HBO to be available w/o cable subscription in 2015

What are the people that have cut off the TV chord paying for internet service at their house? I have found when trying to break apart the pieces you wind up with the same amount you started from unless you have not gotten around to negotiating a new fee with TWC or U-verse or the like in the last two years. By the time you add back in all the add ons , and iTunes paid prices, you seem to be back to the ball park you started from. I will pay $25 to thirty bucks a month to not have to search and stream.

Probably paying around $40 for internet. Add in another $20 or so a month for streaming services and individuals episodes of some shows plus another $30 for basic cable, and I am still probably $80ish under where I was with TWC when I rolled back. I also get much better content with Hulu+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix than I ever really did with Cable - even though I would likely get Amazon Prime for the shipping and Netflix for the content anyway.

Re: "to not have to search and stream" -- on the contrary, Roku (maybe AppleTV too) allows you to type in a show name and it will search all providers for you so you can jump right to it, and my $8/mo Hulu+ account doesn't require the effort you expend to schedule and rummage through recordings on your $10/month DVR
