Thank You CWGUY. You were instrumental in a guy like me finally having the courage to try streaming. I am now ready to help others. It's all Your fault. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: I do my best which isn't too bad. I subscribe to Cord Cutters and get interesting updates from them daily. No regrets here. Television is much better, cheaper and more interesting by far.

Thank's a $$ MILLION $$. :)

Thank you for this link.

I will give it to our family techy. I don't mind paying for Television service, but I grow tired of the decreasing selections and advertisement offerings.

This is The Villages, when they say they will start at 6:30 most people show up at least hour early. When the room is full (fire code) the doors are closed. We were there at 5:30 and the room was at least half full. It was a good presentation and convinced me that cutting the cord will not work for us.

Is there a Cord Cutting Club? If so can you provide contact info?

The Geek Squad (Best Buy) will do a free consultation in your home and answer any questions you have and make recommendations. If you choose they will, at a cost, set your tv's to the streaming service that you want.

I found the service quite helpful. I decided to go with DirectTVNow. Saving $80/month. They also setup my remotes to control my tv and all other devices. I always have a tough time doing that. They also showed me how to use all the features of DirectTVNow.

I'm enjoying saving $!

Finally finally got a tech guy
 
352-289-1596 John Chambler, the best.
Can't tell you how happy I am dumping comcast!
Happy day, oh, happy day. Puchased firestick, and got Hulu (have to have golf channel.)
Most of you would know the "how to's", especially grandchildren but John is my hero! John knows EVERYTHING techy!

The Computer Connected Villager Club will have a presentation on cord cutting on Monday Feb. 4th at 1PM at The Eisenhower Rec Center.

It is very possible that one day Cord Cutters will be priced back up to where we were before we cut the cord. It is fantastic as of now.

Anyone thinking about doing it should get a Roku Device and keep the service you have now until you are at peace with how to use the Streaming Device. TV is great for us again. We have everything we want plus all the really old great TV. Herman Munster for Free, it's for me.

Remember, if I can do it. You can handle it too. Some people just don't want to be bothered like two out of our three sons. They pay somewhere around $240 a month to Comcast. The other son is a tightwad and spends either $25 or $30 for Sling. I always liked him best. SHHHHHH!

We use YouTube TV and Philo. $43 YTube $16 Philo plus thousands of free channels plus Amazon Prime Movies and Netflix.
