It\u2019s also about escaping from advertising.<\/p>\n<p>When you ditch cable or satellite TV, it\u2019s possible to set up a plan in which you\u2019ll never have to sit through commercial breaks again. While the right combination of hardware and streaming services can cost a bit more, the added expense is worthwhile if you hate being interrupted by advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to consider for an ad-free cord-cutting setup:<\/p>\n<h2>Use ad-free streaming services<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"emo emo-sb\">\n<h6 class=\"nav-title\">Mentioned in this article<\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The most obvious way avoid ads as a cord-cutter is to choose commercial-free streaming services. That way, your viewing experience will never be interrupted by annoying ad breaks.<\/p>\n<p>The list of ad-free streaming services is long, so subscribing to lots of them at the same time would waste an absurd amount of money. My advice, as always, is to pick one or two \u201cbase\u201d services that will comprise most of your TV viewing, then add or drop others on a month-to-month basis.<\/p>\n<p>As I noted last week, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu have the largest selections of streaming TV shows by far. Netflix and Prime are ad-free by default, with the former costing $13 per month for HD video or $16 per month for 4K HDR, and the latter costing $9 per month for just video and $120 per year with other Prime benefits (free shipping, etc.). Hulu\u2019s commercial-free service costs $12 per month, twice the price of its standard plan.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2020\/06\/netflix-app-100849972-orig.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"netflix app\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-imageid=\"100849972\" data-license=\"IDG\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2020\/06\/netflix-app-100849972-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Ben Patterson\/IDG<\/small><figcaption>\n<p>Netflix is just one of many ad-free streaming services for cord-cutters.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From there, you can start plugging in additional streaming services based on your needs and interests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disney+ ($7 per month or $70 per year) is great for Marvel and Star Wars fans, as well as for family-friendly programming.<\/li>\n<li>HBO Max ($15 per month) combines HBO\u2019s prestige programming with other content from the WarnerMedia catalog.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs.com\/all-access\" rel=\"nofollow\">CBS All Access<\/a> ($10 per month or $100 per year without ads) provides next-day access to CBS shows and a growing number of originals.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peacocktv.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Peacock<\/a> ($10 per month, launching July 15) has shows from NBC and movies from Universal.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showtime.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Showtime<\/a> ($11 per month), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starz.com\/us\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Starz<\/a> ($9 per month), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epix.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Epix<\/a> ($6 per month) have all the same programming as their cable channel counterparts.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-tv-plus\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple TV+<\/a> ($5 per month, $50 per year, or free for a year with a new Apple device) offers a small but growing number of original movies and shows.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/premium\" rel=\"nofollow\">YouTube Premium<\/a> ($12 per month) removes ads from YouTube across all your streaming devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some streaming services are available for free, even without advertisements. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopladigital.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hoopla<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kanopy<\/a> let you check out free movies and shows with a library card (if your local library participates), while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/pbs-video-app\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">PBS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pbskids.org\/apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">PBS Kids<\/a> apps provide lots of on-demand video from public broadcasting.

