Those flat antennas, you can buy them a lot cheaper through Groupon and also on Wal-Mart.com and Home depot or Lowe's. I am in a bad area and this little flat antenna will pull in. 10 to 18 channels. If you are closer to towers, you will get more channels. You can buy boosters to put on it and some antennas come with it.
You did an AMAZING presentation as a Watch TV For Less, 101 Course!! This was really great and useful information!! I'm ditching my Spectrum tomorrow!!! So fed up with their RUDE CS agents! THANKS AGAIN!!!
I’ve been doing my research and trials. Hulu and PS Vue is great. The price are also good, however, we must also include the price of internet because without internet, we cannot use internet tv. Comcast/Xfinity is the best internet but... it co$t and the co$t keeps going up. AT&T is good but their new fiber internet is by far the very best but not available in all areas. As of now, my PS Vue is $74 and AT&T internet is $65. So I pay a total of $139 per month. Very good video Maggie!
Looks like you have done your research! I’m glad you’ve found a solid combo to help you save each month, and I’m happy to hear you liked the video! I don’t know much about the PS Vue-is it like Xbox with basically smart tv capabilities?
Yes I’m a cord cutter!!! Getting ready to move into my new place and already they are already suggesting I contact Verizon for Fios set up @39.00 for WiFi only ok then 12.00 for their equipment🤦🏽♀️Here we go again. NOT!! There’s a better way! That’s why I’m here. Girl!!! Ty for this 1 whew!!
give serious consideration to an IPTV service...small monthly fee which will give you EVERY ''LIVE'' TV network in the USA and Canada...including every LIVE sports channel, specialty channels...and movies on demand. Google IPTV service. I only pay $5/month (on top of the internet of course).
Very nice. I appreciate the info . One thing though, you may not realize how Chromecast works. You phone streams nothing , it only acts as a controller. Your battery should not be draining. If fact once starting a cast, you could leave, or even turn off the phone. It has no affect on casting. I actually prefer it to rocu or Amazon stick where you're limited to what apps they allow. My Android has almost no limitations, including 3rd party apps I can stream channels from around the world. In fact I've had a lot of fun exploring the endless options of apps from play store and 3rd party. We actually have more options then we had with cable. 2 things I would add: TH-cam TV $35 a month and the free and awesome Pluto TV
Sorry for 2 comments but my cable just went from $170 up to $220 and I don't have any premium channels like HBO or Showtime.... no Disney or sports .... $60 for internet and $60 Hulu live would still cut my cost by half and sounds like I'd get more.
My cable went up from 90.00 to 140.00 this week. I have amazon prime for saving in shipping and have never taken advantage of the streaming service .... but I bought a fire stick yesterday simply for my dad .. he likes his news and i cant see paying 140.00 for my 90 year old father to watch news so I am hoping i can get live news free or cheep through the fire stick and drop the cable box and cut the cost way down for him .
Because internet is a given when you have to do streaming. They are talking about the price of cable alone. You come out cheaper in most cases with getting netflix and hulu. I dont have to pay for netflix but I have hulu. Even with Spectrum Streaming app, I come out cheaper with hulu and get all that I want now that they are adding more. Then with TH-cam, I get even more and don't pay for premium. So, with internet and phone with hulu, I still come out much cheaper than I did with the streaming app through cable.
@@OTCRock4one Hulu has live tv but I am not quite sure if it is worth it. Not to me anyway. Look into Playstation Vue & Sling. Hulu, you can watch many shows the next day. You just have to figure out what you like & if hulu has those shows on there and if it is worth it. Naturally, there are some stations that dont allow it on there....example: I like some CBS shows, they aren't on hulu. Netflix, you get the seasons at the end of each season, usually closer to the next season. I personally don't care about most shows. I watch a lot of regular channels with the exception of maybe HGTV, Lifetime & shows that come on at night on Hallmark (Golden Girls, etc..but that is now on there with other shows I've been wanting to keep up with)
I just quit Fios and just kept Verizon internet. I use Amazon Firestick for Kodi, Netflix. I am going to get the antenna as suggested here to get abc, cbs.
i think you're forgetting the cost of the internet itself....can be 40-60 depending on speed...then tack on your advice and you're up to 100+. so cable/fios is 116 with taxes, tv, internet. dvr
Omg, thanks u so much... I love this girl... she actually explained what she said she would.... I've watched probably 10 men try to do this and they all start talking about tablets that control the fireplace and sound bars and placement of lights. Was thinking stfu and tell me about cable alternatives.
