Viena no atkārtotām tēmām lasītāju komentāros un viena, mums jāatzīst, ka mēs neplānojām redzēt šādu izplatību, vai tas bija to cilvēku skaits, kuriem bija pārtraukta kabeļa pārraide HD raidījumos. Fantasm raksta:
I have a triple HD antenna array, mounted on an old tv tower, each antenna facing out from a different side of the triangular tower. On tope of the tower are two 20+ year old antennas… I’m 60 miles from toronto and get 35 channels, most in brilliant HD… Anything else, comes from the Internet… Never want cable or sat again…
Grants izmanto straumēšanas pakalpojumu kombināciju un, tāpat kā Fantasm, izdodas ielādēt HD saturu ar jauku antenas iestatījumu:
We use Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, Crackle, and others on a Roku as well as OTA on a Tivo Premier. The Tivo is simply the best DVR interface I have ever used. The Tivo Netflix application, though, is terrible, and it does not support Amazon Prime. Having both boxes makes it easy to use all of the services.
Things we really miss from satellite: Discovery Channel, Science Channel, History Channel, BBC America (OK only really Top Gear) and Cartoon Network. There is no shortage of things to watch, but there are a few things we want to see that we cannot. The bill is enough less, though, that it is worth it.
The closest city is only about 60,000 people, and that is almost 20 miles away, but I still get over 40 channels from 4 different states with a really big antenna, some of them from 109 miles away.

My family cut the cable almost 2 years ago and we haven’t looked back. I have a roof mounted antenna and get 13 channels OTA. We use a Roku for Netflix, Youtube (was able to get the private channel before Roku shut it off) and HBOGo in the bedroom and use a Wii for Netflix in the living room. Netflix provides plenty of kids shows for our children. We made this decision because I was unemployed and couldn’t justify the $70/month for TV. The only thing I miss cable for is the live sporting events.
Lasot komentārus, viena lieta kļūst arvien skaidrāka: starp digitālo pārraižu ieviešanu pa gaisu un straumēšanas interneta video avotiem, mazāk cilvēku nekā jebkad agrāk izjūt vajadzību saglabāt 100 ASV dolāru + kabeļtelevīzijas pakas. Iet uz visu diskusiju pavedienu, lai iegūtu vairāk komentāru.
