Cut the cord with ease—everything you need to watch TV at home without the big bill
Considering cutting the cord on your pricey cable bill, particularly as amazing new streaming channels come online? Once you make the decision, you can easily cut the cord and still get access to almost any content you want to watch. Here’s what you’ll need.
TV Antennas
A wireless TV antenna is a very different beast from the ones you used to see towering over backyards back in the day. Today’s antennas are compact and can stick in your window for reliable signal access of local over-the-air TV stations. You can also find more powerful outdoor antennas that can be placed to capture those more elusive broadcast signals.
Having an antenna means you can often get many of your local TV station’s broadcasts for free so you can stay up on what’s happening in your neighbourhood!
Media Streamers
If you don’t have cable and maybe haven’t made the leap to a smart TV, a media streaming device is going to fill in the blanks for all the content you want to watch. From movies, to TV series and even music streaming, a streaming device can open up a world of wireless Wi-Fi connected content for your home. There’s many different platforms and operating systems from Android to Apple, Roku and many more, depending on which system and interface you prefer and what your budget is.
Upgrade your Router
To access wireless data streams for devices like streamers or gaming consoles, you need robust internet. Make sure your home’s Wi-Fi signal is strong by upgrading your router to something that can handle more data, particularly if you’ll be streaming to multiple TVs in the house.
Mesh Networking fills in the blanks
Similarly, if you have Wi-Fi dead spots in the house, a mesh networking set up can help fill in those blanks by placing pucks around the home to capture and share the internet signal much better. Mesh networks make it easier for your devices to catch and hold that Wi-Fi signal, meaning you get faster and more reliable streaming to all your devices.
