One Minute. One Tip. #MoneyMinute Find more details about how to cut the cord at http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/cordcutter ------------------------------------------------ Pay-TV customers have an average monthly bill of $123 according to NPD Group. My tip to save money is to get rid of your expensive satellite or cable TV package and become a cord cutter. Hesitant to cancel because you love having a ton of entertainment options? You're in luck! You can still get a huge amount of content for free over the air, or through affordable online streaming options. Here's what you need to do. - First, Get an over the air DVR like the Tablo Over The Air DVR. You can record all your favorite over the air shows, and watch them on all your devices- smartphones, tablets, computers and of course on your TV. http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/tablo-tv-over-the-air-dvr-the-cord-cutters-dream/ - Second, get a video streaming device. My current favorite is the Amazon Fire TV Stick for only $39. http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-review-a-device-for-the-cord-cutters-toolbox/ -Third, subscribe to a video streaming service after determining which ones have access to your favorite shows that you want to watch. Some of my favorite services include: - Sling TV - Netflix - Amazon Instant Video - Hulu - HBO Now. Once you've setup your cord cutting package, instead of paying $123/month you'll likely be spending more in the range of $20-30/month or less. Who couldn't use an extra $1200 a year?

Putting Together Your Own Cord Cutting Package, And A Look At Mine.. Full article: http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/the-great-big-cord-cutting-manual-for-cost-conscious-consumers/ In the past year or so we've seen a lot of big changes in the streaming TV world, and it has made dumping expensive cable and satellite TV packages that much more feasible, without having to worry about losing access to your favorite shows. So what are some of the changes that we've seen in the past year or two? We've seen the rise of over-the-air DVRs that make it easy to record high definition TV programming for no cost other than the cost of the DVR itself. We've seen several new streaming services pop up, like Sling TV and PlayStation Vue, that promise to make cutting the cord much more pain free. And we've seen big cable TV empires like HBO, that traditionally are only available via a cable TV subscription, launch their own a-la-carte online streaming channels. The TV landscape is changing, and it's easier than ever to drop your expensive cable subscription. So let's get started and look at what you need to have in order to create your own cord cutting package.

Amazon Echo Unboxing, Review and Demonstration Full review: http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/amazon-echo-review-voice-controlled-bluetooth-speaker-and-virtual-assistant/ A short while ago I heard about a cool new product that Amazon was releasing called the Amazon Echo. The Echo is a Bluetooth speaker, an audio player, and a virtual assistant along the lines of Siri or Google Now. When I heard about it, I thought it sounded pretty cool, and knew I had to have one. The only problem was that you could only get one by invitation. So I signed up to be put on the waiting list. A week or two ago I got an email from Amazon saying I was able to order one of the devices (only one). It could be at my house within 2 days. I hesitated for a day, and by that time the delivery date was 3 weeks out. Finally I jumped on and it just arrived this week. Here's my unboxing and review video of the #AmazonEcho. If you want to just jump in and watch as I ask the Echo questions, head over to the 7 minute mark: http://youtu.be/q-9qdDvCt4w?t=7m Get put on the waiting list for the Amazon Echo here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9EOQCO/?tag=bibmonmat0f-20 So what's my verdict on the Amazon Echo? We’ve been having a lot of fun with the Echo and really enjoy it. When the Echo first arrived, my wife said she couldn’t imagine that she’d ever use it. Later that night I was putting my son to bed upstairs and I could hear her asking the Echo to play music from one of her favorite artists downstairs. She’s been converted by how fun the Echo is to use. You say it, Echo plays it! My son is no different. He’s been having a blast playing his favorite songs. The only problem? I’m not sure yet of a way to lock him out – he tends to turn the volume up as high as he can by saying “Alexa, louder!”, and the Echo is plenty loud when it’s turned up. I’ve been using the Echo every morning as I eat my breakfast, I ask it for a flash news briefing and it gives me the news of the day from NPR and other sources. Handy. I’ve been impressed with the Echo and how well the voice recognition works. While it still needs a bit of work in the number of questions it can answer, that can only get better over time. The Echo’s speech sounds very natural, and it’s easy to start thinking that you have adopted a new member of the family when Alexa starts talking.

Full Tablo TV Review: http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/tablo-tv-over-the-air-dvr-the-cord-cutters-dream/ Putting together a cord cutting package: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqqltYpicc For the last few years I've written quite a bit on my site about cutting the cord and finding ways to dump your expensive cable or satellite TV package. On a recent post that I wrote about using a digital antenna to get HDTV programming, one reader mentioned that if they canceled their cable TV package that they would miss their cable company's DVR because they like to record series of their favorite shows, watch local football games, and so on. Another commenter chimed in that they would suggest checking out the Tablo TV over-the-air DVR which should give you much of that same video recording functionality. I reached out to the company that makes the Tablo device, Nuvyyo, and asked if they might be able to send out a device for me to review. They were kind enough to do just that. So let's take a look at the Tablo TV Over-The-Air HDTV DVR! A few specs for the Tablo DVR: 2 ATSC digital tuners (or 4 depending on which unit you buy) 10/100 ethernet port 2 USB port WiFi included: 802.11n dual band 2.4 and 5Ghz with MIMO Upgradeable firmware RAM 512 MB (2 Tuner), 1GB (4 Tuner) Flash 1 GB Bluetooth 4.0 (for future applications) Features of the Tablo DVR: Watch, pause and record live TV Skip commercials Schedule recordings Manage existing recordings Record up to 2 shows simultaneously Watch on up to 6 devices simultaneously Watch on PC/Mac or iPhone/Android smartphone via browser Stream live AND recorded shows anywhere in the world Streaming to TV via AppleTV/Roku/Chromecast (More devices planned in the future) iPad & Android tablet app interface Find more great content by visiting us at http://www.biblemoneymatters.com Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/biblemoneymatters Twitter: http://twitter.com/moneymatters Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/moneymatters YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/biblemoneymatters

The job? Turning on your in ground irrigation and sprinkler system in the spring.
