Its Mr. Frugalwoods here, making a rare appearance as author. Im usually your trusty behind the scenes tech guy, but today I want to share our strategies for securing gratis TV. Frugal Hound guarding the living room, where the TV residesHold on, you dont have cableYep. Dont have it. Never have and probably never will. Were a cable TV executives worst nightmare. But fear not, fair tube viewer, Mrs. FW and I do watch TV. Its just that its the free kind thats delivered over the internet. And no, were not sailing the frightful and dangerous pirate seas unwise since Frugal Hound is afraid of boats. This is the totally legal, totally free kind of internet video content. And, its also the 0 per month plan after the initial start up costs, which are minimal. They key to making this work comes in two parts personal philosophy and good old fashioned electronics. Change Your Channel Needs. If you just have to see a particular show, then going without cable AND without piracy is going to be tricky. We can watch broadcast TV with our rabbit ears, though we rarely do, so anything we watch has to be freely available online. And were not talking about paid online sources such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu Plus. We used to have an Amazon Prime account and while it was nice to have all those shows, we decided it wasnt worth the 1. Our free internet TV comes mostly from two sources You. Tube and PBS. You. Tube has all sorts of great content. Tons of amazing British shows like Grand Designs and Escape to the Country are available, with scores of back seasons. And theres a whole new crop of made for You. Tube channels that provide both entertainment and education. The amount of machining knowledge Ive gained from watching Keith Ruckers channel is unquantifiable but I digress. And big name shows often have You. Tube content too. HBOs Last Week Tonight posts most of their shows directly to You. Watch Big Hero 6 Free Online. Tube. Who needs HBO PBS has an amazing internet presence with astoundingly high quality shows. Frontline, Nova, American Experience, Downton Abbey, the Woodwrights Shop we could only watch PBS and still have more TV than we have time for. Watch Less TVAnd that brings up the other mental switch needed to make a cable less life work watch less TV. I think wed get bored and frustrated with the amount of video available for free if we watched it all the time. But since we generally watch maybe 3. TV a night, we always have more than enough tantalizing options to view. And, I just realized that we havent actually watched any TV since last Friday, so I guess its often less than that. As with most things in life, wed rather be hiking. For us, watching less TV is equal parts frugal and a general life choice. We only have a finite numbers of hours in our lives and we dont want to look back and realize we spent a ton of them in front of the tube. Plus, since we insource most things in our lives, were constantly busy with one project or another around the house, which leaves little time leftover for TV viewin. But since TV isnt something we wanted to eliminate entirely we do like us our Friday night pizza and TV date nights, finding a way to maintain this avenue of entertainment for 0 is a key frugal weirdo strategy. Use the Right Hardware. While we source our content from the ol internet, we dont view our shows on a computer screen. Like most folks, we enjoy kicking back on the couch while watching a decently sized screen. So how do we get PBS on demand and You. Tube on our sweet 9 year old 3. LCD TV Our TV chilling on its Craigslist stand, next to a Craigslist chair, below a Craigslist valve wheel turned wall art. Via the most magical little box Ive ever come across the Roku. The Roku, which is slightly larger than a deck of cards and at 6. TV content we could ever dream of from the internet. There are free apps for both You. Tube and PBS, which makes it really easy to select and play content. Since theres no monthly fee or ongoing maintenance cost for the Roku, it truly is a one time expense of 6. TV needs. The trick to making this a seamless solution is to connect your You. Tube account to your Roku. This allows you to do a couple of freakin neat things Your watchlist on the You. Tube web interface synchronizes with the Roku watchlist. This means that you can use your laptop to easily build a queue of videos you want to watch on your TV. Its so much easier to discover content on the web vs. Roku, so this is a tremendous usability improvement. You can cast a You. Tube video from your phone to the TV. This is a tad more gimmicky, but still dang fun. You just start watching a video on your phone, and then you can select to send it to your Roku which You. Tube knows about since you synced the two together. Your You. Tube suggestions are synchronized between your desktop and your Roku. Ive found that the more You. Tube we watch, the better it gets at suggesting other content that well probably like. Our You. Tube suggestions section is full of shows about machining, welding, homesteading, small engine repair, British home building, history, and videos of greyhounds looking goofy while running around. You. Tube knows us wellThe PBS app works fine on its own and looks like any on demand interface youd encounter on a cable box. Select the show and click play. Just that simple New programs generally appear the night of airing or the next day though we tend to be woefully behind in any series due to how little TV we actually watch. What About Live Events AKA Superball World Series of Poker de France. Our tidy TV accouterments. No dangling cordsIll be honest, we dont watch sports. And I know thats the major thing that keeps many people subscribing to cable. Im afraid I dont have much experience here, but I hear Sling TV is a good compromise. However, we do occasionally want to watch something live. Actually, I know exactly how many times per year Superbowl. Were in it for the commercials, which coincidentally are both funny and surreal given that we dont commonly see commercials nor do we see the point in buying any of the things that are advertised. We dont quite feel like were in Idiocracy but were getting there. Thanksgiving Day Parade. Its a family tradition to have this on while working on Thanksgiving dinner. Not sure well be watching it this year since Babywoods is due the day before Thanksgiving, but we shall see. It might be babys first TV showNew Years Eve ball drop. If were awake something thats increasingly less of a given, well tune in for the last 5 minutes or so of the New Years Eve spectacular. Again, its more tradition than actual interest. And were long past the time when we recognize any of the entertainers featured. Mrs. FW and I are woefully uninformed about the pop culture. Man I sound like an old guyote from Mrs. FW if the shoe fitsSo how do we get these sporadic live events on our TVNot those rabbit earsYe olde Rabbit Ears. Yep, they still exist. And better yet, the signal is digital and HD which means the quality is spectacular and at least here in the city very reliable. For a one time expense of 7, the ears give us all the live TV we need. Before we splurged the whopping 7 on our very own set of rabbit ears, we actually used a 3 foot length of red 2. I wrapped the stripped end around the inner conductor of the RG6 jack and strung the wire up into the air and through the slats in a nearby closet door. I thought it looked industrious, and Mrs. Frugalwoods endured the cosmetic challenge like a champ, but its utility was undermined by how often it slipped apart and required me to worm behind the TV with a pair of needle nose pliers to fix. A couple of times during important parts of the game was enough to convince us to go with a pro antenna. It was a solid choice. Homestead Contingency Plans.
