A Chromecast is simple enough that most senior faculty can use it. That's a real challenge, because some of them still think that tray on their computer is a drink holder.
Sounds like a winner!
I can't pat myself on the back enough about cutting the cord. I pay 20 bucks a month. That takes care of all my Wi-Fi needs; and 90% of my television entertainment is YouTube through the Roku. I have a $20 over-the-air antenna, and a few free channels (including "hub of pron".... PM if u need deets lol) that make up the other 10-ish percent.
30 per month through Wal-fart mobile on a $90 all-in phone. Tech and entertainment covered for 50 bucks a month. It took an initial investment of around 2 month's worth of Dish Network payments.... Three years later and I'm still golden. Wow. I had doubts before I did it, and for a month or so afterward, to be honest. In hindsight and for the foreseeable future it was absolutely a good decision.
There is an adjustment and behavior curve, but it's short-lived. The first month you don't cuss while forking over "too doggone" much dough for tv entertainment you'll adjust! Congrats and welcome to the "cord"-less life!

Great point. For the month after we got a Roku we kept our cable package. I remember telling my wife I wasn't sure if this was a good idea so I would keep cable just in case.
As in your experience, it didn't take long to adjust.
Just a few months ago we stayed with some friends who have the ultra Comcast package. Every channel they offer, fancy remotes, DVR, you name it. It was weird sitting there going through channel guide. It almost felt like a downgrade.
