re: "Cutting the cable cord"........

Cable is still the best most reliable TV and internet unless you are lucky enough to be in one of the fiber optic areas. Our family enjoys watching current/live TV shows including live sports telecasts. If you live near a city you can probably get by with an HD antenna and the major networks. If you are more technically oriented there are options like sling TV for distributing limited TV programming/streaming to multiple TV's/devices throughout your home. Sling advertises that you can watch up to 65 channels with their add-on options 5/mo. bucks each plus 20/mo. for their basic package: LINK Here's a review on CNET for sling TV: LINK Many of the solutions on the Tech board for live/current television often boil down to using a parent's login for various subscription services. In our case we ARE the parents.
