Contest time!
If there’s a cheapskate holy grail, it’s getting rid of cable. Cutting the cord. Doing away with that heinous, high-priced monthly bill.
Of course, the tools and services you need to get started — the scissors, if you will — can end up costing a pretty penny. Or not, if you enter (and win) today’s contest!
Let’s call it the RCA Cord Cutter’s Scissor Kit! The grand prize:
- An RCA HDTV antenna (your choice, based on where you live, as different models work better in different locations).
- A current-generation Roku 3 streaming box (the one with voice search).
- A $100 Netflix gift card.
That’ll give you everything you need to tune in local stations, stream every service known to man, and enjoy a year’s worth of arguably the best service known to man. Total value of that sweet prize bundle: around $250.
You also have a shot at one of two runner-up prizes: an RCA antenna and $100 Netflix gift card. All you have to do is hit the comments and name your favorite network show, the one that’s going to come in crystal-clear once you connect that spiffy new antenna. While you’re at it, why not vote in our poll?
