There’s two things we all love: watching TV and saving money.
In this post, I’ll outline the top four ways I’ve found to save serious money by becoming a cord-cutter. To get started, you’ll need a streaming device – our ultimate player is the Roku Ultra with crystal clear 4K and a voice remote. But whatever your budget, there’s a Roku device that’s perfect for you.
CUT YOUR CABLE BILL
Cable TV adds up fast. On top of basic service, I was also paying extra each month for premium channels, not to mention the cost of renting my cable box (more on this later). What’s worse, I rarely watched a majority of the channels I was paying for.
Many people think that if they want local and live TV, cable is their only option. This is definitely not the case. The Roku platform has several live TV services including fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling, YouTube TV and more. Their pricing is simple, with no hidden fees or contracts, and most of the services offer a Cloud DVR option.
Is free live TV your jam? You’ve got to check out our Live TV Channel Guide. It provides easy access to loads of live TV entertainment, all in one place. Including news, sports, kids and family entertainment and more on over 200 live linear channels.
To open and browse the guide, turn on your Roku device and find the “Live TV” item on your home screen menu, or find it within The Roku Channel (aff).
FREE ENTERTAINMENT
My favorite kind of entertainment! The Roku Channel (aff) offers thousands of movies and TV episodes available at no cost. The selection refreshes every month, so there’s always something new to watch. There are even Roku Originals, like my personal fave, Reno 911! Defunded.
Finding free shows is easy, the home screen of every Roku device includes Featured Free –a handpicked selection of free movies, in-season episodes, and classic favorites from top channels.
Also, there are a bunch of channels you can access at no cost. Finding them is simple – just head to the Free…
