people also view cord cutting as a millennial phenomenon cord cutting is a term that means canceling traditional pay tv services like cable or satellite tv t hese cord cutting perceptions are partly true but they don t tell the whole story netflix is just one of many over the top or ott services competing with cable some new ott services even emulate the cable model allowing cord cutters to channel surf just like cable subscribers only at a fraction of the cost and good old fashioned antenna use is making a big comeback as more and more cord cutters are finding that free hd quality over the air tv or ota is easy to access with an antenna and an inexpensive digital tuner these antenna users aren t necessarily young millennials many folks have been enjoying ota broadcasts for years why cord cutting nobody likes paying high cable bills but if you re apprehensive about canceling cable entirely you re not alone a lot of people are cutting the cord these days but it s still a scary idea to some of us cable is expensive but familiar streaming services may seem more complicated and we re afraid that we might lose access to our favorite programs these fears are understandable but you need not worry the reality is that cutting the cord empowers you to choose the content you want saves you money and won t cut off your access to most programs and when you see how the evidence stacks up you might ask why everyone doesn t cut the cord pay less for your content cable prices have gone through the roof and cutting the cord can net you some serious savings according to the leichtman research group pay tv subscribers paid an average of 103 00 per month in 2016 and since cable prices have risen by an average of 5 8 per year over the past two decades we know that the situation is only getting worse by the way inflation has averaged 2 2 over that same span so cable prices are going up faster than inflation but how do streaming services like netflix hulu or hbo now among others stack up pretty well it turns out these streaming services generally cost less than 10 a month streaming cable competitors offer live tv for less than 40 a month and over the air broadcasts nbc cbs univision bbc pbs are completely free with your antenna a tuner and plex it s easy to swap cable for streaming alternatives and save hundreds of dollars each year watch what you want when you want because so many streaming services offer video on demand cord cutters don t have to let the cable companies control their schedules while cable users flip through the channels and complain that nothing is on cord cutters can navigate right to their favorite shows play and pause whenever you feel like it netflix hulu and other ott providers accommodate your schedule on demand streaming services are the ultimate dvrs it s not just when shows play but which shows play with most streaming services you can choose a list of favorites get suggestions based on ratings for programs and hide shows and movies that don t interest you speaking of things that don t interest you you can forget about having to pay for things you don t watch hate sports just don t pay for sports ott services it s as simple as that when you re a cord cutter everything is à la carte no commercials if you re already paying for cable then why are there commercials many streaming services get their revenue from subscriptions not from commercials that means that your viewing time is completely uninterrupted you know that advertising jingle that you hate more than anything you never have to hear it again so when do you get a snack or use the restroom without commercial breaks well whenever you want many streaming services show content on demand so just hit pause and take a break at any time simplify simplify simplify when your content is streamed over the internet you don t need much you ll need an internet modem and a router you have those anyway and perhaps a smart tv or small streaming device like a roku chromecast or apple tv to stream the content to your tv for ota just install a digital antenna connect to your digital tuner and that s it your dvd player you don t need it cable box definitely not piles of dvds your vcr extra cable boxes in other rooms gone gone gone you ll be free of all of that stuff without losing any content and you can even make some of your money back with a yard sale or ebay there are those savings again a cord cutter s best friend get plex now continue getting started for cord cutters sections what is cord cutting cord cutting is a term that means
