How To Watch Your Favorite TV Shows For The Cheapest Price

With the 2015 spring TV season upon us, new television shows are premiering in the next few month. But with cable bills on the rise, watching your favorite TV shows can take a toll on your monthly budget, especially if you watch only a handful of the many channels for which you’ve subscribed.

Luckily, there’s a number of ways to experience your TV shows at a cheaper price and they don’t require you to depend on landline cables connected to your home. This post discusses the ways in which you can watch your favorite shows without paying expensive cable bills and stay connected with world’s best entertainment.

Here’s what you can do:

Get an antenna

While the idea of using an antenna may seem antiquated these days, you can buy a decent indoor antenna for $40 to $60 and watch local stations in high-definition. To find what channels the antenna can receive and what are your options, just enter your zip code on the webpage called antennaweb.org. With this option, after your initial investment, the channels are free to watch, but you would have to settle without shows that are not on your local network.

Consider Blockbuster access

Total Access provided by Blockbuster is a monthly subscription that enables TV viewers to rent DVDs at a store or my mail. It is $9.99 a month for one disc at a time, $14.99 a month for two discs at a time, and $19.99 a month for three discs at a time. Users can also pay $1.99 to $4.99 a month to download or stream movies. The service provider claims that they have more new content that streaming sites such as Netflix. The subscription, however, can get expensive than other options.

Leverage advanced satellite technology

Don’t miss out on entertainment just because you’re unsatisfied with your cable bills or you live in an area where you get limited service. Companies like DIRECTV utilize advanced satellite technology. If you visit their site, you’ll see that the option is available in 100% of US households. So whether you live in New York or in any other city in the US, all you need to watch your favorite shows is a clear view of the sky. Some offerings include packages of On Demand titles that can be viewed instantly, and hottest blockbusters can be seen on premium movie networks.

Look into streaming subscriptions

There’s Sling TV by Dish satellite TV company. This service provides you a package of 10 channels that can be streamed on multiple devices, and include names like CNN, Disney, ESPN, Food Network, and ESPN2. The package costs just $20 a month. The other, and more expensive option, is Netflix. It has been purported as the best place to start for streaming favorite TV shows, and the service has its own original content. Price is $9 a month or $108 a year.

Buy episodes

Services like Amazon and Google Play let you buy entire seasons, and you may also get a discount if you buy in bulk. Also, there is an option to choose between standard definition and high definition. The great thing about this option is that episodes can be accessed as soon as they are there, and there are no commercials. However, it can get more expensive to buy episodes than other options.
