Comcast
Portland Cable Package Over $80 Monthly, Antenna Alternative Suggested

Shops, Products, Services

In Portland OR area it's $66 for an entry level package eligible for HD, a $10 HD access charge, plus taxes = an 80 dollar plus bill every month and that's for only 1 TV! I encourage all of you to cut the cable/dish cord as I have.

One easy, cost effective way (esp. if you live in a metropolitan area) is to buy a Mohu Leaf antenna (read the great reviews) and a Roku or Tivo Box (or any other streaming box if you don't have apps on your TV). Both Roku (no monthly fee) and Tivo give you access to a very large amount of streaming content, i.e. Amazon, Blockbuster, Hulu Plus, Netflix etc.

The Tivo box enables you to record all the FREE content you get OTA with an antenna. There is a $20 a month fee for a Tivo box (a good interface with lots of features), but it's far, far cheaper than cable/dish.

The best way to stop the Comcast monopoly is to stop using them. With all the technology available, there are several easy, viable, money saving alternatives.
