Moving from Satellite TV

May 1 2011, 2:21am

When I moved into my house a couple years ago I decided to go back to Dish Network from using Cox cable for my television service. Though since I have gone back to school I dont watch tv as much as I use to, so really cant see paying what I have been for programming. I have been using Netflix for a while and have been happy with it, so started to conceder going all internet for my tv service. After looking around and doing some research I ordered a Roku box to try out. I went ahead and got a subscription to Hulu also to have access to more current shows. I have to say after a week of use I have decided to drop the Dish Network and go all internet. Even my teenage daughter is happy with it. Cost wise it is great, the Roku boxes I bought cost me $60.00 and $80.00 each, the subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu cost me about $20.00 a month, so a big savings over the $76.00 a month I was paying for the Dish Network service. Though Dish network is getting me one last time before they let me go, they are charging me $15.00 for each set box I am returning to them, so it will cost me $30.00 to get them out of my hair, but after that I am free of them. I do have to say that going internet all the way might not work for some people, if you have to keep right up to date on any shows it probably isnt a way to go, but if you usually watch a few days behind original airing, then it might work out for you.
