Perfect Gift Ideas for the Cord-Cutter in Your Life

Searching for the perfect gift for a cord-cutter in your life? Whether it's for Christmas, a birthday, or any occasion, here are some fantastic gift ideas that cater to those who’ve ditched traditional cable and embraced streaming and free broadcast TV.

Gifts Under $50

1. Over-the-Air TV Antenna

Every cord-cutter should have an Over-the-Air (OTA) antenna to enjoy free, live local broadcasts. For those living in urban areas, a compact indoor antenna is a great choice. If your recipient is in a suburban or rural area, consider a larger outdoor antenna for better reception. Not sure if the antenna will work at their address? Use an online tool to check for available broadcast signals in their location.

2. Streaming Service Gift Cards

Almost every major streaming service offers gift cards that can be used for new subscriptions or to extend existing ones. While Netflix and Disney+ are well-known, think outside the box! A Paramount+ card is perfect for Star Trek fans, Crunchyroll gift cards are ideal for anime lovers, and CuriosityStream is a must for those who enjoy documentaries. There’s a streaming service for every taste!

Gifts Over $50

1. WiFi 6-Enabled Router

Enhance their home network with a WiFi 6-enabled router. This is a game-changer for streaming TV shows, movies, and Zoom calls without any buffering or lag. With more devices connected than ever before, a WiFi 6 router ensures a faster, more reliable internet experience, making it a perfect gift for those who stream content in 4K or host virtual meetings.

2. Roku Streambar

Elevate their home entertainment with the Roku Streambar. This sleek device combines a high-quality streaming player with a built-in soundbar, delivering an improved audio and viewing experience. It’s a great gift for anyone who enjoys streaming but could use a sound upgrade in their setup.

3. Tablo DVR

A Tablo DVR is a must-have for cord-cutters who want to take their TV-watching experience to the next level. With Tablo, they can watch live TV on any network-connected TV or device and even record shows to watch later. I personally use a Tablo DVR and love the flexibility it offers for managing live TV and recordings on my own schedule.

Whether they're a new cord-cutter or a seasoned streamer, these gifts will enhance their viewing experience and help them get the most out of their subscription services and free broadcasts.
