弄断过河电缆

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.

本周早些时候，我们问您是否要切断电缆并切换到其他媒体资源以修复电影和电视。 您做出了回应，我们将通过“您所说的内容”汇总回来。

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:

读者评论中经常出现的主题之一，我们必须承认，我们没想到如此流行，这是抛弃电缆进行高清HD广播的人数。 幻想写道：

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…

我有一个安装在旧电视塔上的三重高清天线阵列，每个天线都面向三角形塔的另一侧。 塔顶上有两根20岁以上的天线…我距多伦多60英里，可接收35个频道，其中大多数以高清格式播放……其他任何东西都来自互联网……再也不需要电缆或再坐……

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

Grant结合使用了流媒体服务，并且像Fantasm一样，通过出色的天线设置设法提取高清内容：

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.

我们在Roku上使用Netflix，Hulu Plus，Amazon Prime，Crackle等，在Tivo Premier上使用OTA。 Tivo只是我用过的最好的DVR接口。 但是，Tivo Netflix应用程序很糟糕，它不支持Amazon Prime。 同时拥有两个盒子，可以轻松使用所有服务。

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.

我们从卫星上真正想念的东西：发现频道，科学频道，历史频道，BBC美国(仅OK确实是Top Gear)和卡通网络。 有很多值得看的东西，但是有一些我们希望看到的东西我们不能。 不过，这笔账单少了很多，值得这样做。

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.

最近的城市只有约60,000人，距离几乎20英里，但我仍然从4个不同的州获得40多个频道，并且天线很大，其中一些距离109英里。

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

Geoff使用连接到流服务的一系列设备来修复媒体：

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.

我的家人在大约2年前切断了电缆，我们没有回头。 我有一个屋顶安装的天线，并获得13个信道的OTA。 我们在卧室使用Roku用于Netflix，Youtube(能够在Roku关闭之前获得私有频道)和HBOGo，并在客厅使用Wii用于Netflix。 Netflix为我们的孩子们提供了许多儿童节目。 我们之所以做出这个决定，是因为我失业了，无法证明每月70美元的电视费用是合理的。 我唯一想念的是现场体育赛事。

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.

通读评论，一件事情变得很清楚：在引入空中数字广播和流媒体互联网视频源之间，比以往任何时候都感觉不到需要保留100美元以上的有线电视套餐的人。 点击完整的讨论主题以获取更多评论。