Lots of choices out there, but all I need is a cell phone and internet. Bundling is huge waste of money. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc? Don't need it or want it. I looked for 20 minutes for a movie to watch on Netflix and couldn't find anything. My cost is $70 for high-speed internet and $100 for 2 lines and 8 gigs of data...plenty if you use wifi. I use my friend's logon and watch TV on my tablet using the free app. Took me way to long to cut the cable cord because I'm old like almost all other cable users and didn't know I could even watch TV on a tablet. Probably doesn't bode well for the cable TV business though. Land lines are all but obsolete now.
Dumped fios tv and phone two months ago. Saved about 90. We have Netflix and nust bought am amazon fire stick (24.99 one time) and Sling. Waiting for football amd hockey season to make sure we have all the games we need. We are in dc area amd I don't believe sling has comcast sportsnet. Lots of people have told me to go through reddit for nhl streaming.
Purple Planet There the Apple+,Hulu+ and HBO only this three streaming services that only came very closely to the Netflix and the Disney Corp. Streaming services.
Vudu is free with commercials, it also allows you to rent and buy movies like a video store (except there are no late fees ;-) ) comes on most Westinghouse Smart TV's, I don't know if other brands have it too.
Thank you for this information. Only question I have is why would I need to buy the antenna? Is that to replace WiFi? Like if I have to buy the WiFi then say buy the amazon fire stick , my monthly bill would be WiFi, Netflix and Hulu?
Good job but just a bit more homework on how Fire Stick connects to tv, hdmi not usb. Usb provides power. Also Chromecast using your phone doesn't run your battery down much since casting it to Chromecast uses your wifi to Chromecast releasing your phone to do other things and still as remote as you did said. But still good info.
Thanks very informative! I am currently paying over 230 a month for cable for 2 TVs and internet. they also include Netflix. I am not able to afford this anymore. My question would be how do I find out what channels are available. I like my junk guilty pleasure TV like bravo. Animal planet and the list goes on. So it is important for me to know more specifics regarding available cable channels. Most important I am deaf and need captions. I believe that is almost always available. You are awesome!!! Any info regarding channels would be greatly appreciated.Or where I can find the info.
It is all unique to your area, but I just checked my zip code on this website www.antennaweb.org) to see how accurate it was using the knowledge of what channels I had, and it was pretty accurate. Hopefully this could let you know what channels will be available. Typically they won't include the specialty channels like Bravo, Animal Planet, etc., but there are a number of services (like Hulu) that do carry some of the shows on those channels. Hopefully this helps!! 20588899623www.antennaweb.org/
Google "best TV streaming service" will get you numerous articles, and many will have a chart that compares pricing and available channels for each of the more popular TV streaming services. Some have many packages that are stepped up in price and channels just like cable/satellite. And some have just one or two packages to make your choice simpler. Then you will need a way to receive the signal from whichever streaming service you decide on, one for each of your TVs. That's where a streaming device comes in. There are many available so again use Google for "best streaming device" to read up on them. In my research when I recently ditched Dish Network, for a number of reasons TH-cam TV (service) and Roku streaming sticks (device) were my choices, but your choices could be different depending on what channel(s) you absolutely can't live without.
This started playing & I thought 'what year is this'? 2010? I've been looking at all the streaming services & they are VERY expensive & more expensive than cable, at least where I live.
How can cable which has modems be cheaper than the internet? That's true when you live in underserved cell areas. I lived in a rural area for 3 years. I had to go to library to use the internet
@Cynthia Reynolds Cable charges us $277.00 a month for the middle tier. The only premium with that price is Showtime and HBO (Probably because HBO is not even good anymore. Mostly just Movies from the 90's). So not sure where you live but you must be getting an incredible deal.
I just got youtube tv and love it. I don't know how to stream it to my tv wirelessly though. My current tv is not a smart tv. I normally hook up my laptop to the hdmi and have to get up on every commercial to fastforward. Can you do a video on this topic? Thanks and love the content you are sharing!
@@mathieupierre6101 I did get the Roku and plugged it into the HDMI in the back of my tv. I can get the Roku working fine, except I can't figure out how to get to youtube tv.
Hello again quick question I went to no cable.. I was looking for a contact number and I didn’t see one by chance would you happen to have a number where I can actually speak with someone in Support thank you so much again for this video so very helpful and I did get a few of the streaming channels Netflix and Hulu thank you again :-)
Want to cut the cord. Would have to have A&E + AMC. No one offers both, except sling. Now have Netflix & Prime. Can you pay extra to to get both on A&E or Netflix?
