Things You'll Need:

  • Internet
  • Adobe Flash Player (free)
  1. Step 1

    DOWNLOAD ADOBE FLASH PLAYER. In order to access your favorite shows online, you'll need to have the current version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer. Simply perform a Google search for "Adobe Flash Player Download" and follow the link to their website. This short download and easy installation is the first step to living without a cable television bill and still seeing the shows you love.

  2. Step 2

    VISIT THE CABLE NETWORK'S HOMEPAGE. Perform a Google search for the homepage of the networks that broadcast your favorite shows. Visit the network online. Most major networks provide online access to their most popular shows. You can see your favorite shows at your leisure without Cable Television bills. View the network's official page for the show you want to see to know if there is an online version available.

    VISIT YOUTUBE for CABLE FAVORITES. If the cable television program you love isn't available through the network's homepage, it may be available on YouTube. Members of YouTube often post entire episodes for other members to enjoy. Both common and obscure cable television shows are available on YouTube, so get searching.

on 12/19/2008 Very Interesting! I'm addicted to Cable, I feel like such a slave. If they doubled their fees I think I'd probably pay it. I'm really going to check into this though. Thanks for sharing :)
