Then from there, I had to decide between the three.

At the time Youtube TV wasn’t available where we live so I took that off the list. But unlike cable, none of them add up to crazy amounts. So all of the options have packages that start at about $35 except Sling at $20 and then they go up from there. So here are the services I was looking at, depending on what channels you want will determine what you might want to go with, All of which were more than half to a third of the price of what we were paying for TV and all of these options also allowed for more TVs where cable I had to pay for a box in each room.

Once I got looking what I found were a few options that might work for us that had a lot of the channels that we enjoy as well as the sports channels I would want come football season. We have HTPCs in all of those rooms, game consoles upstairs and down, and a few Nvidia Shield TVs as well. So whatever I picked needed to be flexible and be able to run on multiple platforms. Now I consume a lot of my TV at my desk while working, then a lot in the living room with my wife, but we also have TVs in our bedroom and another big TV in the basement where I can hide during gamedays. So I needed to have access to ESPN and Big10 Network so dropping down to the most basic package with my cable company sadly wouldn’t do the job. Not to mention it gets a lot more complicated when you add in that during the college football season I watch the games as my once a week break away from anything tech/work related. Honestly, I would be able to mostly get by downloading and streaming the shows that we liked but I really didn’t want to go that route. Having the refreshed and original devices around left me a whole list of options when I started looking at how we could cut our costs. Okay, let me preface this with the fact that I had actually had the original Shield TV as well and while I played with the game streaming and GeforceNOW functions a little, when we had cable television I would rarely if ever find myself flipping the TV over to use the Shield. So today I’m going to talk a little about how I dropped cable by using the Shield TV and I’ve been loving it. When we bought a new house though it was finally time to find a better option to save some money and it just so happened that Nvidia had sent out their Shield TV to us and it was sitting unused. What happened was they slowly offered us deals that added additional channels, we started watching shows on those channels and then when the deal went away I would call and tell them I was going to drop it all and they would add even more channels to get me to stay. Fast forward 6 years later and we are spending a fortune and have every channel under the sun. Then eventually we added back a basic package and were okay with that. For years my wife and I dropped cable television simply because we didn’t have the money for it in our budget.
