Cord cutting resources
One of the things that makes cord cutting so great is that it can be about as complicated or as simple as you’d like. If you’re just looking to save a little cash, you can cancel cable, put up an antenna, subscribe to one OTT service, and dust off your hands. Done! The cord cutting resources below can help.
If you’re a bit more manic about your entertainment options, you can go down the rabbit hole: trying so many OTT services that you have trouble remembering when all your free trials expire, tweaking a media server to make your local collection available anywhere, setting up an OTA DVR, and so on. Don’t fear, we have some places to get even more help and information.
Here’s a full list of our favorite cord cutting resources.
