My Cox cable bill has been slowly rising over the course of time. It finally reached $95/mo. - and I have one of the cheapest packages they offer.
I always said if I could find a cheap streaming service that offered Discovery and History channels I'd jump on it. Well, DIRECTV NOW has finally created an app for the Roku streaming box. I got their cheapest package which is a 60+ channel, $35/mo. service. Not only did I get Discovery and History, but BBC America, as well! Now I can watch Doctor Who!
BTW, folks. This is the "early roll-out" of this service and you can get a promo code to get one free month of service instead of the usual seven days.
So far I'm liking what I'm getting. One thing to remember, though. You have to have an over-the-air antenna to get the local channels. I put an HD antenna in my attic last year for emergencies so I'm good.
