    I got a unlocked Amazon box with some applications like Phoenix, movie 4K, navi,

    They sell them on eBay for around 50-150$, one time price, all you need is an internet connection, and you can watch movies that come out in a week, movies in theatre, old movies, new tv shows, old tv shows, pretty much anything, all the nudie flixxx, pauper view events

    Just gotta have wifi, stop paying for cable about a year and a half ago

    @GabrielProsser can you get NFL sunday ticket with that unlocked amazon box?

    Hell yeah, been a Giants season ticket holder since I got the box lolol, sometimes they give you ? commentators tho, but i don't use the nfl ticket I use the local sports channel and in new yorks its msg network, like the dmv uses Comcast sports network and so fourth, I've watched pretty much every laker game I want to

    OH ? Knowledge is power!!

    Do you guys get something like "On Demand" where you can watch shows that already came on? I want to switch.

    @obnoxiouslyfresh

    Nah gorgeous


    What I do like though is that you can search and record any show weeks/months in advance. You can also record it on your box in 1 room and still watch it on every cable box in the house.

    We have a $79 package for Cable/Phone/Internet, but with all the extra fees and taxes, we end up paying ~140 a month. The contract is up in August. I was thinking about just getting internet and then subscribing to Hulu and Netflix. The problem is, that doesn't save a lot of money given that these cable companies charge a lot for internet. Internet alone is damn near as much as the packages. How have people gotten around that?

    Too much for wack ass xfinity. Rental agreement on my house says we can't have a dish tho (don't ask me why) otherwise i woulda switched cuz it's cheaper. I just got a fire stick with kodi and have netflix and all that but i do still watch live tv so it's worth it for now. I don't be in the mood to try to go through the internet to stream all the time.

    all you have to do is tell them you going to cancel your subscription and they will adjust your bill...

    Did that twice. First time they did it, second time they called my bluff lol


    Lmao I told a agent last month "you know what? I'm just gonna switch to direct tv since you can't make it cheaper. How's that sound?" This ? was like "sure, I can help you with that."


    I was like "I'm serious. I'm not kidding. You're gonna lose a customer."


    No ? given.


    I was like "lemme call you back."

    that's why.. yall have to come at them like "I like the services yall have but I can't afford to pay x amount on what yall have"

    what they have done for me.. is say "okay well I can give you our promotion we are running right now that is similar to what you have now and you can save x amount on your bill"

    Yeah, there are always promotions out there, and they are usually decent, but at the end of the day cable companies are always going to charge crazy fees and there will always be those extra taxes, so you're still going to end up paying more than what you first expect.

    People keep saying that high speed internet is expensive. Just keep the Wi-Fi. There is a difference and Wi-Fi is always cheaper.

    I´ve just cut the cord for the second time in 3 years. I make enough money as a teacher, but the $62 a month the cable company is charging is too much (especially when they brag that it´ll be rising again next year). I copped me a MXQ and have been with Smoothstreams since 2011, so I´m not missing anything.
