Ditch Cable TV and Save a Grand a Year
The cost for Cable TV for me was 73 dollars a month.While it's not a grand for me it sure is close. I'm not just a casual TV watcher.I watch way more TV then I should but I enjoy every second of my 3 hours a day. The reason for ditching cable TV was yes to save money but for me the 876 bucks a year is well worth the entertainment I get. However there is not much on TV that you can't watch for free online. Providing you have high speed internet access that is.
I'm not talking about illegal file downloading sites or pirate sites that are filled with trojans and the like. No I am not referring to BS software products either that claim to give you 2000 plus channels of TV. Simple places like Hulu and Fancast are all ad supported video outlets that allow you to watch hundreds of TV shows and Movies at will. They normally air every TV the next day after it played live.
You have many different options that are legit for watching TV shows online and even almost every TV staion has the full and current series online on thier website. I find that in many cases watching it on the makers end is a little better because you can get it in HD. As stated you still need to ensure you have enough bandwidth. DSL will work but for most people you need to make sure you have around 6 Mbps download speeds. Look here for a list of local high speed internet providers. They break down each provider by state.
Being able to sit down and watch what I want when I want it is the best part for me.Before you cut the cable TV cord you have a few things you need to check out. The first is to ensure your computer is going to be able to take advantage of higher internet speeds. If it has under 1 Gig of ram then you will most likely need to upgrade to take advantage of higher internet speeds and to ensure your video play back is good.
You may also want to look into options for streaming the program to your TV itself using a Media center box. This is what I do and it works great for me.If you have an extra computer you can always place it there, this gives you the added benefit of being able to surf the internet on Tv or play video games online with your big screen.
I do suggest you ensure you have the latest video drivers for your computer as well. This was actually an issue I had at first.