Charles Weimer it you use a web browser and type in USTVGO.TV you will get over 80 channels for free and you will get your AMC & A&E.... Now the only down side is no DVR or video on demand but its 100% free
I got rid of Comcast and kept only the internet and purchased the TH-cam streaming service for all the channels and Comcast sent me a message that I was using too much internet so they force me to pay $100 a month for unlimited internet usage...otherwise the basic internet service is only for standard browsing only...and don't allow for streaming Netflix or movies from other online companies. So they screw you either way. I am paying them the $100 just for unlimited internet usage and chose Hulu $50 for everything including live TV and library of current TV shows etc. BTW there is Pluto TV it's free with lots of live TV shows and movies.
ugh i hate netflix... i must be the only one but i lay in bed for hours scrolling trying to find something worth watching then by the time i do find something I'm so tired I fall asleep in the first few min there's alot of junk on there
There are Roku sticks, Fire stick, & Apple TV (extremely expensive). My personal preference is Roku but I would go through TH-cam and find videos that talk about all 3. Roku has several devices at difference price levels. The streaming sticks/devices turn your tv into smart t.v.'s. Even if you have an older model t.v., Roku has one that allows you to use a device on there to with the red, yellow & white input cords (like what you may use for the dvd players). :o)
We only have internet 100 mbps 300 gb data caps under Cable One $45 for 6 months and $55 per month after. It was less than $10 cause we bought NETGEAR modem+router at bestbuy its only one time fee of $130 that will last for years and dont need to rent a modem+router through the internet provider that cost $10 a month. And our data+unlimited call n text are all under Cricket $80 per month but because its two line it gives us $5 discount and another $5 off cause of autopay online so we were only paying $70 per month.. But eventually for sure will be buying antennas :)
@@MaggiesTwoCents Also look into film rise if you havent heard of that one. Crackle also have their own shows. Not current like Hulu or Netflix but works wonders. Even with TH-cam now, some movies THEY download and allow you to watch free with commercials. You have to search through apps to find the good ones. I have the Fire Stick but I prefer the roku because it's easier to navigate but I gave mine to someone else (regret that one lol) and have to replace it.
Folks...as an alternative...teach yourself about IPTV...Google IPTV Services. I pay $5/month for every live TV network in the USA and Canada (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CBC, CTV, CHCH), plus EVERY live sports network, movies on demand and many other speciality channels....all included in the $5/month. IPTV works with your existing Internet service...and free to install.
Not bad. I might check out that antenna for free channels. Also You should check it the app Pluto tv. I found it last night and it is completely free it definitely should be on your list
That's pretty much it for me. During the short time I had cable through the summer, I would still watch some shows on Hulu. The only thing they didn't have were some shows on OWN I like a lot. When they put the previous seasons of those shows on Hulu, I cut the cord immediately. They aren't the current seasons and that's okay, I still have them! :o)
That's why so many are explaining it and giving ideas for what to do so you can make a decision of what is best for you out of all of this stuff. Narrow it down to the top 5 if you can and go from there...If not, at least the top 10 then take those down to the top 5. There are also free apps like crackle, roku tv, film rise, etc. Roku TV & Film Rise is not on everything but Crackle is on a lot of devices. They dont have the most recent movies and shows but they have some good ones. Hopefully you have found your way through the maze though. It can take some time but it can be done. :o)
Well, you have Crackle, Pluto TV, Film Rise, Roku TV (previous two aren't on everything but definitely, if you have a roku box/stick, they are on those). You have a ton of FREE things you can use (PBS & PBS kids are two more..at least the last time I checked). Antenna, you don' t have to spend a ton on. You may not have the updated movies and shows on the first apps I mentioned and have to tend with commercials but they're there and really good. :o)
I cut my crap off 10 years ago. $200 per month X 12 , X 120 months= $24,000. I was tired of being a Dum Dum because I only watched 6 Channel. At first I was like, :-( now I'm like O:-)

TV Antenna, frequency VHF, UHF, FM station. Free over the air TV, no monthly bill. Watch TV live. And add Netflix and your are set.

Even if you have an older model t.v., Roku has one that allows you to use a device on there to with the red, yellow & white input cords (like what you may use for the dvd players). :o)
There is no need to pay for anything. There are plenty of legitimate free streaming services available, such as Pluto.
Great video.Lots of info
Good advice
You did a nice job as far as you went. What about the Sling TV, DirecTV Now etc? Can you do a review of these?
Great video! Very helpful
Thank you so much! Hopefully you're well equipped to cut down on that cable bill now!
