HBO To Offer Service Without Cable Subscription

Is it the beginning of the end of cable TV? Probably not, but the latest move by HBO will only accelerate the trend of content providers offering their programming outside of traditional cable TV packages. HBO just announced that starting next year they will make available their channel via the Internet. Of course, readers of this blog know that I dropped cable TV over a year ago and don't miss it one bit. I have found that with a ROKU device and subscriptions to HULU and Netflix that I can get everything I want on my television. While I am not personally a fan of HBO, I believe this news represents a 'tipping point' in the growth and popularity of Internet TV.

 

ROKU itself offers hundreds of free channels (news, sports, movies, and more). With major networks like HBO added to already available services like Netflix and HULU Plus, dropping cable is becoming more and more of a realistic option. 

For those considering making the move, I have a comprehensive report and video at our premium site ChristianMoneyPlus.com. Most families can easily save more than $1,000 per year by switching to Internet TV.
