1500.00? How much do you pay for cable and internet? You can save some money, but 1500 a month? Up until recently, I didn't have cable. I just watched Netflix and Amazon Prime via my Roku device on my TV and the online apps on my computer and tablet/phone. You can also stream video via playon with the Roku device and your computer...so if you have DVD's or other videos on your computer, you can view them via the playon app on the Roku device. I have used it a little bit and performance seemed ok. You are installing the playon server software on your computer and the Roku app is the client, so the network is all internal. Hulu is another option. I never really got into the Hulu stuff as much as I did Netflix and Amazon...but some people swear by it. I love my Roku device. Get the $99 one...it has more features and you can even play games on it. It only works with HDMI capable TV's.
Unfortunately, the place I am in the middle of moving to only has Comcast (grr)...so I have cable again...I had to drop my AT&T internet account. I figured if I was going to sell my soul...I may as well go whole hog LOL.

I discovered that I can save over $1,500.00 a month. My question is what device to get? I have a PS3 for Netflix and Amazon Prime. I have Google Chromecast, but I am not impressed with the quality. The sound keeps cutting out. I am looking at a Roku or Apple TV device. What are you all using and can you give me some comments? I am also checking the inter webs and making comparisons.
