For nearly forty years, America has been entertained by the trials and tribulations of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. On 5 January 1970, ABC premiered one of their most famous soap operas, 'All My Children.' The show is famous for dealing with many socially relevant issues reflective of the times. Such issues include abortion, drug use, the Vietnam War, homosexuality, and rape. But it has always done it in a classy and intelligent way, which is why the show has lasted so long and remained so popular. Through good times and bad times, the show has always stuck through - until 2011 when ABC pulled the plug and the show was intended to move online.

The plans were, however, suspended until early 2013 when the show was finally revived again, only to be canceled after its first revived season on the air. More less • • • •.

Apr 28, 2016. Some of the original content isn't so original: we're in the era of rescuing once-dead TV shows on the Web. It happened already on Netflix with Arrested Development, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Trailer Park Boys, Longmire, and The Killing. It has even gone so far as to revive Full House (as Fuller House).

An early hit for the web-based channel, there are seven episodes, each a few minutes long, presented like comedy sketches, plus a 'season finale' special. Despite the evocative name, there is no nudity, only some crude language that some viewers may find objectionable. The series focuses on two couples: Clark (Will Hines), Beth (Eliza Skinner), Fran (Julie Klausner), and Tom (Matthieu Cornillon), although none really stand out from the others. There are also several one-time characters. The overall theme is of dark comedy, often starting with something seemingly straightforward and innocent, and then completely changing direction.

For example, one episode features the four main characters covered in balloons, eager to pop them one by one to show their nakedness underneath, only to begin mourning the meaninglessness of life. Fans of Kids in the Hall and Human Giant should find this series to their liking. The series was produced by Upright Citizens Brigade. More less • • • •.

Get today's popular Digital Trends articles in your inbox: Once called an “experiment” by prognosticating pundits in the past, live streaming TV has captured the attention of a wide audience, with,, and AT&T’s recently introduced all in play. Channels and hit series that were once strictly bound by the confines of a cable subscription can now be accessed for a small monthly fee with no contract, no equipment rentals, and no to deal with. There’s never been a better time to kick cable to the curb. Not everyone is cut out to be a “cord cutter,” though. Ditching cable or satellite service and the bill that goes with it sounds great in theory, but it’s not something you want to rush into without doing a little research and preparation first.

As with most things, there’s a right way to go about cord cutting, and then there’s the way that sends you back to your cable company begging for forgiveness. We tend to prefer the right way the awesome way.

Keep reading to find out the most cost-effective methods for dropping cable in favor of streaming. First things first: How’s your internet? The thing about internet-delivered TV is that you need a broadband connection that’s copacetic with the streaming lifestyle. This may seem like a foregone conclusion, but we want to make it clear that if you’re going to bet your precious entertainment future on your network, you best have a solid hookup. Netflix and other similar streaming video services suggest downstream speeds of 5Mbps, but that’s simply not going to hack it for most folks, especially those with families that might want to stream more than one show or movie at a time.

When new cord cutters are confronted with buffering, they are understandably frustrated. Consider that 5Mbps may get you one HD video stream, but you may experience loading and buffering delays if your network is getting choked up with any other traffic. Cable TV doesn’t interrupt your show to buffer, so when new cord-cutters are confronted with delays, they are understandably frustrated. Avoid the buffer and upgrade your broadband speed if you can, otherwise it’s time to reconsider ditching cable. We also recommend at peak streaming hours (between 6 – 10 p.m.

Weekdays) to determine if your neighborhood struggles under the strain of heavy traffic. For instance, if you routinely get around 10Mbps downloads during the day, but that figure takes a dive to about 3Mbps around dinner time, you’ll want to call your internet provider to see if anything can be done. Fortunately, this is an increasingly rare problem, but better to check ahead. Of course, if you’re looking to get into the streaming big leagues to access the available, you’ll want to kick up your broadband speed a few more notches. For streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon you’ll likely want to have at least 25Mbps on hand (which is what Netflix explicitly recommends).

If you’re only going to be downloading 4K content from sites like FandangoNow or Ultraflix, 10Mbps will probably suffice. In any event, fast and reliable internet is an integral key to a positive streaming experience. Get an HD antenna Before you’ve canceled your cable or satellite subscription, you’ll first want to investigate what’s available to you via an HD antenna. For people in urban areas, a good HD antenna likely offers all four major networks (FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS), along with 10-15 other selections (PBS, CW, etc) in full HD, for free. To make sure you’ll get decent reception, you can simply buy one and try it out, ask around the neighborhood, or try this which will tell you which channels you can expect to receive and even offers a standardized color-coded system that can recommend specific antenna types.

