Legal Pay Per View without Cable

The movie fans out there in cord cutter world might want to know that they can get new release online. If you had a cable subscription and rented movies on demand you can still get your fix. The quality of the video depends on what service you use and what equipment you connect to your television.

If you own an Apple TV 2 then you know it's easy to just rent HD content through your iTunes account. The price is about the same as what the cable company charges. There are also some other services online that allow the rental of new movies. You will need to check the device you have to see if any services are pre-installed. The Boxee Box uses VUDU and many other devices also connect to VUDU.

If you rent a few movies a month through the local video store or on demand then the convince of renting through a media streaming device can be super easy. You can also find large selection that your cable provider might not even carry. On average I have rented a couple of new releases each month through my Apple TV 2 and the experience is excellent. Keep in mind this is not about saving money as the rental costs are set by the movie studios and stay about the same through the different services. It's more about convenience and finding new content online without a cable subscription. It's also away for those who do subscribe to cable to pass the cable company and go somewhere else for your entertainment needs.
