Cord Cutting and Live Streaming

[stinger608]

This is becoming a very popular thing in the last 2 to 5 years. With more and more streaming apps in the world, more and more people are "cutting the cord" and going with streaming vs cable TV.

For one, with cable, you are limited to what ever the local cable company provides for programming. With so many streaming apps available, there are literally 100's of thousands of options and programs to stream and view.

Many of the most popular are, of course, Netflix, Amazon video, Sling, and YouTube, just to name a couple.

With the streaming becoming so popular, there are hundreds of streaming devices available. Roku and Amazon TV is a couple of the most popular devices. There are also many many Android TV boxes available as well. Beware though,

many of the Android TV boxes are absolute garbage. Some are okay, but many of them are not worth the money they get for them.

With that being said, one of the most popular products is the Amazon TV Stick.

Some of the reasons that the Amazon Fire TV Stick is so popular, is the performance, size, and the price. Now, a little know fact with the Fire Stick, is it can be hacked or "jailbroken" to accept many side loaded streaming apps. Another

popular side load on the Amazon Fire Stick, is Kodi.

This can easily be done and one great resource for tutorials on loading Kodi and many other apps is TroyPoint.

While r/cablecutters has indeed been a big thing, it won't fully pull me back from my Enigma2 satellite box soon (except I need to re-new my sub).

I'd say Netflix has to be the primary streaming service people are dealing with, due to its price (which is increasing in some regions lately) and easy availability on devices. But you have to keep in mind that with a streaming service like Netflix, you're limited to what they can offer - and often times, what Netflix offers is either heavily dramatized documentaries, or garbage movies.

Cable TV is still a thing because of the coaxial connections at houses. Once you go satellite, you can get 1000s of different TV channels. I say this because I've gone towards couple 1000s of channels on my Vu Uno 4k+, and there were more. Now the biggest problem with TV broadcasting is, ads and pointless material. But you get a ton of channels so that's a bonus at least. Live TV also delivers news, if you're into that. You aren't going to get that with Netflix. So yeah, there are some trade offs.