We only have internet 100 mbps 300 gb data caps under Cable One
$45 for 6 months and $55 per month after. It was less than $10 cause we bought NETGEAR modem+router at bestbuy its only one time fee of $130 that will last for years and dont need to rent a modem+router through the internet provider that cost $10 a month.
And our data+unlimited call n text are all under Cricket $80 per month but because its two line it gives us $5 discount and another $5 off cause of autopay online so we were only paying $70 per month.. But eventually for sure will be buying antennas :)
You forgot about crackle. It's free it's kinda like Hulu or Netflix but free. Of corse more limited.
+Richard Vacanti woah! I've never heard of Crackle before. I'll have to check that one out. Thanks!
@@MaggiesTwoCents Also look into film rise if you havent heard of that one. Crackle also have their own shows. Not current like Hulu or Netflix but works wonders. Even with TH-cam now, some movies THEY download and allow you to watch free with commercials. You have to search through apps to find the good ones. I have the Fire Stick but I prefer the roku because it's easier to navigate but I gave mine to someone else (regret that one lol) and have to replace it.
Lots of good information and love your enthusiasm as well, thank you
Thank you!!
Folks...as an alternative...teach yourself about IPTV...Google IPTV Services. I pay $5/month for every live TV network in the USA and Canada (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CBC, CTV, CHCH), plus EVERY live sports network, movies on demand and many other speciality channels....all included in the $5/month. IPTV works with your existing Internet service...and free to install.
i got antenna . then roku box , then got pluto tv / xumo/ stirr. i have no monthly fee
Smart, screw the cable people, Ripoffs
Not bad. I might check out that antenna for free channels. Also You should check it the app Pluto tv. I found it last night and it is completely free it definitely should be on your list
I pretty much use Hulu as a DVR service, nowadays...other than to watch Futureman and Handmaid's Tale.
That's pretty much it for me. During the short time I had cable through the summer, I would still watch some shows on Hulu. The only thing they didn't have were some shows on OWN I like a lot. When they put the previous seasons of those shows on Hulu, I cut the cord immediately. They aren't the current seasons and that's okay, I still have them! :o)
Very helpful thank u
But I need those Discovery Chanels and live tv
Try 'PHILO T.V. '
Also, see if they have the option to pay for their app without the cable service like HBO & Showtime do now. :o)
Use hotspot on smartphone
according to what i read you can cast to the fire stick too
I meant prime or Netflix.
Very informative review
How do you get your internet? Great video!
We use ATT! So it’s a separate charge each month. I believe it costs around $50.
@@MaggiesTwoCents AT&T SUCKS
You have to be a genius to find your way through this maze...and I ain't!
That's why so many are explaining it and giving ideas for what to do so you can make a decision of what is best for you out of all of this stuff. Narrow it down to the top 5 if you can and go from there...If not, at least the top 10 then take those down to the top 5. There are also free apps like crackle, roku tv, film rise, etc. Roku TV & Film Rise is not on everything but Crackle is on a lot of devices. They dont have the most recent movies and shows but they have some good ones. Hopefully you have found your way through the maze though. It can take some time but it can be done. :o)
I agree. I am one step away from extricating myself from ALL media input. But...... then there's the wife
Thanks and very informative
Plus internet service
That's common sense.
No Apple TV 4K 64GB? Big no no. I love apple products
You can even make money streaming live TV. Awesome right?
Hulu sucks now!! I'm happy with Amazon and Netflix ...but really good video thanks.
Don't you still need basic cable to stream...?
Nope, just internet
Thanks for the Information 😄
What about a@e ,discover, Texas flip it. I hate sports channels
Gears TV now has lifer accounts for 50 bucks, if you pay all at once
Cable is to much 😞
😁👍
I can't afford any of that junk
Yeah! I thought that was the whole idea, then she starts talking about the different plans! What,!
Well, you have Crackle, Pluto TV, Film Rise, Roku TV (previous two aren't on everything but definitely, if you have a roku box/stick, they are on those). You have a ton of FREE things you can use (PBS & PBS kids are two more..at least the last time I checked). Antenna, you don' t have to spend a ton on. You may not have the updated movies and shows on the first apps I mentioned and have to tend with commercials but they're there and really good. :o)
You need to quit making videos.. literally learned nothing because I was too distracted by how pretty you are. Ugh you’re so gorgeous!!
I pay $130 a month for direct
I cut my crap off 10 years ago. $200 per month X 12 , X 120 months= $24,000. I was tired of being a Dum Dum because I only watched 6 Channel. At first I was like, :-( now I'm like O:-)
