You\u2019ve heard the saying \u201ctime is money\u201d, but I think time is more valuable than even money. There\u2019s no reason to waste it because of a TV show (or movie) when you have the option of watching later or at your demand. \u00a0You need a plan for how you do television or television will have its own plan for how you spend your time, your life, your business. It helps if you have tools in place to manage how you consume television shows, movies, and video content as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Having the perfect tools puts TV on your time.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you begin to formulate a plan that works for you and your family, I\u2019d like to share a few of the tools that you may find in the Clark household.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/\"><b>Netflix<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0I feel as if everyone is in a Netflix craze. \u00a0I\u2019ve been a fan of Netflix since they launched their DVD subscriptions that were delivered via the mail (snail mail that is). \u00a0At any rate, Netflix\u2019s video content service offers many benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Movies on demand.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Original Series<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile and convenient viewing, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we hardly use Netflix because of our subscription to cable television with all the bells and whistles, we still remain loyal to what Netflix offers and provides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WPdrFJ\"><b>Amazon Prime Video<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0I must say you can\u2019t go wrong with Amazon. \u00a0If you\u2019re a heavy user of Amazon and have an Amazon Prime subscription don\u2019t leave the video service laying on the table. \u00a0Amazon has tons of content offered via this service at no additional charge, from movies to shows and original content. In fact, it\u2019s the Amazon Original Series (like Netflix Originals) that got our attention. \u00a0Pamela and I actually enjoy Amazon\u2019s selections the most. But don\u2019t just take my word for it, try your own to see what works best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectrum.net\/SpectrumTVApp\"><b>Spectrum TV App<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0One of the most innovative services that the cable company (internet and phone company) offers is its TV app which is available on smart televisions &amp; devices, and mobile devices. \u00a0You can take your television viewing experience with you wherever you go without the hassle of another cable TV box. One of its best benefits is being able to add cable television to any room in your home without the hassle of running cable lines. \u00a0It\u2019s perfect for televisions mounted on walls. This app has transformed our home and made having cable television worth having again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TEEmSK\"><b>Firestick<\/b><\/a><b> and\/or <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roku.com\/\"><b>Roku<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0We\u2019ve been experimenting with these devices. \u00a0Let me go ahead and tip my hat.
