While there’s no sugarcoating recent price hikes, cord-cutting only counts as a failed experiment if you ignore all of the good it’s done—and is still doing—for the state of television.

While YouTube TV and FuboTV shoulder some blame for underpricing their services from the start, the real fault lies with TV networks that are unwilling to break up their channels.

When you ditch cable or satellite TV, it’s possible to set up a plan in which you’ll never have to sit through commercial breaks again.

While AT&T has said that it’s ”all in” on HBO Max, the service seems more like a half-measure for a company that’s already taken too many of them in the cord-cutting era.

Even in a world of boundless streaming music options, there’s something to be said for just setting the TV to a musical genre you enjoy and letting it play, especially with a nice soundbar or surround-sound system hooked up.

While streaming video has a lot of things going for it, watching TV offline isn’t one of them. That’s what makes PlayOn’s new Android TV app so intriguing.

After a year and a half of build-up and several delays, HBO Max is here.

Like it or not, you’re probably stuck with your cable company even if you’ve cut the cord on pay TV. That doesn’t mean saving money on your cable bill is a lost cause.

Rather than trying to save the old business model, TV networks are accelerating its decline through even higher prices, which they’ll use to build their own a la carte alternatives.

Late last month, SiliconDust took a leap of faith and started taking orders for a new ATSC 3.0 HDHomeRun TV tuner on Kickstarter, the first of its kind.
