TV Your Way - 2nd Tier Providers Offer Savings And Convenience

So called 2nd Tier Providers have been around for almost a decade now (in some cases, anyway), but they now offer more choices than ever - and a way to escape the cable company's price structure, depending on exactly what you want to watch.

Of course, to some people cable is essential. This is especially true if you are a sports fan as there is no realistic way to stream games and matches from many sports, although this is slowly changing - soccer (or football as it is known overseas) is a great example of that.

But, if you are not a sports fan it is possible to save money by combining one or more of the so called 2nd Tier. This includes Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and some per pay providers like Vudu.

It is true that you can't get everything doing this, but for just over $25.00 a month I have Amazon, Netflix and Hulu, and this covers a lot of bases, providing a large selection of content that is both brand new and (with Netflix) older shows and movies that I can binge watch!

And, for those shows that I have to have, I use Vudu to buy the seasons - the Walking Dead is one I no longer want to wait till it comes on Netflix, but most seasons can be purchased for between $20 - $27 bucks, which is not that much when comparing it to a $70/month TV bill.

And, since everything is streaming there is no need to set a DVR device - you watch it whenever you want to! It would be nice if they start streaming at the same time the episode airs, but there is almost always a 1 day delay. After you get used to it it does not in truth seem like a delay at all.

PS3's make an excellent media entertainment center, giving you the ability to stream, play games and  BluRays!

And, more and more devices enable these services. You do need an internet connection with decent speed, but most modern Blu Ray players, smart TV's, or just about any gaming system has the capability to hook up to any of these services, including a completely free service, YouTube, which is fantastic for concerts and documentaries (not so much for current or past TV shows).

So if you are looking fro a way to save money, consider cutting ties with your cable company as a TV provider, and go to one of your local pawn shops in Lincolnton NC to get good, low cost electronics liker TVs in Lincolnton, game systems, computers and more!

Lincoln County Living - the new blog for Lincoln County!

Welcome to the Lincoln County Living Blog!

The Lincoln County Living Blog will be addressing a wide array of interests in and around Lincoln County from fishing and nature walks, how to articles, cooking tips and tricks and much more - it will also be an outlet for several of our Lincoln County businesses such as the brand new pawn shop in Lincolnton NC, James House of Deals and Pawn!

Lincolnton and Lincoln County musicians have had a rough time in the last few years when it comes to music stores - namely, that thee haven't been many around and that if they needed something as simple as strings or tuners they had to drive to Hickory, Gastonia or Charlotte.

James House of Deals & Pawn, which opened for business the last week of June 2016 looks to change that, giving Lincoln county and Lincolnton residents more choices in pawn shops and mercantile, and a full line music store which will over time offer area musicians a wide selection of music gear in Lincolnton and Lincoln County.

Currently, they have guitar strings, cables, mics, tuners, guitar stands and some instruments. They will be adding many more accessories in the coming months and hope to build a music store Lincolnton NC residents can depend on for great service, great gear and competitive pricing!

James House of Deals in Lincolnton NC will also be dealing with some excellent used gear, like this pristine Epiphone EJ200 VS Acoustic Guitar!
