GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) --In my continued quest to save you time and money, today how to cut cable, get live TV (and sports) and also get a Free Amazon Fire TV stick.
I have not paid a cable or satellite bill for the past decade. The ironic part of course is that I'm very proud to work for our TV station and I don't want you to stop watching us! Below you'll find my three easy steps to cut cable and still enjoy many of your favorite shows and networks for free.
The savings are all tied today to a service that is in a sense revolutionary. Sling TV, a new live TV streaming service from Dish provides you with access to networks like ESPN 1, ESPN 2, HGTV, Food TV,TBS, Disney and more for $19.99 per month. All you need is an internet connection to watch Sling TV on a television, phone or tablet. With a deal I found, just for signing up, you get a FREE Fire TV Stick.
If you are unhappy with the nickle and diming from your cable company and tired of paying over-priced rates, here are my suggestions.
Sling TV or a service like Hulu is obviously not perfect for everyone but if you'd like to pay less for live television, Sling TV is the first product of its kind that makes a new wave of cord-cutting possible for the masses. There is no contract and you can cancel at any time.
1. Get a great HD Antenna, like this model, so you can still watch this TV station.
2. Cut your cable. Consider a service like Sling TV. You can try a 7 week trial or pre-pay three months and GET A FREE FIRE TV STICK so you can watch Sling TV on an HDMI-Equipped TV Set as well as on your Apple and Android Tablets / Smart Phones.
Watch my full demonstration of Sling TV right here and you'll see how easy it is to operate. Additional television packs for kids or serious sports fanatics can be added for $5.
3. If you would prefer to pay less than $19.99 per month and don't mind watching most major TV shows a day after they air, consider Hulu Plus which is $7.99 per month and can be used on more than one device at a time (unlike Sling TV). Amazon Prime is another good way to go if you're a movie buff and want other perks like free music, books and kindle books for around $8 per month.
Try a two week free trial of Hulu Plus by clicking this link.
Try a one month free trial of Amazon Prime by clicking this link.

Get a FREE Fire TV stick (or $50 Off Fire TV Box) by pre-paying 3 months of Sling TV. No contract required.
