The phrase “Cutting the Cord” refers to delivering TV over the Internet (Streaming) rather than from a cable company package. There are many streaming services, among them YouTube TV, SLING, Hulu TV, Apple TV and Amazon Fire (TV or Stick), that allow you to view many of the stations and programs available on Cable or via Dish/DIRECTV using an Internet connection.
In a recent item in his newsletter “Cord Cutter Weekly”, tech journalist Jared Newman discussed a new website, MyBundle.TV which allows you to enter your zip code, and select from a list of TV channels and programs you are interested in. It then displays a ranked listing of the streaming services available in your area.
