Gen X here, thank you, thank you, thank you! My cable and internet service is $270 per month and I’m drowning. This is so well put together.
You’re welcome!!! 😊
$189 for cable? That is insane. I took great joy in cancelling my Dish Network.
Thank you!!!! This helps tremendously
I'm so glad! You’re welcome. 😊
Awesome video! But I have a question: we don’t have a smart tv. We have an old Apple Mac desk top computer with which we watched cable via the internet providers tv streaming service. How can we use your method with our current equipment? Our Mac computer is currently running on 10.13.6 and can’t be updated with any newer software 😢. And these apps, such as Pluto, how much memory or Ram do they take up when you download them? Many thanks for your help!
Hi! Try just opening a browser then going to Pluto.TV I think that should work regardless of the age of your computer. You can watch the paid subscription channels through your browser too (ex Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime video) 😊

GenXer here! Big thanks! GOD bless.
You're welcome. :)
What equipment (cable or cords) would I need to have an antenna, A fire (or Roku) stick, and DVD, and VHS. Is it possible to have all that hooked up to the TV at once? How would I do that?
To get access to free local tv channels all you need is a digital TV antenna. It plugs into your TV. Here's the low cost antenna I use on Amazon: amzn.to/3LPPbh4.
Check your TV to see how many HDMI ports (plug-in openings) you have. Some TV's have 4 or 5 now. But, if you only have 2, then DVD and VHS can just be plugged in when you need them. You can keep an antenna, Fire stick or Roku plugged in to ports most of the time.
I hope this helped. :) Check out my blog post about how to cut the cord for more details: www.abbottsathome.com/cut-the-cord-with-cable-watch-tv-for-free/
Sup er super help to start thank u
You’re welcome!!
I don't have a smart tv and interpreted your Roku 4 stick the necessary thing to workaround. However, I was wondering why is it necessary to have a smart tv? Can't you tether your laptop or phone and stream that way without your TV being a Smart TV?
I think Smart TV’s just mean they have the software to connect to the internet or phones, laptops, etc and then perform the work. I’m not sure older TV’s can do that. You’d need special equipment. The Roku stick just provides an easy to use interface for connecting to streaming apps. 👍😊😊
The thing that makes a TV "smart" is the fact that the internal software can quickly and easily connect to the internet.
I had no idea there was a 60 Minutes Australia until I watched content on youtube, I think the AU show is 10 X better than the US version. youtube has a bunch of my favorite channels like Nat Geo Wild. Its amazing how much good stuff, like A&E etc...is available for free on youtube.
There’s a ton of great content on TH-cam. Something for everyone. 😊
I love TH-cam it’s all I watch
Nice but we are in West North Carolina and only one major network is in Asheville. The others are in SC or TN and with the mountains it makes it hard to get broadcasts without a high, directional antenna. We pay $175 for TV Internet and Phone and I'd love to drop the TV but each network has at least one program my wife wants to watch. I think to turn off TV you have to d it for at least 60 days so there is no savings doing it when you go one vacation.
Can you get high speed internet in the mountains?? You can stream TV with just the internet. But, I’d test whether or not you like the free TV options on Roku before canceling cable or direct tv. 👍
Love your cat so cute
Thanks! I tell her that all day! :)
Thank u soo much. I am 67 and am an idiot about technology of any sort.
I am cutting cable in a few days and seeing what I need. Your cherished me stuff I had no idea was available.
Question: To watch Fox tv programs or at least daily clips or u talking about youtube free videos or the paid youtube?
I'm happy to help! You can watch FoxNews free on TH-cam here: www.youtube.com/@FoxNews/videos and the Fox TV channel is on the Tubi app and Roku app for free.
Does this work for Canada
I would think so. Roku is one of the top streaming sticks in Canada too. The CBC also has a TH-cam channel www.youtube.com/@CBCTheNational/videos. You could search for other news on TH-cam too. Most of them will have a channel. All of the other streaming apps should work the same for you too. :)
What if you don't have a smart tv
How do I get the attenta's?
Hi! You can find the one that I have on Amazon: amzn.to/48JYB8t or WalMart, Target, and stores like Best Buy will have similar antenna's. :)
You forgot to cover one very important topic. My cable plan includes a DVR for recording shows. Do any free streaming services offer free cloud recording?
I thought I’d miss my DVR when I quit cable. But now all of the shows I watch are available to stream anytime. You don’t really need a DVR. If I like a show, ex. Chicago PD, I just go to the Peacock app (since they make the show) and I can see any episode from all of the seasons plus new ones as they come out. If you need to DVR a sporting event that you can’t watch on an app you subscribe to, I think you can buy a simple DVR on Amazon that can be programmed to record off your live tv. 👍
@AbbottsAtHome thanks, I'll look into it.
Don't you have to pay for peacock now???
@@lisabaybee I think so. For a short time it was free. But, I think for new subscribers it's paid.
@@AbbottsAtHome thank you so very much I appreciate it.
Just wanted to ask after the 68 channel my roku onn tv has 4 thousand channels for free as well is that over the air or online tv as well please let me know thanks. I just sub to your channel as well and gave a like too.
Hi! The Roku is over the internet. 👍
@@AbbottsAtHome Thank you for the information
TSN is one of our channels we watch mainly for CFL .. lol … would we get a subscription ?
@@54suzie I just did a quick search. It looks like there is a CFL+ app that you can watch games on (on a tv, computer, or phone). I'd test it out for a week or two on 1 TV and see how you like it before canceling cable. But, hopefully you end up saving money. :)
I had cut cable long ago, being that I had to setup internet separately I just took the Internet and it's my TV, Cable, Movie Channel and all I pay is 130 and tax it's been 20 years my cable at the time was at 120 + Internet I been saving for years Amazon is my movie cable and now streaming TV See Just get the internet only and you can save a bundle As for other things The internet it's self is costly charges here and there like online games, online security, online shopping like Amazon yearly fees Get the Point!
Thanks for sharing your tips!!
I live to far away from stations that an antenna would help.
If you can get a good wifi internet connection, then a $30-$40 Roku can get you tons of free TV.
Love you tube
Is it comparable to android TV
Pretty similar. 👍
What if we have three tvs
I also have 3 TV's. Each of them has a Roku. But, the 3 Roku's use the same email account. 😊
I only paid $55mo many yrs no raise but i prefer air tv.
For peacock is the best paid content
No such thing as a digital tv antenna .
Here's a link to my Digital TV Antenna: amzn.to/3zgVAyU
YES I CUT THE CORD ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND SAVE AT LEAST $129 A MONTH. AFFORDABILITY CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM WILL GIVE YOU $30 A MONTH INTERNET ACCESS ALL I PAY IS $35 A MONTH FOR 500 MBPS FIBER AT&T,
In Massachusetts...there's no internet for less than 70 00 a month!!! Xfinity 😢
@@colettejaques2559 MINE IS 500Mbps FIBER AND IT GREAT.
ANTENNA=FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in 2024!!!😊
Good luck with it! 😊
