We all know that cable is overpriced and that cutting the cord<\/a> can save you hundreds of dollars<\/a>. But just how much more does that cable subscription cost you?<\/p>\n

Costs of Cable vs. Mohu Antenna<\/h2>\n

The average low-tier cable package costs you about $65 per month, or nearly $775 per year, and gets you 189 channels, of which you likely only watch about 17<\/a>. That means that you’re paying about $0.40 per channel. But when you really do the math, you’re paying per month\u00a0upwards of $3.68 per channel<\/strong> you actually watch!<\/p>\n

In comparison, with your Leaf 30 antenna<\/a>, you can pull in an average of 53 channels at a total one-time price of $39.99 (a.k.a. no monthly bills attached). That means that you’re looking at a mere $0.06 cents per channel <\/strong>over a one-year span, and the cost continues to diminish over time since you only have the one-time cost of buying the antenna! To offer a fair comparison though, let’s assume you’re still only watching 17 of those channels – the math is still significantly below the cost of cable at $0.19 cents per channel watched.<\/p>\n

Even if you chalk up a little extra cash for the Leaf 50 HDTV antenna<\/a>, you’re still looking at significant savings compared to cable. At an average of 56 channels with the Leaf 50, you’re looking at just $0.09 cents per channel and $0.29 cents per channel watched.<\/p>\n

Here’s a visual breakdown of how much you overpay for cable, just how many channels you realistically watch, and how much each of those channels are costing you.<\/p>\n

TL;DR<\/h2>\n

With cable, you’re paying nearly $775 a year for 189 channels and yet you’re only watching 9% of them.\u00a0Why keep overpaying for channels you don’t watch? Find out how much\u00a0free TV<\/a>\u00a0you can enjoy with an\u00a0indoor HDTV antenna<\/a>\u00a0and start saving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
