Streaming TV in 2021

Each year at this time, I usually find myself looking ahead at all of the promise of the new year. Many of us will consider resolutions we can make to improve ourselves as the calendar turns to 2021.

That’s why I have a suggested resolution for many of our mem-bers that can be accomplished from the couch

Here are my suggestions for how to give it a try:

1. Start Small. Most streaming platforms offer a free trial of up to 30 days. Beyond that, basic plans for Disney+, Hulu and Netflix are priced at under $10 per month so you can try the service without a huge financial commitment. Locast is also available in our area which provides networks such as NBC, ABC, etc. to rural areas at no charge.
2. Pick the right box. Your TV may already have some streaming capabilities built in to get you started. If not, you’ll need a Roku device or Amazon’s Fire TV Stick connected to your Wi-Fi to get you started.
3. Ask for help. Whether it’s a friend, family member or one of our friendly staff, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for advice on navigating this exciting new world of stream-ing video.
