Have you cut the cord yet? In other words, have you stopped paying your cable TV company for TV programming and entered the world of streaming TV services (Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, Philo, frndly, etc.)?
Back in 2019 I shared a web-based tool that could help you decide which streaming services would provide your "must-have" programming at the cheapest rate. That tool (Suppose.tv) is no longer being kept up-to-date. But about a week ago financial guru Clark Howard's website shared a streaming TV tool that helps you make that same decision. You simply enter the stations/channels you "must have" and are presented with corresponding streaming services and their monthly costs. Check it out: https://clark.com/technology/tvsatellite-cable/streaming-tv-comparison-best-channel-lineup/?channels=
Three more tips about streaming TV -
1) If you haven't made the switch yet, you can simply sign up for a trial subscription to one or more of the services to give them a try. We had our cable company turn off our cable for a month while we tried out streaming services which forced us to rely on the new services. At the end of that month, we made the decision to stop paying for cable TV and our TV boxes were picked up by the company.
2) If you have been using streaming services for awhile, I'd encourage you to use the tool to see if there are better/cheaper streaming services now that would meet your needs. We recently discovered we could save $15/month by switching. We've used YouTube TV and Philo for two years but are switching from Philo to frndly.
3) Switching from Cable TV to streaming services requires that you learn a new way of accessing TV shows. With practice and time it will become easier; I promise.
I hope you have a GREAT Tech Tip Tuesday!
