弄斷過河電纜

Earlier this week we asked you if you’d cut the cable and switched to alternate media sources to get your movie and TV fix. You responded and we’re back with a What You Said roundup.

本周早些時候，我們問您是否要切斷電纜并切換到其他媒體資源以修復電影和電視。 您做出了回應，我們將通過“您所說的內容”匯總回來。

One of the recurrent themes in reader comments and one, we must admit, we didn’t expect to see with such prevalence, was the number of people who had ditched cable for over-the-air HD broadcasts. Fantasm writes:

讀者評論中經常出現的主題之一，我們必須承認，我們沒想到如此流行，這是拋棄電纜進行高清HD廣播的人數。 幻想寫道：

I have a triple HD antenna array, mounted on an old tv tower, each antenna facing out from a different side of the triangular tower. On tope of the tower are two 20+ year old antennas… I’m 60 miles from toronto and get 35 channels, most in brilliant HD… Anything else, comes from the Internet… Never want cable or sat again…

我有一個安裝在舊電視塔上的三重高清天線陣列，每個天線都面向三角形塔的另一側。 塔頂上有兩根20歲以上的天線…我距多倫多60英里，可接收35個頻道，其中大多數以高清格式播放……其他任何東西都來自互聯網……再也不需要電纜或再坐……

Grant uses a combination of streaming services and, like Fantasm, manages to pull in HD content with a nice antenna setup:

Grant結合使用了流媒體服務，并且像Fantasm一樣，通過出色的天線設置設法提取高清內容：

We use Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, Crackle, and others on a Roku as well as OTA on a Tivo Premier. The Tivo is simply the best DVR interface I have ever used. The Tivo Netflix application, though, is terrible, and it does not support Amazon Prime. Having both boxes makes it easy to use all of the services.

我們在Roku上使用Netflix，Hulu Plus，Amazon Prime，Crackle等，在Tivo Premier上使用OTA。 Tivo只是我用過的最好的DVR接口。 但是，Tivo Netflix應用程序很糟糕，它不支持Amazon Prime。 同時擁有兩個盒子，可以輕松使用所有服務。

Things we really miss from satellite: Discovery Channel, Science Channel, History Channel, BBC America (OK only really Top Gear) and Cartoon Network. There is no shortage of things to watch, but there are a few things we want to see that we cannot. The bill is enough less, though, that it is worth it.

我們從衛星上真正想念的東西：發現頻道，科學頻道，歷史頻道，BBC美國(僅OK確實是Top Gear)和卡通網絡。 有很多值得看的東西，但是有一些我們希望看到的東西我們不能。 不過，這筆賬單少了很多，值得這樣做。

The closest city is only about 60,000 people, and that is almost 20 miles away, but I still get over 40 channels from 4 different states with a really big antenna, some of them from 109 miles away.

最近的城市只有約60,000人，距離幾乎20英里，但我仍然從4個不同的州獲得40多個頻道，并且天線很大，其中一些距離109英里。

Geoff uses an array of devices hooked up to streaming services to get his media fix:

Geoff使用連接到流服務的一系列設備來修復媒體：

My family cut the cable almost 2 years ago and we haven’t looked back. I have a roof mounted antenna and get 13 channels OTA. We use a Roku for Netflix, Youtube (was able to get the private channel before Roku shut it off) and HBOGo in the bedroom and use a Wii for Netflix in the living room. Netflix provides plenty of kids shows for our children. We made this decision because I was unemployed and couldn’t justify the $70/month for TV. The only thing I miss cable for is the live sporting events.

我的家人在大約2年前切斷了電纜，我們沒有回頭。 我有一個屋頂安裝的天線，并獲得13個信道的OTA。 我們在臥室使用Roku用于Netflix，Youtube(能夠在Roku關閉之前獲得私有頻道)和HBOGo，并在客廳使用Wii用于Netflix。 Netflix為我們的孩子們提供了許多兒童節目。 我們之所以做出這個決定，是因為我失業了，無法證明每月70美元的電視費用是合理的。 我唯一想念的是現場體育賽事。

Reading through the comments one thing becomes abundantly clear: between the introduction of over-the-air digital broadcasts and streaming internet video sources, fewer people than ever feel the need to keep $100+ cable packages. Hit up the full discussion thread for more comments.

通讀評論，一件事情變得很清楚：在引入空中數字廣播和流媒體互聯網視頻源之間，比以往任何時候都感覺不到需要保留100美元以上的有線電視套餐的人。 點擊完整的討論主題以獲取更多評論。
