Internet cable TV: Ditching cable made easy
Category: Internet, Uncategorized
Cable TV's $50-plus monthly cost may be unavoidable for sports fans and news junkies -- but if you just want a good selection of TV and movies, try a combo of these online services.
Netflix
Who it's for: The movie buff
Typical fare: "True Grit," "The African Queen," "Downton Abbey"
Thumbs up: Get instant access to newish movies, sturdy classics, and past seasons of TV series.
Thumbs down: New movies may not be available as quickly as on DVD. Many titles in Netflix's DVD library, which costs extra to use, aren't offered at all. $8/month (streaming video only); netflix.com
Hulu Plus
Who it's for: The TV junkie
Typical fare: "The Daily Show," 37 years of "Saturday Night Live," "Smiles of a Summer Night"
Thumbs up: Catch the full current season of popular network and cable shows, along with archives of past episodes and a smattering of art-house flicks.
