Cutting the Cord and Cutting the Bills: Website provides money-saving tips

For some people, over-the-top TV is a supplement to traditional pay TV services like cable or satellite. For others, it’s a replacement.
George Hines, author of the blog Cutting the Cord and Cutting the Bills, says you can save a lot of money by switching from pay TV to free over-the-air broadcast TV and over-the-top TV services.
Hines reached the breaking point when his cable bill hit $165 a month. He dumped cable TV in favor of broadcast TV and over-the-top TV, including Netflix. He also replaced his landline phone with an Internet phone service. His monthly bill dropped to $42 from $165, he says. That’s an annual savings of $1,476.
