Cable vs streaming device.

[jopheso]

dropped cable/directTV 3 years ago. saving 100 bucks a month. Roku(8 bucks) + Netflix(8 bucks) + hulu plus(8 bucks) + Amazon Prime(90/year, but I use the hell out of free shipping so it doesn't really count) = I WIN!

I also use a digital antenna, small inside and I get 24 channels 14 in HD including all networks.

With Amazon prime you can also pick and choose different series. I pay 29 bucks for the entire season of walking dead. That type of thing and watch it commercial free the day after it releases on AMC.

Anyway to watch Big Bang Theory from a streaming device?

My wife and I looked through the shows offered from Hulu and apple TV and we couldn't find it.

I would definitely miss Penny!

CBS.com streams all their shows. I have hulu plus, but CBS is not on it. I use my laptop connected to my TV with an HDMI cable. I can stream anything and also surf the web. I don't mess with those streaming devices. With my laptop, i just go to hulu.com, netflix.com, cbs.com etc, etc.

I have a Roku 3 in my living room and a Roku Stick in my son's room. The 3 works awesome, however, the stick is hit or miss. More times then not, it will not catch my wifi signal and just won't work. It gets frustrating when a 3 year old his screaming for Thomas the Train and the damn thing never works. If you get a Roku, spend the extra money and get the 3. Even when the stick does work, it takes a significantly longer time to maneuver through the menu and load movies.

Make sure you have high speed internet and WiFi, I can't get it where I live so it makes my options only Direct TV or antenna. I tried to stream some but it just buffers forever..

Now AT&T owns Direct TV! They are also my internet provider.

Once i get moved out to Lacassine im goin to look into gettin rid of Direct TV.... or at least dropping it down to the min amount of channels

What do you all do about having a TV in the bedroom? I guess it's either another apple TV device or nada huh?

Aint but two things that should be going down. One is sleeping and the second does not involve watching tv

A device for each room is the catch with the streaming device

Yes, but you would make that up quick with the savings of no cable bill.

The RoKu 3 is only 100bux tho.... not bad considering i pay 160 per month for Direct TV Plus 50 a month for internet.
