Classmate: Cutting the Chord


Cutting the Chord was a topic that stood out to me tremendously because I still remember the day that me and my family went from wired to wireless television sets. It was when I was around 8 years old. Me and my dad went to best buy with my uncle Tim where both of them were overly excited to get a new tv for our house. 

Cutting the Chord is a term essentially used when someone gets rid of their cable boxes and joins wireless television which holds an unlimited amount of programs. These programs have digital terrestrial tv , internet protocol tv, and satellite tv. Digital terrestrial is basically television transmitted from the radio, Internet protocol is when tv programs are streamed through the internet, and satellite tv is literately tv through a satellite. 

Roku is probably the most efficient and popular streaming service on the market, and might be the best bang for your buck. They sell physical Roku HDMI plug-in chips that connect straight to your tv for around $40. Roku offers 350+ free live streaming platforms which holds movies, tv shows, live tv, sports, apps, and really anything you are interested in. In 2014, Roku started created Roku tv's which are television sets that already have Roku built in to the tv. This created a whole new market where they decided to sell different sized television sets with different offers that best suit the customers needs and able to meet their personal satisfactions. 

Youtube tv is a streaming service subscription that has changed the ball game for a lot of live television users. With youtube tv, you are given the luxury of streaming live and local sports, news and shows. Youtube TV has complete local network coverage in over 98% of US television households. 

This really has changed the television industry tremendously with so many people "cutting the chord" in todays society, it really is the best option for television users. The advertising industry benefits greatly from this, and with bigger payments to the streaming services, you can have those ad times be cut down some, allowing both parties to benefit from screen time.
