  1. Alternatives to cable on Cutting the Cord? Time Warner Loses 184,000 TV Subscribers In One Quarter · · Score: 1

    I cut the cord about 5 years ago. I'm using a Boxee TV device with my antenna. It picks up local broadcasts and connects to my HDTV via HDMI. It also has Netflix/Hulu/Vudu/Vimeo built in. As an added bonus, it has an app that allows you to use Plex so you can stream your movie collection via wifi or ethernet. Boxee got bought by Samsung and they shut it down, but you can still pick one up for 50-100 bucks on Amazon or Ebay. I'm looking for another solution down the road once this device is obsolete though. I've seen Tivo come out with the Roamio which does essentially the same thing, but requires a subscription for the DVR.
