Cable Providers Beware of These Cable Cutting Gadgets

The way we watch television today has dramatically changed from just a few years ago. It is no longer required to be tethered to the cable cord with several different streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu that could potentially save you thousands in the long run. Cable bills generally come in at a staggering two hundred dollars per month, but most streaming services have memberships as low as six dollars per month. Several new streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Fire TV, and Sling TV there are no longer a need for these pricey conglomerates.

There are several things you may need after you give the boot to your cable box and hardware devices you currently use to watch cable. For example, you will need an antenna, a streaming device like a smart TV, streaming stick or laptop type device and of course a streaming service.

Winegard’s Flatwave Antenna

Very similar performance wise to the Mohu Leaf, the Flatwave antenna costs a mere ten dollars and is powerful enough to reach broadcast singles thirty miles away. Sense you are dropping your cable provider saving, even more money, (Leaf priced at $70) only makes sense, and the size is small and can be mounted just about anywhere with its fifteen foot coax cable.

Streaming Devices 

If you have a new smart TV, you are set to go because most of them come standard with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu already installed. If not grab inexpensive streaming sticks like Roku Ultra or a 4K player like Fire TV and Chromecast Ultra. If you’re a gamer, the PS4 and Xbox one have these streaming apps integrated in them already.

Streaming Services

There are the common streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu to choose from but there are some others to consider today as well. If you desire a more authentic cable viewing experience then DirecTV Now, Sling TV and PlayStation Vue will deliver. However, these replacements for your cable will cost you far more than the more common streaming services.

Premium Channels

If you have not cut the cable cord yet due to losing your sports and premium channels like ESPN and HBO, we’ll wait no more, these highly sought after networks are cutting out the middle man. Every major network for sports, MLB, NFL and NBA, all have streaming services available, and you can now get HBO Live, Starz and Showtime streaming as well for a much lower price tag.

Cut yourself loose from the behemoth cable monopolies and start streaming your way to leaving your hard earned cash in your wallet. Stop paying astronomical costs for watching TV and stream your way into the future.
