We did this back in February. Best move we ever made.
P.S. You can get Fox News clips on their ROKU channel.
Like getting free money for driving a stake into the heart of the Devil.
I posted this back in Dec of 2013.
Get your news exclusively from the Internet.
None of my money has gone to Ted and Hanoi Jane, Chrissy Matthews or John Stewart for 3 years and it feels great! The only thing I miss is certain sports programming.
My wife has streaming live Fox News on every day. Pirated in some fashion, and low quality video, but it’s there.
Welcome to the party.
The future of video changed when Hollywood tried to rig the system.
Harry Reid did it
I do Netflix and Amazon Prime.
No real fix for Fox News but it won’t be too long before they change.
I haven’t had television at all since March of 1995.
Try reading instead. After a few months you won’t miss television at all, and after a couple of years the pause between delivering lines on a sitcom will nauseate you.
You're doing all the right stuff. Although, Netflix may be better than Hulu. Doesn't Hulu have commercials? Also, just get an HD antenna for local broadcasts.
Most bundles come with TV, landline phone and internet. And that’s expensive. You can get internet alone for about 50 bucks a month, depending on what part of the country you live in. Taxes and regulations are expensive in the North, and cheap in the South.
And if you’re online you can get live broadcasts from Fox News and hundreds of other news outlets from around the world. And you can watch TV shows and movies for “free”, if you’re into that. Even old stuff from the last century.
My favorites are those old “Tales From The Crypt” episodes that ran on HBO in the 1990’s. They are obscene and hilariously gruesome.
We’re dumping ours too in December, after our contract expires.
Try going to http://www.hulkusaa.com/watch-fox-news-live-streaming/
Just hook up your laptop through an HDMI or older style monitor cable. Almost all flat screens have at least one or the other and get pretty high quality streaming of FOX NEWS 24/7.
ENJOY!
If you don’t like Netflix, I highly recommend Amazon Prime with their streaming service. Lots of great free movies and very low rental for newer movies. Plus, if you buy stuff online, a lot of what they ship has two-day service.
For VoIP, have a look at Ooma. Great service and you’ll pay for it in 6 months or less, then it’s free for life. (Yours or Ooma’s, not yet sure which, but so far so good).
What did you do with the email?
Prior to breaking the ties to the cable company, what did you do to change anything and everything having to do with the old email address?
Suchis as, going to all the people you gave it to, as a contact, and telling them the new email addy ?
AFAIK, unlike the post office, there is no provision for one to do similar with ones email; give a forwarding address.
I have ROKU and you can watch some Fox shows free but they are delayed a day. You get adapted to it. I also hooked up HD antena in attic for about $50. Get all my local stations for weather and the alphabet stations.(not big into them) I get netflix for $9.99 a month and get all of the shows I want.
I’m starting year 3 in January. I never looked back and feel free as a bird!
Only thing we pay for is wifi and Netflix.
