[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]one of the previous PP who cut the cord.  We finally started using the YouTube app with our TiVo and it turns out you can pair your TiVo youtube app to your YouTube account and then use your phone/laptop/tablet as a remote to control the YouTube content on the TV screen.  It's great!

We watched some videos for DS last night and then some movie trailers and music videos.  Whatever I wanted to find on youtube I just pulled it up on the youtube app on my iphone and it displayed on the TV.

We are more than fine not having cable.  I still watch Redskins on network TV which I get with my digital antenna.  I watch Saturday college games, watched the World Cup, etc.

Between Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Instant there's very little I can't get.  YouTube adds another fun component.

Anyone can "cut the cord" in 3 steps.

1) Ensure you have a high-speed internet connection if you're going to be using Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Instant video

2) Buy/install digital antenna AND a streaming device (Roku, TiVo, Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire, etc) or have a smart TV with app connectivity built in

3) Connect streaming device to TV and antenna; set up connection to internet, set up apps/connections to streaming devices

Enjoy watching TV![/quote]

If you watch live sports (ESPN, TNT, etc.), this doesn't help.  That is why I don't think most people will cut the cord. [/quote]
