I live in Bronx, NY and have cablevision. We have the Basic/Family/Silver package for the TV, regular optimum voice, regular optimum online. We pay a total of 0 a month. I’m thinking of getting the Netflix cablebox instead where you can watch whatever you want from your TV for month or whatever it is. Problem is that from a mathematical/financial standpoint, I personally don’t feel its too big of a difference.
My Current Monthly Bill (rounded off amounts):
Optimum Voice =
Optimum Online =
iO Silver Package =
Cable Box =
Tax =
So let’s say I was to downgrade from Silver package to family cable for . My monthly bill would be 6. Now combine netflix and thats like 4, only a difference. So I’m wondering if its really worth going through all that trouble of buying the Netflix cablebox and all that. I mean its not too big of a difference even though the pros of it are extremely good (watching what you want).
The only way I can see this working is if I downgrade even lower to Broadcast Basic cable for (I think it is). But that would be getting rid of some channels that my family like such as the music channels, TNT, AMC, etc. Any suggestions?
kne9999,
I didn’t know Netflix has actual channels?? Hmmm, what other channels do they have? I just tried googling the lineup but can’t find it.
