I wasn't thrilled with the idea of getting rid of my tv though. The antenna was not quite enough programming and sometimes I really missed live national and world news. Sling is the perfect solution for me since I already had a Roku for my Amazon and Netflix movies.Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-44821280450799488642015-02-22T09:02:20.672-06:002015-02-22T09:02:20.672-06:00I have only recently gotten cable again... a year ...I have only recently gotten cable again... a year and a half ago.

The 3 of us have managed to adapt to the change, but I would imagine that would be much harder to do with more people in the house. I have hated that my Dad couldn't watch his football when he visited with us, especially during the holidays.Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-87377723681388366212015-02-20T11:32:04.425-06:002015-02-20T11:32:04.425-06:00I have been looking for a way to ditch cable tv th...I have been looking for a way to ditch cable tv that works for our family (plus we're in Canada so we have fewer options than our US neighbors) - It's so ridiculous what cable tv costs here!

It is nice to have live tv back, but especially nice that we aren't paying over $100 a month for it! That cable bill was completely ridiculous. Between Netflix and Amazon Prime we see plenty of movies.

I am also too lazy to do the research on how I can end my relationship with my provider. Thank you for this very informative article about programing available with Sling.

I do know when cutting basic monthly costs in a home, that cable bill seems like the best place to start the elimination. I do laugh at us myself for having those rabbit ears again.

They have kept their cable for the same reason, but Sling has ESPN and ESPN2 as part of their basic package. They also have an upgrade for $5/mt that is a Sports Extra Package. Since I am not a huge sports fan, I'm not sure if that would cover your needs, but it might be worth looking into: https://www.sling.com/package<br />Sylvestermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690700963857028874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-16496340496923152802015-02-20T08:09:38.698-06:002015-02-20T08:09:38.698-06:00Sounds good.

My problem is the main things I watch on TV 6 months of the year is 'baseball' and that's the main reason I keep cable. Good to know there is an inexpensive alternative for people who just want local programming and movies. Glad you found it works for you.Wednesday Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125647693828663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-90438499018939091492015-02-20T07:35:45.629-06:002015-02-20T07:35:45.629-06:00Thank you for the review, Cynthia.
