Dumping cable TV still isn't for everyone, but it's much more doable=
than it used to be. With Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and DirecTV Now, you n=
o longer need a cable box to get traditional cable channels. And if you wan=
t premium channels like HBO, Showtime, and Starz, you might not need a chan=
nel bundle at all. Meanwhile, streaming devices such as Roku and Amazon Fir=
e TV have become faster and cheaper, making the switch from cable or satell=
ite TV to streaming video even less painful. So as we start the new year, t=
he timing seemed right for another decision guide for cutting cable TV, upd=
ating the one I wrote two years ago. Here's a breakdown of why you should&a=
circ;??or shouldn'tâ??ditch cable in favor of streaming video service=
s. Do you watch a lot of cable channels? Cutting cable or satellite TV used=
to mean giving up traditional channels such as AMC, FX, Discovery, and Com=
edy Central. But the new wave of streaming TV bundles have made such sacrif=
ices unnecessary. Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and DirecTV Now all offer doze=
ns of channels without the hardware rental costs, hidden fees, or the steep=
annual rate increases of cable. Hulu and (reportedly) YouTube are planning=
their own channel bundles as well. On the downside, all of these services =
have gaps in their channel lineups, and none of them offer live local broad=
cast feeds in every market. While streaming bundles can lower your TV bill,=
you might still need a jumbo-sized cable package to get every channel you =
want. How much do you value DVR? In a perfect world, DVR wouldn't be necess=
ary. Services like Netflix and Amazon Prime have shown us a better way, wit=
h large libraries of on-demand video that are also ad-free. But with cable =
channels, the on-demand selection can be patchy, and sometimes includes man=
datory ads. Until that changes, DVR remains a necessity. If you opt for a s=
treaming channel bundle, you may find DVR options lacking. PlayStation Vue =
offers a â??cloud DVR,â?=9D but it might not work with all chan=
nels and shows. Sling TV is working on its own DVR service, though it has i=
ts own restrictions and hang-ups. DirecTV Now doesn't offer DVR service at =
all. What's your sports diet like?

Sports channels are no longer impossible to get legally without cabl=
e TV. All three streaming bundles currently offer ESPN channels and regiona=
l Fox Sports channels, and both Sling TV and PlayStation Vue offer the NFL =
Network and NFL Redzone. If your favorite team is out-of-market, you can su=
bscribe to standalone streaming services for the MLB, NHL, NBA, and MLS. Th=
at said, some blind spots and caveats still exist. DirecTV's NFL Sunday Tic=
ket has no streaming equivalent (unless live in a dorm room, apartment comp=
lex, or other location where satellite installation isn't feasible). Gettin=
g nationally televised sporting events can also be a challenge unless you l=
ive in an area with solid antenna reception, which brings me to the next po=
int. How's your antenna reception? The over-the-air antenna is an aging tec=
hnology, but it's an invaluable tool for cord-cutters who live within range=
of broadcast towers. Major networks such as NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC typical=
ly broadcast in high definition, and modern indoor flat-panel antennas are =
capable of picking up channels from as far as 50 miles away. And if you inv=
est in additional hardware, you can even give your antenna super powers. Ti=
Vo's Roamio OTA can record broadcast channels and access streaming services=
such as Netflix. Tablo's DVR box can record broadcasts for viewing on many=
streaming devices. Plex's DVR service is a powerful solution for PC owners=
And the upcoming AirTV streaming box pulls live over-the-air channels dir=
ectly into the Sling TV program guide, so that all your channels are in one=
place. Can you mooch off a parent, friend, or relative?

While the practice of password sharing exists in a moral gray area, =
getting access to apps like HBO Go and WatchESPN could spare you the hassle=
and expense of a streaming channel bundle. These apps tend to have few res=
trictions against simultaneous streams, so provided you're not spreading lo=
gin details to everyone you knowâ??and aren't ethically bothered by t=
he whole affairâ??you shouldn't face any repercussions. How much are =
you willing to sacrifice? If your head is starting to spin from all these p=
ossibilities, restrictions, and workarounds, you've stumbled upon the bigge=
st caveat for cord-cutting: The harder you try to duplicate everything you =
had with cable, the more likely you are to fail. The more willing you are t=
o let go of certain things, the easier it is to move forward. It's no coinc=
idence that the fastest-growing faction of people without cable are those w=
ho never had it to begin with. Younger consumers who've grown up watching N=
etflix, YouTube, and Twitchâ??or perhaps don't watch as much TV as th=
e generation before themâ??don't see the value in a bloated cable bun=
dle. They haven't developed affinities for particular cable channels, or ha=
bits around DVR and multi-page channel guides. That brings me to my final p=
oint. How willing are you to try new things? For those who don't feel bound=
to traditional cable TV channels and experiences, ditching cable can lead =
you to a vast amount of content, and novel ways to enjoy it. You'll find ni=
che subscription services such as Seeso and Filmstruck, unique streaming ap=
ps such as Pluto TV and Crackle, troves of free video in apps like Tubi.TV =
and CW Seed, and news apps such as CBSN that are arguably better than the b=
ig cable networks. Meanwhile, Netflix and Amazon are rapidly building up th=
eir original video lineups, providing plenty of fresh TV entertainment outs=
ide of the cable ecosystem. </div></td>=20
