Banks for You!

How much do you pay for cable television these days? If you’ve got a DVR and high definition stations, chances are you’re paying somewhere around $80 to $90 per month for your television portion of your cable bill (and more if you have high speed cable internet, too). This luxury item is running you $960 to $1080 each year. If your budget is getting a little tight, you might consider canceling the cable television bill and watching your shows through less expensive, or even free, means.

Movies

If you’re not attached to any particular television show and just like to watch movies or whatever catches your interest at the time, you could save money by borrowing movies from the library instead of paying for cable television. You can even get many television shows on DVD – typically at the end of each show season a DVD is released with all the episodes from that season.

For $9 per month, you can “watch instantly” as many movies from Netflix.com as you would like. You can watch them on your computer, on your laptop, from a television connected to your computer or laptop, or through one of the growing number of devices which can stream movies instantly from Netflix – including the Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii.

Television Shows

If the thought of canceling cable and missing all of your favorite shows has you in a panic, you still have some options. Canceling cable doesn’t mean you have no way to see the latest episodes of your shows. As long as you have an internet connection, you can still access almost everything you can get on cable – for free.

Before you decide you don’t want to huddle around your computer monitor to watch television shows – keep in mind that you can connect most newer televisions to a computer as a monitor. When you find a show to watch, it will send it to the television instead of the monitor. This can be done with a simple s-video cable in many cases.
