Thinking of “cutting the cord”?

Or have you already “cut the cord” and returned the last piece of equipment back to the cable or satellite company?

There’s so much out there, what do you watch now?

Depending on what you like to watch and what you need, there are a few things you may want to consider:

1. Check how fast of an internet speed you’ll need by consulting your local internet service provider (ISP).

2. Do you have DVD and Blu-ray discs? If you digitize your physical media, you could set up a home media server to play on your TVs and devices on your network.
