I absolutely hate cable tv. I love having it all those channels, but how many of those channels do we actually watch considering how much we pay to get those 800 channels. Yes, I like having those network channels to watch my favorite shows, HBO to watch movies, and ESPN to watch sports, but I really don't need ESPN 8 ("The Ocho"), Lifetime, CSPAN, the Spanish channels (Telemundo), Home Shopping Network, or any of the other 500+ useless channels that are simply a waste.

With the Google Chromecast, you can stream movies and shows using Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu, or whatever app you normally would use. At the end of the day, you'll be saving a lot of money every month.

You'll be happy to get rid of your cable bill and free yourself from the oppression of DishNetworks and/or Comcast.
