This TR Family has a tendency to end up at the finish line well after most people are already celebrating.  We take out time.  We wait until we are ready.  We are methodical and like nothing better than closely examining all aspects of any decision.

So it is only this year (2014) that we join the vast majority of our friends in saying goodbye to cable TV.  We couldn’t be happier with our change to internet TV via Netflix.  And for those that are still debating the switch, consider the following:

  • We now have an extra $75 per month.  Seventy Five dollars.  It is a ton of money for our budget conscious family.
  • You will never have to watch another commercial.
  • You aren’t tied to any viewing schedule.
  • There is no contract.
  • You can set up separate lists for each member of the family, making it easier for each person to find an enjoyable and appropriate selection.

 

We have had a very positive experience moving to Netflix.  But it might not be for everybody. We suppose that if you are sports obsessed, you might not be happy with it.  Netflix doesn’t offer “live” programming.

Also, since using Netflix there’s always something you like on TV, this means you can’t use ‘there’s nothing good on’ as your primary reason to turn the TV off and do something else.  So you may need to find new reasons to limit TV time for your family or yourself.  We suggest a simple: “That’s enough TV for now, let’s do something else.  Your shows will still be available later.”

Give Netflix a try.  You can always go back to cable.  But we bet you won’t!
