Expert Advice - How to Watch March Madness and NBA Playoff Basketball as a Cord Cutter

March 08, 2016

At one time, the only way you could watch live basketball games was through an expensive cable package. With the average cable package hovering at $100 or more, it’s a hefty amount to pay if you’re just interested in watching sports.

Thankfully, there are tons of options nowadays for cord cutters to watch basketball and all types of sports live, without cable TV. The best part is these are all legal methods, so you don’t have to worry about finding a sketchy stream and hoping your computer isn’t overrun with viruses. Here’s a look at your best options.

How I Cut the Cord with Tablo – by Brett, the Smugly Superior Cord Cutter

February 22, 2016

Why did you cut the cord? How much money are you saving each month?
I recently moved and decided I didn't want to pay anyone anything for TV anymore. I didn't plan to stop watching TV - I just wanted to stop paying for it. I was spending close to $150 a month to get programming from a mid-tier satellite package to four TVs. Now I spend $0 a month. I get so excited whenever I think about this that a little pee comes out.

Expert Advice - Securing Affordable Standalone Internet When You Cut the Cord

February 11, 2016

At least a few times a week, I get an email or two asking about internet service. It’s happened so often, in fact, that I added an ISP search engine to my site to help people find internet service deals in their area. The main question?

“How do I save on internet service when I break the bundle?”

Which makes sense, right? You get a discount on internet service when you bundle together with pay-TV and landline. So won’t the cable companies try and get their money back when you cut cable and signup for broadband? 

Of course they will. But the truth is that you can still save money and get the internet service you need.
