Anyone get rid of cable?
This has been a discussion in our house lately. If it were up to Tim it would have been done years ago, but I'm obsessed with my tv and Logan loves Disney Jr. My friend has a Roku and Hulu Plus and loves it. We were talking about sharing our Netflix with her in exchange for the Hulu Plus. It's just so much more cost effective In the long run!
I guess I just still feel really clueless about this. Has anyone done this? Any product or service you'd recommend?

We have hulu plus, amazon prime (had that anyway) and Netflix streaming and DVD (had already). With all that I feel we have every thing covered. Plus we have the basic channels (NBC cbs abc). We have 2 rokus and can use dh's gaming system so our main tvs are hooked up.
I don't miss anything but we didn't have full cable (show time HBO) anyways. We always had to wait for new seasons of shows from there.
I feel like I watch more tv now actually because I've been searching for things to watch and get hooked!
If you have a specific question let me know
We saved quite a bit each month because our cable kept increasing. But our internet has been creeping up so that's been cutting into that. But I imagine our cable would be too still.
You do have to look at what you get through cable because package deals could make it less favorable to just go down to internet.
I have thought about this too, but then when people start talking about hulu, chrome, or whatever else is involved, my brain shuts down because I am confused. Mostly I just want to know if I'd still be able to watch Real Housewives, Gray's, etc. whenever I want to and not have to wait for it to be on some website to stream or whatever. I don't even really know what streaming means (is it a fancy word for watch?), so that is how clueless I am about this.
Also, if there is any remote chance of it interfering with sports, then I would fear for my marriage, lol!

Oh, hell no.

If you got rid of everything you could watch most shows from basic networks on hulu plus. But you do have to wait a day. Honestly that doesn't bother me. There are plenty of times I am busy or fall asleep and miss an episode of Grey's, etc and just catch it the next day on hulu. And if you start doing it that way it won't feel any different. Like if you always watch greys on Friday you are only waiting a week each time.
Streaming is basically getting it through the internet while you watch. You aren't downloading it first and then watching. You stream from the internet while you watch. If you have an internet issue while watching, it would be interrupted.
As for sports that could be an issue depending on what he watches. If it's local stuff and you keep basic channels then it would be ok. But if he loves espn that could be an issue. Back when dh watched a lot of sports it would have been a problem. But since we had dd he rarely watched anything

Hulu plus is 7.99/month which was the only additional cost for us.
If you don't have a gaming system or other player already to use, you can get a basic roku for $50 (onetime cost). Depends on how many tvs you have and want hooked up to how many rokus you might need. We have 2 but really only needed 1. We have gaming systems hooked up to other tvs that use it. Also our blu ray players can do netflix streaming on a couple of our tvs (wouldn't be able to do hulu or amazon prime).
As for how much you save on your cable bill...you'd have to call your own to see. Totally will vary. I'm im a different state with different provider so wouldn't be comparable. Let me see if I can ask dh though how much we saved.
