You probably know that here at Chez Frugal Girl, we dont like to spend a lot of time glued to the TV screen Honestly, the computer screen is much more tempting to meHowever, we do like to watch TV sometimes and as you might guess, were not big fans of paying a cable TV bill. So, we use a few alternative services. Mr. FG is solely responsible for researching, purchasing, and installing all of this stuff, and Im having him fact check this post so I get it all right for you dont do techie stuff around here except for blog related things. Im blissfully content to let him handle it all. Roku. Ok. So, one of the main tools we use to get content to our TV is our Roku Box. Roku is a leetle box that allows you to stream content straight to your TV. If youve been streaming content to your small screened laptop, this will open up whole new vistas for youYou can buy a Roku Box, for between 4. This is obviously a huge advantage over cable TV, which sucks money from your bank account every month. The Roku interface has a bunch of channels that are completely free, so if youre not subscribed to a service like Netflix, you can still access a lot of streaming content like news channels, Pandora, Chow, Flixster, Disney. Mr. FG recommends thenowhereman channel and theres a great list on Wikipedia. Netflix. We do have a Netflix streaming account though, and Id highly recommend it. For 7. 9. 9 a month, you get unlimited Netflix streaming movies, TV shows, childrens show, documentaries, and more. Now, the Netflix streaming library isnt nearly as extensive as their DVD rental libraryif you want a newly released movie, youre probably going to be out of luck if you want to stream it. But if you dont mind watching things that have been out for a while, theres lots to choose from. Our kids use this service way more than Mr. FG and I do, actuallythey love to watch Fat Albert, Cake Boss, Myth. Busters, and Shaun the Sheep Shaun is awesome, you have to admitMr. FG and I have really enjoyed the documentaries offered on Netflix streaming. Weve watched documentaries on nature, adventurous living like the one about people who bike from Banff, CA, to Mexico, the educational system, and the food system. And weve barely scratched the surface of whats available. If youre worried about the selection on Netflix streaming, never fear You can sign up for a free one month trial and youll have plenty of time to browse around and see if theres enough to keep you happy. If you want more content than whats offered on Netflixs streaming services, for an additional 7. DVD library, and once youve got that, the sky is the limitpretty much anything you could want is available, including things that have been recently released. Even if you pay for both services each month, your bill will only be 1. And that 1. 5. 9. TV. Amazon StreamingPrime. Another option is to stream content from Amazon. If youre an Amazon Prime member, you can get some streaming content free, or you can pay a few dollars to download shows and movies. If you dont watch a lot of TV, this could be a better option for you than Netflix, but if you watch more than a few shows a week, Netflix is definitely going to save you money. You can try a free Amazon Prime 3. Day Trial to see if this would be worth it for you. We LOVE our prime membershipthe convenience of free shipping, plus the streaming are fabulous and well worth the 9. Broadcast TVWe do still get regular broadcast TV as wellthis is free in the U. S. All you need is an antenna, and possibly a digital converter box, depending on the sort of TV you have. Im not very technically inclined, so Ill just refer you to this post that explains the process very well. Once again, though, its the sort of thing where you buy a little equipment and then youre set for the foreseeable future. So much better than a monthly bill. One thing I really like about having Roku and Netflix instead of cable is that you have to be a little more intentional about your TV watching than youd be otherwise. With a 1. 80 channel cable lineup, its really easy to sit down and mindlessly channel surf, and thats a big time suck. With the streaming service, though, you have to browse and select what you want to watch, so its not nearly as tempting to bounce around between a bunch of shows. This helps make sure you dont waste your leisure time. I also appreciate that there are no commercialswhen you watch an episode of, say, Myth Busters, its 1. Myth Busters. This saves time and reduces our exposure to advertising, both of which are great things in my book. So We use Netflix streaming and DVD servicesan antenna and digital converter for broadcast TVI know this setup wouldnt work for everyone, but it definitely meets our needs. I hope I explained everything in an understandable manner here. If I didnt, ask away in the comments, and Ill get Mr. FG to answer your questions And if any of you have additional frugal TV watching tips, do share by leaving a comment.
