One of the main devices you will need as a cord cutter is a streaming device. With so many options out there it could be frustrating choosing the right one. below is a list of the best cord cutting streaming device according to us. We chose these based on their functionality, performance and how well they hold up to the full-time cord cutter.

Fire tv Stick

The Fire stick is an obvious choice and I love that it’s compact and versatile. You have every cord cutting app available and one of the biggest perks is the bluetooth connectivity which when paired with a headset allows you to watch tv without disturbing others. The interface is user friendly making it extremely easy to find the programming you want to watch. The only drawback is that the remote for the base model doesn’t control the TV volume and power, you’ll have to purchase a separate accessory for that.


Roku Ultra

Though Roku makes other streaming devices, I found that the Roku Ultra is the perfect cord cutter device. The interface is user friendly and can be personalized with custom themes and screensavers. It’s easy to find the content you need to watch. At first it seems similar to the fire stick but I assure you that it’s not. The minor con is that it doesn’t have bluetooth.


Android Box

There are tons of Android streaming boxes to choose from some popular and some not so. They have every option that an android phone has and you have access to the google play store which the Roku player also has. They also have media players and bluetooth. Keep in mind that all models are not made for cord cutting. The Nvidia Shield of course is the best option for cord cutters and gamers.

Other streaming devices

Games consoles

Game consoles are a great choice to stream content considering most households have them. I consider them to be an all around great source of fun and entertainment, but you might wanna check with your kids before you go hauling their game console off into your bedroom.

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!|
