Do you remember the good old days when the family would sit together in the living room, eyes laser-focused on the television while dad grinned and changed the channel?
After years of being glued to the television set in your living room (or wherever it might have been), you've decided to take the plunge. You've pulled the (metaphorical) scissors from the drawer and cut the cord that has tied you to the traditional video content providers.

Cord Cutter Central began as a personal project to find online television and video programming more quickly and easily than through the traditional approaches (e.g., using a search engine or saving myriad bookmarks in a browser) and evolved into something more.
