[QUOTE="skatalite, post: 2039669, member: 6808"] Wife and I cut the cord back in 2009, and haven't looked back since. We use a PlayStation 3 and watch content using the following apps: Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and YouTube. Since the PS3 is also a Blu-ray and DVD player, it's kind of the perfect entertainment box. We pay $79 a year for Amazon Prime, which gives us free two-day shipping on purchases on Amazon.com, and access to Amazon Instant Video. We pay $7.99 a month for Hulu Plus. We pay $7.99 a month for Netflix. YouTube is free, but has a large number of TV shows, concerts and movies on it. Before we cut the cord, our cable bill was about $120 a month. Now it's a fraction of the cost, and we get to dictate what and when we watch things. Also, there are a number of YouTube clone websites out there that stream current television shows and movies. They're actually legal to access and use since the site themselves aren't hosting content. With popular shows, like "The Walking Dead," you don't have to wait very long for the episode to appear online. Usually it's instant after the episode finished airing on television. Do it. Cut the cord. Don't look back. [/QUOTE]
