Cutting the cord does not refer to not paying for any services such as Netflix or Disney, it means that you are not using traditional cable or satellite TV. I never in my life had cable, but used to have satellite TV until maybe 10 or so years ago but even then it was basically just a second dish and receiver on my parent's account. My wife and I now have Netflix, Disney and Apple TV and since we have an Amazon Prime subscription we also sometimes watch something via the Prime Video app. If you are mostly interested in movies and TV shows I think having Netflix and Disney is a really good start and depending on where you are, you may get a bunch of local channels if you buy a good TV antenna which is a relatively small one-time investment.
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of GS Sent: November 6, 2021 3:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: TV subscriptions Howdy all, I cut the cord quite a while back – I think it was four or five years ago. I have been, and still am, satisfied with getting my news and vital information without traditional tv. Nevertheless, I am revisiting this. I am now starting to feel isolated. I want to find a provider that is the most accessible from iOS and Windows. I have reflexively registered a seven day trial from fubotv.com or fubo.tv. I see all this discussion of shows and movies and just think I need to keep up with stuff. I know there have been many discussions related to tv and movie providers here. I largely ignored everything because I was convinced that I had no interest in paying for something I didn’t need. I can search the archives but things are changing so I want to get the latest perspectives. Yeah, Netflix is possible and I know I should probably just realize that it is something I should just accept and pay for. Please let me know if there is a service that is really great with regard to guide information, content selection, DVR, etc. I am a Verizon internet subscriber so would likely be easily persuaded to use them if an app/browser-based interface is good and I could get a discounted price compared to some of the other services. Ideally, I would like to get access to local tv, local tv from other localities, all cable channels, Netflix and other content creators, Amazon, etc. For example, anything I could get if I subscribed to “cable” tv. I am sending this prior to trying the fubo iOS app. I have only used the browser-based version with Chrome and Windows with JAWS. I would really appreciate constructive discussion or direction to information that is relevant to the current state of app/website accessibility. Thanks.
