TV/Internet options...

[Bronn]

What is everyone doing for TV/internet nowadays?

I'm at a breaking point with TWC over price.. in fact, I had it setup to be cancelled but called them back once I talked to my wife. We want to have something else in place already before we cut the cord.

 

My only options are either of the satellite companies (which tbqh I am not a fan of). TWC, Prism, or something unconventional like a Roku.

We would like to have all the major networks like CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, etc. but we'd also love to keep a few of the other networks like HGTV, TLC, History, Discovery, etc.

Currently, my TWC internet is supposed to be the 15Mbps tier, but it varies. I'd like to keep a comparable speed there, too, if not better.

 

Thoughts? Input?

I am in the same boat. Right now I only pay 68/month for 1 HD DVR and 1 HD box, with 15h mpbs internet thru timewarner. The bill is set to jump up to $108 in  3 weeks.

 

I called Uverse and can get 18mpbs and the uverse 200 with HD.(all the poo you need). For $97 a month but I pickup  a whole home HD DVR.

 

Not sure I want to do satellite because I will rage if I lose signal during a football game because of a storm and the 2 year contracts suck.

I'm with Directv for my t.v., and Roadrunner for internet.  I'm actually just kind of biding my time till some Fiber company gets to the area I live in...

Directv and Cable Internet here. No complaints but it ain't cheap.

I use TWC for cable internet. It's expensive and not that fast, I feel like I live in a 3rd world country sometimes. I don't pay for cable tv since I can download or stream everything online anyway. I dream of the day google fiber comes to charlotte.

The dish and the games and storms were a real concern for me until I discovered that a $70 antenna from best buy will pull in my local Fox station at a quality that rivals if not surpasses the signal I get from the dish.

 

We are at the end of our two year deal with DirecTv and I am putting together the pieces to cancel the sub as soon as the last episode of Breaking Bad airs.  We are going to "cut the cord" completely and go with only Internet from TWC and then Roku, Apple TV,  Netflix, Amazon, and Off the air for all of our TV.

I could do that too but what about Monday night and Thursday night football?

Radio, Bars, Friends, and other less legal ways to have this content.

 

 

And if I'm not mistaken, if you're in the Charlotte area they will be carried by one of the local channels.

I was referring to other teams games. Bars are cool but I'd spend more money there than I would on cable. Friends' house is certainly an option.

I actually dropped direct TV, then a year later bought their Internet only NFL Ticket. I paid $350 and didn't have to sign a contract with Direct TV....this is great for people outside the Panthers viewing area!

Directv and cable internet. Only way to go IMO.

Isn't cheap.

There isnt a single source that'll privide both tv programming and reliable internet at a reasonable price.
