This morning I realized that I pay almost $90 a month in cable to watch 2 channels 2 hours a day. History Channel and Fox News. I think I can cover History Channel off Netflix, but is there anywhere else I can watch the news in real time? |

Try an antenna.
I get 36 local channels with this: Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception [Electronics] Condition: New Sold by: Amazon.com LLC $38.01 Zinwell ZAT-970A Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (for Antenna Use) [Electronics] Condition: New Sold by: Amazon.com LLC $40.00 Look here. |

Quoted: Fox streams live to roku channel 9-3 m-f. Plus there's a number of other places you can find streams for CNN BBC NHK etc. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Yeah I was thinking about getting the Roku for the upstairs TV, my main TV has the Xbox. I didn't realize they had other channels. ETA, Cable is gone! |

I'll second this suggestion.

Aren't those on Netflix? Netflix really torqued me this weekend. Been trying to watch / finish Ronin for a week. Saturday I go to finish the movie and I can't find it. Jump on the computer, look it up, and find that Ronin is now DVD only on Netflix. No idea why it switched from streaming to DVD, but it did. I wonder how much other content they're losing / dropping. |

You can get the best HD picture money can buy this way, for free, but you can't get Fox News or the History channel. A clear QAM tuner will get you the same thing + a little more over a basic cable connection, even if you are only paying for a data connection (by fed law) but still no Fox News. |
