I'll admit, there aren't a lot of new movies available; in this case, we will either rent from Amazon or iTunes.
I'm not sure on antenna for the local channels; hopefully somebody else will have a suggestion in that regard. I would probably go to the PBS website and see what content is available there. Not sure about weather, local news, etc. In this case, I have a subscription to our local newspaper online and I also check out our local radio station websites frequently.
Hopefully some of these suggestions help, or I'm sure there are other people here that have some other solutions. I love not paying for TV any more!
Netflix has a bunch of PBS shows- I've seen Daniel Tiger, Curious George, Super Why, and I think Dinosaur Train as well. I'm sure there are others, but when my girls do get to watch TV, they just want Daniel Tiger. I believe there's an individual plan (only once device streaming) for $6.99/month. Ours is $7.99/month so my parents use our account too (2 devices allowed at once). We stream it through our Nintendo Wii. We also have a super cheap cable plan- it's only 23 channels for $12/month- gives us all of the local programming, plus TBS, TNT, and ESPN (for DH). Not sure if your cable company offers that- ours is through Time Warner.
Beyond that, PP have your internet streaming options covered!
