Cutting the Cord.

DISCLAIMER: Sorry mods, I honestly didn't know where to put this thread, so I put it in General Discussion and hoped for the best. Please move thread to correct topic accordingly.

 

So, I have been considering cutting the cord for a while now. However, my case is slightly unique. I currently have basic cable which includes the local channels that I can get through an antenna and HBO, Showtime, and Starz for free. I wanted to upgrade to a plan with BBC and AMC, however, I suddenly realized that a package with those channels would make my bill suddenly much over $100 a month, so that's not an option.

 

I currently have an ongoing Netflix subscription, and I used to have a Hulu plus subscription (which I plan on actually renewing soon). However, I was wondering if there were any services that could help me get shows from channels like BBC and AMC not a year after they come out (*cough*netflix*cough*) at a reasonable price? I would also prefer it to not be something from iTunes, I already hate having that program on my computer just because of my nano as it is.

theres probably an app on the roku

if you don't mind actually paying for it

tho I think most people would just download the few extra shows they can't get on netflix or hulu

I cut the cord a few months ago and for the first couple of weeks I thought I needed to find things to watch on the various streaming apps and while I did find things to watch I slowly found myself watching less TV and keeping busy doing more productive things. Just give less a chance before you feel the need to find a new way to watch your old shows.

APIV isn't that far behind releases.

 

It cost 100 US a month though, but you also get the joys of prime.

Try sling TV, it has a few of your channels, it works with your PC phone and set top box

You get AMC and 22 other channels for 20 a month, HBO is another 5 a month

I don't see BBC, Showtime, or Starz tho

You can actually watch BBC shows right on their website if you have a VPN w/ a UK ip address.
