Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 3156781, member: 2839"] As I mentioned, I did a more detailed analysis of our entertainment package, which recently jumped 15%, vs. cord cutting. Basically the big cable companies are getting creative, provided that customer owns certain hardware. I own a compatible modem/gateway, a Roku, and a Chromecast. As of Yesterday, we were paying over $250/month for Xfinity Triple Play and Hulu. This does not include NetFlix, to which I get through trading my Xfinity password, We were on the second highest tier for TV channels which included all of the premium movie channels. My analysis on cord cutting totaled a $50 savings and included: $80 Internet (supporting 2 Smart TVs, at least 1 Device (Roku), 3 tablets, 2 phones, and at least 1 laptop) 50 Youtube TV 20 Philo (primarily for Nickelodeon) 16 Netflix (Presuming I can't trade a different password) 6 Hulu 15 HBO (Through Hulu) 9 Showtime (Through Hulu) [U]7 VPN[/U] [B]$203/month[/B] BUT!!!!! What we came up with is sort of a hybrid. Comcast has a Beta Xfinity Stream app on Roku and newer Samsung Smart TVs. We are in the process of replacing our auxiliary boxes ($10/month x 2) with Roku devices and also went down a tier for channels and got rid of the premiums. We still keep the main box for DVR and X1 voice command. [B]Going forward our monthly bill will be about $185, [/B]and I will be judicious in when I order HBO and/or Showtime. For instance, I haven't watched any of [I]Billions [/I]this season. So I'll wait until the season is over and binge-watch it within a month. Same with [I]Succession [/I](disregarding the first season being free)[I], Silicon Valley,[/I] [I]Ballers, [/I]etc[I].[/I] In short, if anyone has Comcast check this option out. [/QUOTE]