For that, you\u2019ll need a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV, Sling TV, AT&amp;T TV Now, or Philo.<\/p>\n<p>All of these services include cloud-based DVRs, so you can record live programs and skip through commercials, but there are some caveats: Hulu + Live TV, for instance, charges $10 per month extra for ad-skipping features, bringing the total price to $65 per month. And with AT&amp;T TV Now, there\u2019s no visual thumbnail preview when you fast forward through recordings, so you can\u2019t easily identify when ad breaks end.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2018\/10\/philopreview-100778045-orig.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"philopreview\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-imageid=\"100778045\" data-license=\"IDG\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2018\/10\/philopreview-100778045-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Jared Newman \/ IDG<\/small><figcaption>\n<p>If you want to fast forward through ads, a visual preview is essential.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Manually skipping through ads yourself will be an annoyance no matter which service you choose. Given the rising costs of channel bundles, and the increasing amount of content available elsewhere (see the section above), you might just consider getting by without them.<\/p>\n<h2>Consider rolling your own DVR<\/h2>\n<p>If your cord-cutting plans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techhive.com\/article\/3402266\/do-you-need-an-antenna-to-cut-the-cord.html\">involve an antenna, an over-the-air DVR can give you ad-skipping superpowers.<\/p>\n<p>Tablo\u2019s Dual Lite ($140) and Quad DVRs ($200) record programs from an antenna, and can then stream the video to the Tablo app on a wide range of smart TVs and streaming players. Once you\u2019ve recorded a show, it can automatically skip over the ads as well, though it\u2019ll cost you a bit extra: Tablo\u2019s DVR subscriptions cost $5 per month, $50 per year, or $150 for life; ad-skipping costs $2 per month or $20 per year on top of that.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2019\/05\/tabloadskip-100796192-orig.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"tabloadskip\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-imageid=\"100796192\" data-license=\"IDG\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2019\/05\/tabloadskip-100796192-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Jared Newman \/ IDG<\/small><figcaption>\n<p>Some over-the-air DVRs, including Tablo, can automatically detect ads and skip right over them.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Plex DVR works similarly, recording from an antenna and streaming the video to the Plex app. But instead of just skipping over commercials, Plex can remove them from the recording outright. The hardware for this can get pricey\u2014you must supply your own media server device, TV tuner, and storage, and a Plex Pass subscription for recording costs $4 per month, $40 per year, or $120 for life\u2014but it\u2019s a powerful solution once you\u2019ve set it up.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"emo emo-sb\">\n<h6 class=\"nav-title\">Mentioned in this article<\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Channels DVR is pricier at $8 per month or $80 per year, but the software is a bit slicker overall. It supports automatic commercial skipping, and it has one extremely neat trick: If you\u2019re subscribed to a pay TV service and have a login for streaming apps, you can record cable channel streams as well. The hardware requirements are similar to Plex but with enough technical wherewithal, you can set Channels up for cheap on a Raspberry Pi microcomputer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, TiVo is still around, and its over-the-air DVRs have the same SkipMode button as its cable boxes. The only problem is that TiVo now stuffs pre-roll ads into its recordings, though you might be able to get rid of them by complaining.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid streaming devices with banner ads<\/h2>\n<p>Even if the shows you\u2019re watching don\u2019t have commercials, your streaming device might make you step over a few ads to access them.<\/p>\n<p>Roku devices display a large banner ad next to your app list, taking up about a third of the screen. While this doesn\u2019t directly impede navigation, it does leave less room for apps, so you\u2019ll have to scroll around more to find what you want. The shortcut buttons on Roku remotes are also a form of advertising, and you can\u2019t reprogram them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"large \"><a class=\"zoom\" href=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2017\/09\/rokubannerad-100736376-orig.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"rokubannerad\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-imageid=\"100736376\" data-license=\"Supplied Art\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.idgesg.net\/images\/article\/2017\/09\/rokubannerad-100736376-large.jpg\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <small class=\"credit\">Roku<\/small><figcaption>\n<p>With Roku\u2019s big banner ads, fewer apps fit on the home screen .<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Amazon\u2019s Fire TV devices also have advertising in the form of \u201cSponsored\u201d content rows on the home screen. You\u2019ll need to navigate past these advertisements while looking for recommendations. The a la carte purchases and rentals that Amazon suggests on its home screen are a form of advertising as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re bothered by these tactics, an Nvidia Shield TV or Apple TV will provide a cleaner experience, with no ads clogging up their respective home screens. I\u2019d give a slight edge to the Nvidia Shield TV here, if only because Apple does a lot of self-promotion through its universal guide app (also confusingly called Apple TV), but you can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/tv\/set-the-home-button-atvbe7706127\/tvos\" rel=\"nofollow\">avoid that menu with a settings tweak<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But as with everything else, the ad-free experience doesn\u2019t come cheap. Both the Nvidia Shield TV and Apple TV start at $150.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sign up for Jared\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jarednewman.com\/cordcutterweekly\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cord Cutter Weekly newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get more cord-cutting news, insights, and deals delivered to your inbox.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"end-note\">\n<p>\t\t<!-- blx4 #2010 blox4.html  --><\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"blx blxParticleendnote blxM2010  blox4_html  blxC24070\">Note: When you purchase something after clicking links in our articles, we may earn a small commission.
