I’ve never really been someone who is, say, a dedicated TV show watcher. As a child, we never had cable. Actually, come to think of it, the only time that I have ever had cable is since July of last year when John and I decided to get it for out apartment. Still, we have the basic channels that we got bundled with high-speed internet. Enough to watch the local news and a few shows on ABC, NBC, PBS, etc. In my pre-teen years, there were a few shows that I enjoyed watching afterschool or just before bedtime, but often I only caught them here and there and didn’t feel the need to catch every single episode the night that it aired.
Over the past few years, I’ve found it increasingly convenient to watch streams on my laptop or on my TV through my PS3. Of course there’s the pay services such as iTunes and Amazon On Demand, I can’t really justify spending money on shows I could more often than not, just get through free services.
I have quite a few friends who, given the state of the economy, are looking more closely into their bills and how much they really need that expensive cable bill. Once they start hearing all of the options out there, they really start to reexamine their attachment to the 100+ or 200+ channel packages.
There’s so many options out there, that I don’t think I’d ever be able to cover them all, but I’ll post a few I usually recommend in a series of posts, followed by a few articles that might be useful to check out if you find yourself second guessing your cable packages.
Enjoy.
