Avoid the Cable TV Trap

If you’re feeling trapped by Cable TV, you’re not alone. Many consumers end up taking the same route. There’s nothing on TV so we decide to upgrade our cable TV package. But are we really getting more? More often than not, the result is access to more channels that have the same programs.

To be able to get premium cable content like HBO, Showtime, Bravo and Movie Channels for instance, customers have to upgrade their cable package yet again. The typical introductory offer for these upgraded packages is usually quite attractive. Unfortunately, customers must subscribe to a lengthy contract to qualify for the introductory price.

After a short time; however, the regular monthly price kicks in and customers realise they are paying a small fortune for their television access.

What Can be Done?

The best way to not get stuck by the cable TV packages is to look for options. Up until recently, there weren’t many to choose. But with the growing popularity of streaming, customers now have a great alternative.

By reducing an existing cable TV package to the minimum and using a Streaming TV Box for everything else, consumers can ultimately save thousands of dollars.

All of the premium content that would require a higher tier cable package is available for free on streaming. This includes all the movies you could wish for plus a full library of current television programming.
