“It’s now possible to stop paying the cable bill and enjoy much, if not all of your favorite programming — at great savings.”
Longmire? Yes.
Game of Thrones? No.
I suppose reading the books (and be like many of us and frustrated with how long we've waited for the next book) would be the cheapest option (used books are VERY cheap...) Next would be just buying the season on BluRay when it comes out each year and suffering through the spoilers that appear on Facebook. (Or save more time and money and don't use Facebook.)
You can watch a show a year after it's off the air, i.e. available on Netflix, without having to worry about hearing any spoilers.
The other thing is that so many people are watching shows delayed via DVR that even those people that watch the same shows are reluctant to talk about the plots in public for fear of revealing a spoiler to someone who hasn't gotten a chance to view it off their DVR yet.
I watched entire seasons of Dexter two years after they were out without knowing a single plot twist.
Hmmm I must be doing it wrong then I watched all ten episodes and I don't have cable or Sat or even an antenna.
Yo ho ho and a Game of Thrones, FRiend. I’d be shocked if it took 12 hours to hit the public trackers.
Personally I’m just reading it, but that’s because I’m too antsy to sit around and watch stuff anymore.
You could still get GOT, just not entirely legally. The big thing you really gain with cable is simplicity, everything found on cable can be found elsewhere legally and otherwise, you just have to go find it. I’m too lazy for that, but being in tech I’ve got plenty of friends and co-workers that have setup all kinds of bots to go get their shows without cable.
