Cable is no longer in my vocabulary.  Streaming devices are the way to go these days.   Netflix is alright, but you quickly get bored with the lack of content.  Apple TV wasn't an option for me because I don't have that kind of money. I currently use a mymatrixtv streaming media player and happy with it so far. Lots of content which is what I look for. ( I typically use it for streaming movies.)  The market is becoming flooded with these android boxes.  Some are pure garbage.  You just have to find the right one for you.
