Cord Cutters Atlanta

Internet bill too high? Here's how to save Check out this article from USA Today. Many of our customers face the challenge that when they cut their cable TV service, their cable provider/ISP tries to bump of the price of their internet service which you still need to cut the cord. Some of the things I recommend: Look at a 25 Mbps service vs 75 Mbps whih many of the cable operators try and upsell you to. Unless you have 3 or more people watching TV at the same time, 25 Mbps... should be sufficient. Also if you have an option to switch to another provider, check out that provider’s options and make your current provider aware of any deals out there. You might have to switch to another provider to get the best deal. Part of our cord cutter service is to help you look at all of your options and recommend the best provider to meet your needs and get the best price. The article also recommend buying your own cable modem (Comcast and Charter only) and dual-band router to to get the best performance and save an average of $11/month. https://www.usatoday.com//internet-bill-too-hig/429890001/

The best universal remote control Check out this this great article from engadget. The newer Roku sticks can now control the power and volume of many TVs. But it can’t handle a TV with a Home Theater System which many of my customers have on their main TVs (although Roku can handle a TV with a Soundbar). If you want to have a cord cutter solution with a single remote, you’ll need a universal remote control. This article shows some of the best choices. We can include this as an option and set this up for you as part of our cord cutter services. https://www.engadget.com//the-best-universal-remote-contr/

The best Roku features you might not be aware of Check out this great article from engadget. I particularly like #2: HEAR THAT LINE AGAIN WITH INSTANT REPLAY. This is a setting where if you missed some dialog (which happens to me a lot), you can push the replay button on your remote and it will replay the last 10 seconds of content. https://www.engadget.com//the-best-roku-features-you-aren/

The Best Media Streaming Devices Here is a great article from Forbes on the various cord cutter media streaming devices. While most of our customers have the Amazon Fire TV or Roku streaming stick, I am tending the agree with the article’s recommendations to promote the Roku streaming stick. Roku has the most options for every one of your TVs (older TVs, HD and 4K) and also has the most number of content channels out there. Their remote can also control your TV power and v...olume meaning this can truly be a single remote solution. The Amazon Fire TV is still great if you watch a lot of Amazon Prime content and you have a lot of Amazon Alexa powered Echo type devices. Apple TV is the most expensive option but great if you are an Apple fanboy, have a large iTunes library and like their user interface. Part of our cird cutter service if to assess your households’ needs and recommend the best streaming media platform for you. https://www.forbes.com///the-best-media-streaming-devices/
