In recent years, households across the word have taken upon themselves to ‘cut the cord’ as a way of saving money in the face of the rising price of cable TV package costs. Terrestrial cable TV packages often come bundled with innumerable extras you won’t ever use. As such, making the switch to watch cable TV online is a great way of saving money as online cable TV access can be significantly cheaper and tailored to what you actually want and will use. Here are some tips that will help you cut down on costs when watching cable TV online and ensure you only pay for what you need.
Not all packages are created equal
It is incredibly important to remember that not all cable TV online packages are created equally. In fact, there is a considerable degree of variation in terms of what specifically your chosen provider will include in the package you subscribe to. For example, an Amazon Prime subscription includes not just video and cable TV content, but a whole range of media from books to music, and of course reduced rates on shipping through the amazon website. Netflix or HBO, in comparison, are limited to offering only video content without any such added extras. It’s thus important to think about the total package cost not just in terms of video content, but also in terms of the overall package.
Pay for the full year up front
Most online cable TV subscription services will present you with a default option to pay for the service on a monthly subscription basis. However, whilst this might look like an inexpensive option, you should always calculate this on the basis of an annual or bi-annual subscription. When totalled up for the full year it might be significantly cheaper to pay this up-front rather than on a monthly basis.
