Since 2010, TV broadcasts have started hitting cheaper (and even free) "wire-cutting" services (SFD / Subscription Video on Demand) such as Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, iTunes, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video.
More and more people are realizing that they can get more of the content they want often at a better price, using more modern user interfaces, with fewer commercials and commitments.
In addition to ordering or downloadable content, there are now many services that offer live and local content in your living room, in your pocket, and practically anywhere you go.
With so many services to choose from it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. I have personally used PlayStation VO (PS VO), Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Now, Voptv, and YouTube TV, and we would like to provide you with an inside guide to understand the pros and cons of each so that you can decide which service is right for you.
Why did you cut the rope?
Many may wonder why wire cutters have become so popular. Why is it different from conventional TV? There are three reasons you really meet: price, user experience, and commitment.
Times and technology are changing rapidly, and so are the ways we find and display media content. It only makes sense that the way we consume live TV content has to change as well.
With traditional TV providers, you will pay a lot of money to use the service and this price can change at any time. In addition, you will often be locked into a contract with this provider.
With wire laying services you have a wide range of packages often available starting at as little as $ 40 per month without having to worry about your price being raised after the introductory period.
User experience
By cutting the cord you no longer need a cable set top box or DVR as many user interfaces feel more responsive and modern. Options such as DVR Cloud make your recorded content available anywhere, and most services offer a wide range of options on demand often included in your plan. Additionally, you can usually access the content using mobile apps or digital media players such as Apple TV, Roku, Chomecast or Amazon Fire Stick.
