ALTERNATIVE TO CABLE/SATELLITE


So here is where we are eventually heading…

The end goal is to have:

High Speed Fiber Internet & VOIP – Estimated Cost Per Month $60

HD OTA Antennae for FREE Local TV – Estimated Cost Per Month $0

DVR Service for HD OTA TV – Estimated Cost Per Month $15, or $0, if you purchased the lifetime activation.

Streaming TV Service for TV channels normally available only on Satellite/Cable TV - Estimated Cost Per Month $30 to $55 per month, depending on the channels you choose.

Total Estimated Monthly Cost Per Month for TV, DVR, Internet, & Phone - $90 to $120, depending on the services you want.

My specific plan I have in mind is:

Sonic High Speed Fiber Internet & VOIP – Estimated Cost Per Month $60

HD OTA Antennae for FREE Local TVCost Per Month $0

TiVo DVR Service for HD OTA TV – Cost Per Month $0

Sling TV Streaming TV Service for specialty TV channels: Including ESPN, AMC, Food Network, A&E, TNT, El Rey, IFC, Disney, TBS, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, ABC Family, HBO, Epix, Sundance, TCM - Cost Per Month $50.

Total Estimated Monthly Cost Per Month for TV, DVR, Internet, & Phone - $110 Per month

Unfortunately, Sling.com TV will have to wait until my Direct TV contract is up in 2 years, and fiber becoming available will depend on who else switches to Sonic in my neighborhood.
Oh well.

Anyway, for those who have an awesome internet connection not tied down to a cable company and are interested in streaming TV, check out Sling TV. You can customize your channel package to your needs and wants.
