Would be cord cutters might stick with cable TV, because they
find it difficult to make a decision or find it difficult to
change. There are so many options that it can seem overwhelming,
so it seems easier to overpay than make the change. Many are
finding that regular cable, in addition to high cost, offers the
worst picture quality due to compression the signals to get so
many channels on the wire. Even antenna TV offers substantially
better picture quality and it is free after the purchase of an
antenna.
Considerations for
cutting the cord include the 4 C's - Cost, Channels,
Commercials, and Complexity. I'll go through each with some
questions. Cost is obvious. Can you afford what you are paying?
Do you want to pay less? How much less is worth your while? Are
you considering a life change that might make you move and break
your contract (and pay a termination fee)? Is a long term
contract a good idea?
Which channels do you
consider 'must have', because your favorite shows are on them?
Out of the hundreds of channels most people regularly watch less
than 18.
How complex or
complicated will it be to change? Can I do it myself? Will I
need to hire an expert and how much will it cost?
Do I mind watching
commercials? Do I hate commercials? Many cable TV alternatives
offer premium packages that offer programs without commercials.
There is a website that
can help answer many of those and more questions. It has the
latest offerings and you answer a few questions, then it narrows
down the offerings for you. https://www.suppose.tv/tv
Incidentally, Spectrum
has decided to offer ala cart selection, where the subscriber
can select up to ten additional channels (from a list) in
addition to the standard set of channels. Sounds like the
ultimate, have it your way TV. For an additional fee, there are
even more premium channels that can be added individually.
