How Much Can You Save?
$32+ monthly on Your Cable Bills When You Use Online Streaming to Watch Television
Making It Work:
Because of the rapid growth of technology and the growing cable and satellite television costs, it’s wise to take a new look once in a while at how much you’re paying to watch television.
The advent of various internet online streaming companies means more savings for you when it comes to watching TV.
Hulu
One way to watch recent television shows for free currently is accessing the Hulu website. Hulu makes available many recent television episodes for a wide variety of shows in high definition (HD).
It won’t cost you anything to stream Hulu to your computer for viewing. All you have to do is visit the Hulu website and set up an account. It literally takes less than a minute to be watching your favorite television shows for free.
If you prefer to watch Hulu’s many television shows and movies in HD from your Smart TV, smartphone, electronic tablet, or gaming console, for only $7.99 monthly you can order Hulu Plus. Hulu Plus includes “limited advertising,” which is Hulu Plus’s way of keeping down fees.
Netflix
In the event you don’t mind waiting to watch your favorite television shows until the entire season is available, Netflix’s ad-free streaming option also costs $7.99 per month and allows you to stream to internet-ready televisions, some smartphones and some electronic tablets. Netflix also offers many films for streaming, which are also included in the $7.99 monthly fee.
Wouldn’t you rather pay about $8.00 a month to Hulu Plus or Netflix to watch television rather than paying your cable company $40.00 or more monthly for their basic fees?
Use the Station’s Websites
Another way to save money on your cable bill is to watch your favorite television shows on their broadcasting company’s websites for free.
For example, ABC’s website offers several episodes of their most popular shows, which can be viewed right on your computer. The same goes for many networks like NBC, CBS, Fox, and others.
Crackle & TV.com
If you’re not all that choosy about what shows or movies are available to you and whether you watch ads, check out Crackle and TV.com for viewing on your computers, internet-ready televisions, smartphones and electronic tablets. These lesser-known video streaming companies offer limited choices in television shows and movies for free.
Regardless of which online streaming sites you use, you can enjoy big savings every month. Switch from cable or satellite television to these television viewing options to keep more money in your bank account.
