I was looking at my latest cable bill and realized it’s been a year since I bought my Apple TV (4th Generation) and cancelled my Cable TV subscription and switched to my Apple TV and Direct TV Now setup.
I will say in the the beginning I was having issues with server and connection errors with Direct TV Now, but the service has been greatly improved over the last year and the interruptions now are minimal.
At first I was concerned about watching live TV sports using a streaming service, but now I really don’t see any major difference between my cable service and Direct TV now except that I am saving over 70.00 dollars a month.
I now have all my local channels and have even picked up some new ones without a service increase. Unlike my cable provider who was raising my subscription rates and taking channels away.
I miss having a remote where I could select a channel by number without scrolling thru all the channels using the Apple TV touchpad, but for the monthly savings I will gladly put up with it.
I just wanted to follow up and give a review of my experience with cutting the cable cord. I have saved over 870.00 dollars the first year alone and those savings have been put towards my property taxes and when your retired on a fixed income, it all helps.
I couldn’t be happier making the decision to cut the cable cord and I am enjoying the rewards of not only saving money, but having more channels and not missing anything as far as picture quality.
