; </p> <p>When was the last time you watched TV on a TV? The rise of Intern=
et streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime has inserted=
some welcome competition into the marketplace, giving long-suffering cable=
customers an alternative they've craved for years. Over the past few years=
, traditional cable companies have seen their overall subscribership drop. =
Telecommunications research firm MoffettNathanson estimates the loss at rou=
ghly 3 percent per quarter from the first quarter of 2012 to the second qua=
rter of 2014. Meanwhile, Internet streaming continues to expand. CBS and HB=
O announced new streaming services in October, and DirecTV started offering=
non-subscribers its NFL Sunday Ticket service over the Internet. What does=
that mean for you? Options. The pricey, one-size-fits-all cable package is=
history. Viewers will be able to choose from an ever-expanding menu of ser=
vice on the Internet. And cable companies are going to fight to keep their =
market share with new products like mobile apps and cloud-based DVR program=
ming, telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan says. ? The user can watch what=
ever they want, whenever they want on whatever device they want,? Kagan say=
s. Let's put those options to the test: I currently shell out $25 a month f=
or Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, which includes its Instant Video st=
reaming service. But I'm not a true-blue cord cutter. I've been living with=
my parents to save money while I pay down student loans. Although I don't =
spend much time surfing channels, I won't pretend I don't enjoy binging on =
HGTV or the Cooking Channel.</p> <p>When I do get a place of my own, I want=
to spend no more than $100 per month on cable and streaming services. Mind=
you, that's not counting the cost of a TV and Roku 3 streaming device. And=
since the key to saving money is often some careful forethought, I've alre=
ady started planning. Here's what I have learned so far. What I'd get with =
Internet streaming: Greater flexibility: Unlike most cable companies, strea=
ming services offer the ability to sign up and cancel without termination f=
ees. For less than $10 per month, I could sign up for Hulu Plus or Netflix,=
browse what they have to offer, and if I don't like it, I can cancel. A di=
fferent viewing experience: On Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime Instant Video, I =
can subscribe to my favorite shows. That means the service will let me know=
when new episodes are available and make them easy to access by placing th=
em prominently on my customized home screen once I sign in. Things work a l=
ittle differently on Netflix. The service uses the content I watch and reco=
mmends similar TV shows and movies based on my ratings. No Internet, no vie=
wing: For anyone who uses a satellite cable provider, stormy weather often =
calls for watching a DVD because of poor signal reception. When you rely on=
streaming services for some or all of your entertainment, power outages wi=
ll be your nemesis. You can't stream when your Wi-Fi router loses power.</p=
> <p>What I'd get with cable: More shows: I admit that I channel surf, and =
occasionally I do stumble upon shows that I was never actively looking for.=
That's a nice perk of an otherwise expensive cable service. Is it worth it=
? Not for me. When it's my turn to pay the cable company, I think access to=
100-plus channels will be the first thing to go. Sports: ESPN and other ma=
jor sports networks are a staple of basic cable packages. If your quality o=
f life would suffer without access to NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL games in real ti=
me, then you're going to need to keep that cable intact. My interest in pro=
fessional sports, however, extends only to the annual CrossFit Games, the F=
IFA World Cup, the Olympics and the Super Bowl. A little bit of streaming: =
In some cases, a cable subscription will get you online programming from ES=
PN and other major networks that may restrict Web access for other Internet=
users. But you may not want to rely on that capability: Watching a 20- or =
40-minute show in an Internet browser doesn't make for an ideal user experi=
ence. A different kind of customer service Cable companies have been hammer=
ed for bad customer service, and I can relate. When I rented an apartment d=
uring graduate school, a glitch in my cable company's system erased my cred=
it card information and an automatic payment failed to process. Service was=
immediately disconnected, and I spent several hours on the phone getting t=
he customer service rep to admit it was their fault and to waive the fees. =
Kagan compared the way people think of cable company customer service reps =
with how audiences felt about telephone companies when Lily Tomlin portraye=
d Ernestine, a nasal-voiced terror of a telephone operator. But here's the =
thing: There's only one number to call when you have a problem with cable. =
Now, when a streamed movie won't load, it's hard to tell whether I should c=
all the Internet service provider, email Netflix or Hulu Plus or bring my i=
Pad in to the Apple store.</p> <p>So it's hard to say if I'd actually get a=
better customer service experience if I ditched my cable provider altogeth=
er.<br /> After all that research, here's my plan I'm not going to cut the =
cord completely. I think a hybrid cable-plus-streaming approach will work b=
est. It'll give me the option that fits my budget and drastically cuts down=
on the likelihood of paying for a lot of channels I will never watch. Time=
Warner Cable, which is one of the providers available to me, offers bundle=
d services. My hybrid approach breaks down like this: I'm leaning toward pl=
an A. I figure I won't need most of the channels offered in the deluxe pack=
age. I'm not interested in ESPN, and I can get a host of movies and TV show=
s through Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon while saving roughly $60 per month.=
But that's just me. If you're considering your options, I'd suggest a few =
important tips. Think it through Do some homework first. Make a list of dea=
l-breaker shows or channels and check to see if they're available on stream=
ing services. You should also call your cable company to ask about your opt=
ions if you want to downgrade. If you're totally new to streaming, it makes=
sense to test the services before you make any big changes. Canceling cabl=
e can be complicated and, if you're under contract for a one- or two-year c=
ommitment, expensive. However, it's very easy to sign up for most streaming=
services and cancel them without financial penalty if you discover their c=
ontent to be totally out of line with your tastes. It also pays to take a l=
ook at the back of your TV. If you find a USB drive there, then Google Chro=
mecast and Amazon Fire TV offer quick, low-cost options for getting streame=
d content onto a screen bigger than your phone or tablet. You should also c=
onsider higher-end devices like Apple TV or Roku, both of which make watchi=
ng streamed content on your TV easier.</p></td>=20
