The #1 Mistake People Make After Canceling Cable TV

The best thing about leaving Dish is that I took off the actual dish, and then mounted a $40 antenna on the J pole, and used the existing cables that they ran to my TV's to get all my local channels. In addition, I use a streaming service for the rest of the non local channels.

The best combination for me right now is antenna, Netflix and Hulu. I used to have cable like 4 or 5 years ago then I got tired of paying almost $200 for cable plus Comcast always had problems with their service the cable would just go out all of a sudden and it wouldn’t be storming or anything.

The biggest plus for me ditching Direct tv was the capability to decide for myself what channels/services I use. The tv delivery services business model of collecting money to add channels to their packages has never matched my needs. At least with streaming you have options and can manage your expense. The TV service model is dying because people no longer want to pay for 15 shopping channels or music channels or ..... at least I am in control and to me that is the biggest advantage to streaming

If you don’t watch much live TV, it can be a good option or you can just cut out the expensive sports packages and still watch live TV.

I searched out about 15 movies that I would like to have watched again. Not a single one of them was available on Netflix.. so I started searching through the movies that were available.. mostly new movies that were a year to five yrs old… so I gave a few of them a chance, it was worse than trying to sit through the Ice Capades. I did not make it 10 minutes through any of the newer movies. Flying dinosaurs, little kids saving the world, completely unbelievable and unrealistic scenarios.. I soon realized why all those new movies are available on Netflix so soon, it’s because they completely bombed at the box office..

The problem with your math is that most people have Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, etc... when they have cable. So their price with cable would actually be your $100 PLUS the price of the above services you listed. When I dropped Comcast and kept internet I picked up Philo plus an antenna for locals. My net savings per month was $95. During football and basketball season I picked up Sling Orange with the sports pack and lifestyle pack (Hallmark for the wife). My savings at that point was still $70/month. At the end of March when basketball season is over I will drop Sling and go back to Philo until Labor Day when football returns.

In fact it was more expensive to go down to the next plan of 400 mbps because router was not included. I tried KZbin tv, but with a surround sound setup, the sound was not good- didn’t even support 5.1. Hulu sounds much better and has a very clear picture. We got all of the channels we were looking for except one. And the only premium channel we might pay for during a specific show is hbo for 15 and since my sisters’ families want to watch it as well, we will split that cost.

So With my vast dvd library and VHS Library, I get enough free stuff to ever think about paying for a service.

I understand but most subscribers were paying more than 100.00 and the cost for cable or satellite was increasing. Currently I have KZbin TV and few other streaming services but like you said those services were purchased temporarily and I canceled some of my streaming services. The good news is you can subscribe for a short period and cancel the streaming services anytime unlike cable or satellite 📡 services.

I did it, dropped cable TV, got a TV antenna to watch local TV stations for important weather and other news and shows. Picture quality is much better then cable which is less than 2K, your cable screen is filled with station notification and channel numbers, makes the screen viewing area slightly smaller than Antenna. I’m saving $81 a month; TV antenna cost me $75, it payed for its self in the second month. So far I have PLEX, Crackle -owned by Disney-, TUBI, and yes PLUTO, even it’s pr-recorded shows still have fun watching a marathon of Mission Impossible TV show originally shot on 35mm film with absolutely rich colors. KZbin has everything you missed but with ads, I don’t have a problem with that. The only thing I’m paying for is Netflix but it’s through family and friends program. Disney plus has that as well, they have a good library of National Geographic shows if you like. With cable TV You are stuck with wherever they offer in that package, with a TV antenna you get channels you don’t even have on cable, and if you a Samsung TV they have their own free streaming channels added to the local antenna.

The cable companies (particularly Comcast) are savvy to the cord cutters and plan to add usage charges in 2022. I was told for tier one internet which is 25 mb/s the included cap will be around a 1.2 tb data limit per month and then billed per gigabyte after that. They will eventually get their money one way or another. Until there’s more competition we’re at their mercy.

[@StilettoSniper]

I cut the cord and have like 300mbps service for $60 month from Comcast. The performance and reliability is excellent. I own all of my own equipment, so I don't pay any rental fees. The 1.2TB per month cap is old news. It is plenty for me (I have 833GB left and tomorrow is the end of the month). I have never gone over like 600GB because I don't spend my life on the couch or in front of a computer. BTW, they charge $10 for 50GB blocks over 1.2TB, they do not bill in blocks of 1GB.

We have our choice of 3 cable companies in our corner of Delaware County, PA. RCN, Verizon and Comcast all provide service here. We just switched to Comcast because RCN was charging us $300+ a month. Comcast gives us internet, a landline, and DVR cable TV service for 2 TV's as part of their triple play for $185. I was surprised to discover Comcast allows us to access many streaming apps on these 2 TV's, even though one of them is NOT a smart TV. (I don't know what it's called when the cable company provides the internet apps through their cable or how long Comcast has been doing this.) We have 3 other TV's that use the Xfinity streaming app for live TV via our WIFI to get all the same stations we get on the 2 TV's connected to the cable. 2 of those TV's are Fire TV's and the other has Roku built into it. So we can access HBO and HBO Max for free along with a bunch of other free streaming apps on these 3 TV's. We are both retired and spend a lot of time at home but we both have VERY DIFFERENT preferences for what we want to watch. I watch a lot of local Philadelphia sports war movies, KZbin DIY videos, war movies etc etc. And she watches a bunch of stuff that I would NEVER want to watch. For me to cut the cable and spend a lot of time trying to analyze all the costs of a bunch of different costly streaming apps wouldn't make any sense, even if I had the time and patience to do that.

I feel he's making in my opinion the classic mistake in comparing something like KZbin TV to traditional cable. Most people that have traditional cable are also getting Netflix, Disney bundle and possibly HBO anyway. So really we are just comparing cable to KZbin. Subtracting the $100 cost of cable and substituting the $65 KZbin TV is a savings - apples for apples. I have Verizon and when I canceled the cable portion of it they did not raise my internet rate - that stayed at $50 a month. However, I choose what the $65 KZbin TV charge was too much when it went up so dropped that, got CBS All Access and a few free TV apps, plus some sports channels that don't charge. I now pay less than a hundred bucks a month including internet for everything I want.