There are numerous antennas available that will nab you plenty of HD channels, but here are a few of our favorites. ($50) The ClearStream Eclipse has some of the best-rated performance in its class. The antenna is multi-directional, powerful, and surprisingly versatile. The Eclipse comes in four separate versions: 35, 50, 60, and 70-mile variations, so you’ll be able to snag a model that best suits your location. The double-sided adhesive mounting surface is black on one side, and white on the other, and it can be painted over so you’ll be able to integrate it into any decor. The circular design of the antenna is unique and provides an advantage in being better at picking up UHF signals (a type of HD TV signal) than most other indoor antennas.

Plus, it’s multidirectional, so finding an ideal configuration where the signal is clearest is easy. ($20-$25) We like the Leaf Metro because its small profile easily tucks away, without sacrificing much functionality. Though its range is limited to approximately 25 miles, it’s perfect for those living in smaller apartments or rented rooms, especially in urban environments where over-air TV signals are plentiful. To compound the versatility enabled by its tiny size, the antenna also come in either black or white, and you can also paint it to match your interior. Plus, its adhesive coating means it’ll stick to most any surface and can be moved to other locations with ease. An included 10-foot coaxial cable allows for fairly flexible installation. ($10) If you’re cutting the cord to save money, then it seems logical to want to save on an indoor antenna, too.

Fortunately, the Channel Master FLATenna is one of the cheapest on the block, and performs nearly as well as other models five or six times its price. The FLATenna has a range of 35 miles, and it’s simple design is also multidirectional. The antenna’s surface is adhesive for easy attachment to windows or walls — wherever it picks up signals (and fits) best.

Available at: There are several more recommendations in our which also includes explanations on how antennas work and how best to set them up. Think you might want to record your local network TV stations? Consider picking up a. Trade up for a real streaming device You might have a Blu-ray player or smart TV with streaming apps on board, but if you’re going to transition to a full-time streaming entertainment plan, you’ll want a device purpose-built for the job. ($99) For our money, the best and brightest offerings come from Roku. While every model the company sells has its merits, the best of the bunch has to be the Roku Premiere+. The Premiere+ improves on the previous best model, the Roku 4, by keeping 4K and the price tag but adding support for HDR and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

If you don’t need HDR, the Roku Premiere is cheaper and still offers 4K. With thousands of available “channels,” Roku’s platform connects to virtually every major streaming service online.

More importantly, the interface is very intuitive; you can quickly search for content across providers by actor, series or movie title, or the genre you’re looking for. The Roku interface will even tell you which services offer what you want for free, and which will charge for it.

The remote is also super handy — you can even connect a pair of headphones for wireless listening late at night. Available at: While the Roku Premiere+ is our standout favorite, there are some great alternatives, each with its own special something to offer. Here’s a rundown of some close contenders. ($69-$200) After years of waiting, Apple finally debuted the latest version of its streaming box, which began shipping in October 2015.

The new device comes in two versions: a 32GB version for $150, and a 64GB version for $200. The big seller for the latest Apple TV is its revamped touch-pad remote, which is designed to operate much more like an iPhone than its predecessor and it can also be used as a gaming remote. The new system is also faster, and more focused around integrating music and gaming, but it does not have 4K Ultra HD support. As such, many will want to go with an alternative like the Roku Premiere+ or the latest Amazon Fire TV (below). Another option for the serious bargain seeker is to find the third generation model on a site like ebay, though we obviously can’t vouch for any reliability there.

While the previous generation Apple TV is definitely showing its age, it’s still very handy for Apple fans thanks to Airplay, which easily allows you to stream media from your iPhone or iPad to the TV. Either way, if you’re a big-time Apple fan who won’t be getting into 4K in the foreseeable future, the Apple TV may be a viable choice as your streaming hub. Check out our hands-on review of the. ($99-140) Amazon’s Fire TV burst on the scene in April of 2014 as a speedy way to stream, while also offering voice-activated search, and a wide selection of games. The second-generation of devices from Amazon () offer a whole new bag of tricks, including an updated Fire TV streaming stick with voice-activation ($50), 4K Ultra HD streaming support for the standard streaming box ($99), and an upgraded bundle for gaming that comes with a dedicated controller ($140).

Fast, easy to use, and integrated with Amazon’s clever voice assistant, Alexa, Amazon’s streaming boxes make for enticing choices when setting up your cord-cutting system.
