Some readers of this article will remember the time when television was free. All you had to do was to buy a set, attach an antenna, either indoor or outdoor, plug it in and turn on the set. There was no cable or satellite dish. The antenna brought the magic of television to your home. In only a few short years, cable television became popular. Today subscribers can pay from 30 to 100 dollars monthly for cable. That transcribes to 360 to 1200 dollars annually for this service. Here is some great news. For the absolute cheapest TV reception, cut out the cable company.
When all televisions were analog sets, cable grew in popularity because reception was often bad. Pictures often had shadows or snow and in some cases were not viewable. Recently all television was changed to digital broadcasting. Television stations still send out their feed through the airwaves, they are at different frequencies than before. The good news about digital television is that pictures are always clear if there is any reception at all.
By attaching your set to an antenna you will still have access to most of your favorite shows whether the broadcast in the day or at night. The cost to you is absolutely nothing. In addition you will be able to see some sports and local and national news.
If you are addicted to movies, then a less expensive option is to join an online movie rental. The fee is in proportion to the number of movies you wish to check out at one time, but begins at only 5 dollars per month. Within two days of sending one movie in, you will have another in your home. You can watch the movies at your convenience, mail the back and get the next movie in you cue.
Some of the online movie rentals offer you the ability to download older movies immediately for viewing. This is included in your monthly agreement.
Many families find that they are watching less television than ever. If you are among the many families that watch two to four hours of television per month, then why spend even thirty dollars per month on television cable. That works out to 7. 50 dollars per hour. The price seems very expensive for something that you may not use that often.
Think of what you can do with all the money saved by cutting the cable. In a few months time you will have saved enough to buy the big screen you have been wanting.
What if you pull the plug on cable and there is one evening when you cannot find anything to watch. Here is some great news, there is always another option for television. It is called the off button. Turn off the TV, and visit with your family. Get to know your children or spouse. Have a family game night. If the weather is agreeable, go to the park and spend time together, without television, video games or iPods. - 29968
