Survey data shows most people plan to abandon cable within 10 years — but why wait?
The cord-cutting movement is here, and thanks to all the available services out there, it's easy to replace cable with one or a variety of streaming options.
First we'll look at the best online apps and services to watch movies and TV shows, and then we'll show you the best hardware you can buy to put all that multimedia on your big screen.
These solutions are the next best thing to live TV — and you'll be saving much more money in the long run.
First, let's look at the best apps and services...
1. Netflix
Netflix is a best place to start if you want to be able to stream movies and TV shows — including a growing number of Netflix originals — on almost any device you could think of. New content drops each Friday.
Price: $9 per month ($10 per month starting in May)
2. HBO Now
HBO has some of the best content out there, but prior to last year you had to be a cable TV subscriber to enjoy the content. Well, HBO finally listened to fans last April and unveiled HBO Now, a monthly subscription service for people who don't have HBO in their cable package, or any cable package at all. If you've never seen "Game of Thrones,""Silicon Valley," or any of the incredible HBO shows over the years like "The Sopranos" or "Six Feet Under," do yourself a favor and buy this service. You won't regret it.
Price: $15 per month
