I looked at Sling, a while back, and to me it seemed like you needed to pay for a list of basic channels, and then could add additional channels ala carte. So when you say that you're using your Roku to stream Netflix, Amazon, and Sling, are you meaning simply that you are using that particular device to stream other services that you pay for on a regular basis?
Right now, wife and I are on the hook for about 180/mo to Time Warner, or Spectrum, or whatever the hell their name is these days. We would like to "cut the cord", along with the high cost. Stand alone high speed internet good enough for streaming cost about 40-50/mo in our area.
If you, or any of the others care to spend a moment and break it all down for me, it would be much appreciated.
I pay roughly a $100 bucks or so apiece for NF & A per year. Sling is $22 a month. Of course we use high speed internet $70 per month. Having internet gives you basic cable as well. These I pay for.
The original bill was $220 per month. So we were paying roughly $2,650 a year. We've shaved that down to about $1300 per year & still have all the channels/programs that I could ask for, and yes, Sling uses a guide.
On top of that Roku offers a plethora of free channels.
