6 best media streaming devices to help ditch your cable bill

With over-the-top television services like DirecTV Now, Playstation Vue, and Sling TV gaining popularity, the great unbundling is upon us -- and it's now easier than ever to dump your cable subscription for shows delivered via the Internet. But in order to watch your favorite online programs on a big screen, you'll probably need a streaming media device (unless you have a smart TV or a games console.) Improving all the time, these media streaming devices can connect you to everything from Amazon Video to YouTube TV, with apps and games added to the mix, too. One caveat: Even if you cancel cable TV, you'll still need to pay for Internet service to use these. Affordable and easy to use, the Amazon Fire TV can do a lot for your living room for little money.
