It easier than ever to drop that expensive cable TV subscription.
Enough options here to turn you on? The selections have grown considerably, but are still manageable.
You’ll have to determine for yourself whether you can save much money each month, but the odds are favorable, and…
You can cover all your viewing desires without 973 extra channels.
1- Pick a Tuner
The tuner best options (in my humble opinion) come down to:
Apple TV $149 apple.com
Improved catelog, voice control searching and swipe controls
Roku 4 $130, roku.com
Known for speed and great 4k streaming, voice control
Amazon Fire TV Stick $40 amazon.com
Plugs directly into HDMI port (again, in my humble opinion – get a console, not a stick – benefit is small size and less cables, trade-off is speed)
My long-time favorite is Roku.
2-Choose a Streamer (or two?)
Netflix $8/mo, netflix.com
Great content, around 7,000 titles, 4k streaming
iTunes $6/movie, $3/episode, iTunes.com
Over 80,000 movies & TV, pay for what you watch
Amazon Prime $99/year, amazon.com
19,000 movies & TV
Hulu $8/mo, hulu.com
More limited, but great for timely viewing
3-Options
Don’t have enough, or willing to spend a few more dollars per month?
Sling TV $20/mo, sling.com
23 channels (ESPN, AMC, CNN)
Upgraded bring more (no networks yet)
HBO Now
Stand alone channel with great new shows and a classic library
Sling is a welcome recent newbie offering sport fans an option to cut the cord.
My picks are hands down the Roku 4 Streaming Media Player (4400R) 4K UHD, Netflix & Sling. Possibly drop in Hulu to appease others in the house.
HD antenas are another great addition to pickup local channels, with the bonus of improved quality over cable. I built mine in an afternoon. Believe it!
