Sure, but explain to my wife and kid. I don't know any grown folks with wife & or kids that don't have cable.

I really don't see it as such a bad deal. How much is just the internet that is good enough to stream all this content if you cut the cord? $50/month? So, for an extra $70, I get a much more efficient/available product at my finger tips? Yes, please.

Well everyone I know already has an Amazon and Netflix account. So that isn't an increase in cost.

Hulu Plus is a $8-9/month and has pretty much every network show on there. Over the air HD is completely free.

So really, cutting the cord only costs about $10 in new costs

If you don't mind paying the extra $800+ every year, that's fine. I do mind. It's a waste of money IMO.

Your wife can figure out how to find all of her shows online. It's not difficult.

As for your kids, if they're young, Netflix, Prime and the multitude of other apps will provide enough content to keep them happy. If they're older, they already know how to do this stuff.
