MAKING THE CHANGE TO INTERNET TV

 Everyone hates their cable company.  The cost for simply watching your favorite channels is simply crazy.  Here's why.  Cable companies know what people watch the most.  They bundle the most watched channels into several different tiers so that you have to purchase the highest package in order to get your favorite programs.

You would think that making the change to a streaming TV service would offer a better and cheaper option.  Here are some bullet points to be aware of when choosing a streaming service

  • You will still need an internet connection.  Either Spectrum or Frontier for this area or cellular for your tablet.
  • No one offers an a-la-carte option for picking only the channels you want to watch.
  • There are MANY choices for streaming companies and all of them make it difficult to decide what package to chose.
  • You can't simply stream the few channels that you want to watch.  Current equipment doesn't allow you to turn off the channels you don't want.

None of this is totally the fault of the TV company.  It is the fault of the big media companies like Disney. Each media company owns several channels.  They force by contract their content on the TV providers.  Even if the user doesn't want a particular channel, if you buy a package you are given all the other content offered.
