Free Alternative to Cable

[amyDAST]

I decided to start this thread as some users on here don't have cable due to prices (as read on another thread)
Everything I am about to post is FREE services as you only need internet connection (home or wifi) NOTHING more! No email, no credit card- nothing!
These apps you can you use on your smartphone, computer and/or Xbox 360 (Not sure about other gaming consoles as the Xbox 360 is all we have)

1- Crackle (they post movies every month & they have their own original t.v. series, they even have popular Anime) -I did make a profile with only my Facebook so they remember my movies or t.v. shows I had been watching. www.crackle.com

2- Popcornflix (They post movies (new ones throughout the month) & older t.v. shows from past seasons) This one also has a kids section. And has a bigger selection then Crackle with both movies & t.v. shows but both sites have different movies & t.v. shows on them. www.popcornflix.com

I know there are more sites out there but the only reason I had saved these to my computer & got the apps on the gaming console is because the selection of movies are awesome & of course it is free.

I thought about hooking a computer up to my TV and using the network websites to watch their programs. I just need to buy a special cable for it, but don't know if hubby would understand how to work it. He's far from being a techie. He just learned how to use the remote last year but don't know how to use the guide to change channels or see what's on.

My husband hooked our older modem tower up to our flat screen t.v. which had a port for our computer already. Our newest t.v we would have had to purchase the cable which if I am not mistaking you can purchase on Amazon for under $10.00 because I looked into it before deciding just to keep our gaming console hooked up to the that t.v.
