Over the past year we've been using Chromecast, Netflix, and more recently Hulu. We decided to try Hulu TV and it's great.... We get all of the channels we want, don't have to record anything because it's all streaming on demand, PLUS we have all of the other older TV content (on demand) PLUS HBO.... For $40 a month.

We get our Internet for free (from our HOA) so.... #winning
I've seen more and more places offering stuff like this. Sling and YouTube both offer similar services. I wonder how many people are doing exactly what you did.

I have a feeling internet access is about to get more expensive.
