Cord Cutters Unite!


Cord cutting has been getting more and more popular all the time.  I think with how the economy is going it just make sense to cut out unnecessary expenses and paying the satellite and cable company for TV is one of them. 

We made the decision to drop satellite after the 2 years was up to save some money for the new baby coming in few months.  We also were frequently disappointed with the low amount of quality TV shows that were on our channel line up.  Dish network was a great service.  I was happy when something good was on, because it would be in HD.  It had to be dropped when we found that we watched the shows that were on broadcast channels more often than the other pay channels.

It doesn't make alot of sense now a days to pay $14 for a channel that plays movies you don't like and when you catch one you do, it's right in the middle of it.

What I plan to do starting now is research and find other providers of entertainment.  I will show you how I set it up and how well it works.  I will also provide a rating system I call "the wife factor" to rate how well she likes it.

After trying out all the new services and products, I can make a more informed decision about how to be entertained.
My purpose is to show you a cheaper alternative to paying alot for a particular service. Starting with TV and moving on from there.

Stay tuned. There's more to come

  1. Considering the fact that my wife is the ONLY reason why we have satellite TV now -- I'm perfectly happy with the occasional movie -- I'm hoping to convince her that we can seek cheaper services for our (or her?) entertainment.
    Keep in mind she's home just about 24/7 so the demand for "something always on" is always there at my house.
    Oh, and she likes those darned soap operas too!
    :(

    Anyway, I like where you're going with this. Good luck!
