I am trying to reduce my tv costs and get rid of Spectrum TV here on Maui but keep Spectrum internet and phone services. Is Hulu a good alternative? My Tv viewing is generally limited to ABC,CBS, NBC, PBS, ESPN, and Netflix video mail service. What would be the best Hulu option? Would I need some kind of interface box and how would it be connected? What would be the costs involved Regards Derek Bray Reply
Hi Derek, thanks for reading! Hulu would get you those channels (you can double-check the local networks on Hulu’s website), and it costs $54.99 per month. So if that $54.99 + the cost of internet and phone (without cable) adds up to less than you’re paying now, then you’ll save money by cutting the cord. Reply
Spectrum has become very competitive. The spectrum app lets you watch TV on your smartphone. It has movies on demand, and for what I see you guys paying, Spectrum is charging me 50 dollars per month. Their internet is fastest and their phone are fantastic. There is nothing Hulu can do better than Spectrum. Reply
I am about to cut the cord due to Spectrum services no longer being affordable. After almost 10 year, my cable bill (about $200.00/month) is almost double what it was when we first got the bundle deal. I am opting for Hulu + Live TV and found I needed to purchase a Roku device to show the “Live TV” content on my Sansung 4K TV. This is my free trial week with Hulu, and I am finding it more than compensates for what I currently have on Spectrum TV. The only two channels I will miss is the local Spectrum News channel and the Weather Channel which is good to have incase of any storms or unexpected weather. So far, the Roku and Hulu + Live TV is working great with minimal issues in regards to internet connectivity or network lag. Can watch TV on my computer and mobile devices which increases portability. Most of all, I will be saving a good chunk of change by cutting the cord. Reply
