I use a 20 antenna from Target for local and network channels (and a lot of foreign language programming).

I have Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime accounts.

I watch those on the TV via the Wii, or hook up laptop w/a HDMI cable, depending on which room I'm in. Sometimes I just watch on my laptop or Kindle Fire.

You can get Verizon internet in Alexandria (I have it and I live there), and just pay the internet fees, no router charge.

We have this too, it was $75 at costco 3 years ago so probably much less now. We have comcast and when we called to cancel cable they quoted internet only service as $5 MORE per month. We have the absolute lowest cable package (which actually includes free HBO) it is $85 per month.


Where do you live and do you have enough bandwidth for streaming properly?

City of Alexandria
Yes, we can have two devices on wifi and stream from Netflix/amazon

This is our package:
Blast! Plus Include Digital Economy, HBO, Streampix with Digital Converter and Blast! Internet-$69.99 +$8 modem rental and taxes


Buy a modem!! You are paying $96/year to rent a modem from Comcast.

I have a Roku box (about $35?) and stream through Amazon. I used to stream through Netflix, too, but found I wasn't watching it much, so let that lapse.
