Canceling TV service this Month. Looking for alternatives.

9news has an App on Roku now so you can stream local news.

Amazon prime and a Roku will get you just about all the content out there. Refurb Rokus are available for $40 and up.

When our contract is up, we plan on looking into a whole house antenna. We have netflix and VUDU and that's more than enough and the free broadcasting will fill in any gaps. We'll still have to pay for internet but overall, it'll be much cheaper.

If you're coming off of a dish then I have an antennae tip.

The previous owners of my house had one so there was a long coax cable running outside my house that connected to the coax network inside. I simply changed it from the side of the house to the roof and connected it to a $50 antennae. Now I get that signal to the living room and the bedrooms and there was almost no effort or complication on my part. If you have the groundwork already in your house don't let it go to waste.

Please advise what some good options are.

For me, it was quitting the entire thing, cold. I've not watched TV since 2006 and repeatedly wish I'd given it up sooner.

This is good advice. Lots of good local channels around the Denver area.

That is the most Boulder thing you've said in quite a while

Been network/cable free since 07 and haven't looked back. We do Netflix and that's it.

Did this for the first 18 years of my life. It's entertainment for me, not an additction. I can go months without it. But for family members, friends, kids etc. It's nice to have, not a necessity, just a luxury.

I have a Roku and pay $9 a month for Hulu. Another $9 a month for Netflix to stream shows and movies. An antenna for local channels.

make sure you get a decent router, too. i changed to a new one this year (AC standard) and new modem (comcast service) and haven't had a hiccup on any streaming on netflix or amazon.
