How do I cut cable and switch to streaming?

Start by listing the channels and shows you actually watch, then identify which streaming services carry that content. A typical cord-cutter setup might include 2–3 streaming services plus a free digital antenna for local broadcast TV (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox). Return your cable equipment, cancel your cable subscription, and reinvest the savings. Most households save $50–$100 per month switching from cable to a curated streaming stack.
