My wife and I cut the tie to cable/satellite tv two months ago. We stream Netfliks/Huluplus and watch movies we’ve chosen and listen to music we’ve chosen through Apple TV.
I bought a powered antennae to pick up local digital/analog tv stations (which we probably won’t be watching for the next four years because we might accidentlly see national news with their god Obama).
We get any news we want over the internet at websites like this, as well as Drudge, Foxnews.com, etc.
We really haven’t missed satellite tv at all. We are saving about 70 dollars a month. I highly recommend one of the streaming products. We are heavy into itunes so Apple TV made sense for us, but I understand Roku is good as well as others. You definitely need a good wireless router. I recommend Apples Airport Extreme. Very few dropouts on streaming. I’m sure there are other good ones out there as well.
Take the plunge, you won’t regret it.
Thanks for that post.
I’ve been thinking about getting Apple TV, but I’ve been concerned about streaming issues. There are times that youtube drives me up the wall.
I think I’ll call Apple today.
