TV Without Cable: Your Complete Guide to Streaming TV & Over-the-Air Free TV Paperback – September 3, 2015

After reading this great book, I am ready to break away from Cable and STREAM to my hearts content !Book separated each individual component and explained in great detail the pros & cons !I appreciated the plain English writing style, and people of all levels of "Technology" should be able to make a Streaming plan.Thanks James Eldredge !Can't wait till I walk into the cable office and say CANCEL MY ACCOUNT !

Mr Eldredge did an excellent job in researching and composing this book. He verified the information I had before starting this book and took me well above and beyond my current knowledge. A must read for those looking for options other than cable for their entertainment.

...This statement hopefully indicates what I got out of it.- I'm a newbie to tech. (& hate it!) So, what I would have liked was a specific instruction book...AS EXAMPLE:- Here's whats available.- Here's how you choose.- Here's what you do, &/or need to accomplish this......In all fairness, that's probably to much to ask or expect.1st part, explained streaming & 3 ways to access. ...good!Next, the various services available. Here, things started to get a little cloudier, as example; '…no ads - except if/when...'.My biggest Question (that surely showcases my total lack of anything technical) is: HOW do I fulfill the main requirement for hi-speed dsl? Do any of the streaming services provide them? ...or, do I need - as I suspect, a 'different' service?? ..&,which is best, where to look & how to determine which one??

Great information helpful to switch towards switching to streaming and free tv

Book was written/printed in 2015! Ridiculous …. As an example, it listed Netflix as costing $8…. Now it is $22 per month! Old news…..

A good guide for a newbie techie. It can get you up to speed very quickly. Some of the information in this volume is already out-of-day, but I'm sure Mr. Eldredge has more current information (which is presented in concise, easy-to-understand prose) with follow-up information in chapters. Best booklet I've read on the cable-game. Arrrrrrgh those companies. I'm already on the path of creating my own low-cost entertainment viewing universe.

Cable cutters learn about 'over the air TV' very quickly and the book does not expand much beyond some antenna choices. The book has many good suggestions on how to get a large variety of programming over WiFi, both fee and free. The BIG PROBLEM is the most important necessity to get all and any of these is a low cost WiFi providers where the pickings are very slim and definitely makes the book NOT a complete guide.

When I saw the 2015 Edition on the back cover, I started to walk straight over to the trash can. Then, I thought, "I'll Return it." 7-year-old data in today's rapid changes in technology. But, it didn't cost much and may have some value for research.I'll just buy another book and research how current it is first.
