Cord cutting: The Complete Guide

If you’re a longtime cable or satellite TV subscriber, cutting the cord can be intimidating.
From smart TVs and streaming players to an array of subscription possibilities, there’s a lot to consider before you make the jump. Adding an over-the-air TV antenna to the mix just adds to the potential confusion.
But those choices are also what make cord-cutting great. I’ve been cable TV-free since 2008 and have covered this space closely for well over a decade. Despite what you may hear from naysayers, cord-cutting is still much cheaper than cable if you do it right.
This in-depth guide will walk through the best ways to cut cable or satellite TV, help you become an expert streamer, and optimize your cord-cutting strategy so you’re saving the most money possible. By the end, I hope you’ll be confident enough to say goodbye to your old TV provider.
