[QUOTE="gtpi, post: 321820, member: 869"] ive been whining and crying over cable and my monthly bills for years. well i finally did it and cut the cable. went from a $190 a month down to $120 in my first attempt. i expect that to decrease as i find more apps. i have a samsung smart tv but it just didnt cut it as far as how it handled streaming etc so i ended up buying a fire tv box. AND im very happy i did. fire tv (not to be confused with fire stick) does a great job of streaming. has an extra 4-5 gig of memory for apps etc. there are something like 7,000 apps to chose from. from a mfg engineers perspective... best form fit and function ive seen in a piece of electronics in quite awhile.AND IS HAS ALEXA. $80 was money well spent imo. i ended up with sling tv and netflix along with the ability to chose from 7000 apps. many of which are free. i also added a free Youtube app which is killer. movies sports AND i dont have to watch the lies from lame stream media news any more. my first choice was play station vue but after experiencing their god awful customer service i decided on sling. for those of you who dont know... ps vue has a ton of technical issues. i had a week of free viewing available but as it turned out i did not watch a single minute of streaming during the entire 5 days. a ps vue free week is not 7 days but only 5. to make matters totally unbearable.... every time i tried to contact customer service for help via chat i had to fill out a captcha form every 3 minutes during my wait. i was able to chat once over 4 days and spent hours filling out captchas every 3 minutes. TALK ABOUT AGGRAVATED. with sling and youtube i have all the sport channels and viewing options i could possibly want. i also spent $10 for a hd indoor wall mount tv antennae. i receive 16 additional local channels including the big 4. gt bob is a god on youtube with all his gt fb and bb videos. TANKS GT BOB. if you read this please consider adding cc for us old farts who are hearing impaired if you can. when i went to my local time warner/ spectrum office to cut the cable the arrogance i encountered was unbelievable. the girl helping me said "youll be back" after refusing to even discuss giving a long time customer a better deal with the package i had at the time. certainly explains the increases in my bill over the past 3.5 years from $117 to $185 without a single change to my package. they evidently feel that we have no options. next on my agenda is looking into using a raspberry pi to see if i can reduce my internet dependence even further.
