Cutting Cords andStreaming Media Boxes
The debate concerning cutting the cord and go the streaming way or stick to the cord is an ongoing one. There are several pros and cons to each and the discussion may oscillate between the two. However, sometimes in any discussion, there is always a clear winner at the end. Let’s see where this one heads.
Pros of Sticking to the Cord – The Cons of Streaming
There are no compromises that you have to make when you are still connected to the cord. All your favorite TV channels and shows are available right there and then and you do not have to wait for it to be available for streaming. Not to mention bearing with the spoilers in between. For those who wait for the whole season to be uploaded, can come across spoilsports who babble out the plot without care or consideration!
Sometimes what you want to watch takes time to be available on a host of streamingoptions and/or not available at all, even after searching and sifting through various avenues. Rights are sometimes not available to streaming sites and so you miss out on something you could watch on cable TV. Although Cable TV may be a bit more expensive comparatively at the moment, you have to see where the streaming rush is headed. In a few months’ time even, the cost of streaming may be as much as that of cable – so is it really worth it at the end?
For diehard news and sports freaks, cutting the cord would be the most challenging of all. For now, not many streaming channels allow for live coverage of either sports or news channels. Waiting for those to be available on streaming sites would be excruciating to say the least.
Cons of the Cord
YOU SAVE MONEY! Yep! Although sometime in future streaming MAY be equivalent in terms of cost, for now you gain major savings by cutting the cord. For those who only watch specific shows and do not settle for anything less, streaming is a good option of true dedication (and saves you time).
Pros of Going Cordless – Streaming Media Box the Freedom You Never Had
All in all, if you decide to go cordless and go the streaming route, there may be restrictions as to where you can watch your favorite shows. As some streaming sites only allow you to watch with internet access, some only on your handheld devices through an app and other such limitations that may mar your TV watching experience. However, if you have astreaming media box, it allows you the freedom to watch any streamed show in the comfort of your lounge on your big flat screen!
Although you may have to wait a bit for the show to be available, however, you can watch the show anywhere and at any time at YOUR comfort. You are in no fear of “missing” the show due to commitments elsewhere and can simply stream it at your convenience. Watch one watch all, you are not bound to waiting for the next episode to be aired to know what’s next.
HAPPY STREAMING TO YOU!
