I've talked about cancelling cable for awhile now, but the cable was out for 3 days straight and I finally gave the box back to them. My brother was telling me about Roku, its a small box with a remote that picks up your wirless internet and is set for different channels like Netflix and Hulu.
Picked one up last week and man is it great !
The Roku is about $60, no monthly fee and you can subscribe to several hundred different channels. Netflix is the best for me so far but Hulu runs lots of Tv series and there are tons of specialized channels but a lot of them cost an extra $5 a month. Theres outdoor hunting/fishing channels, classic movies, new movies, westerns, comedy, politics, news, I think just about anything you want its here.
Netflix and Hulu cost me $10 each and I have several free channels and Pandora Radio. Thousands of hours of great stuff to watch when I want and for $70 less than a cable box.
Really kicking myself for not doing this sooner !
If anybody is looking for an easy way to cut the budget, boy this one is a no brainer !
