Cutting the COX Cable cord.....

[FighttheGoodFight]

I apologize if this question has already been asked - but if a person were going to cut the cable cord, what special equipment would you need? I have NETFLIX on my blu-ray player. I'm beginning to shop for a new laptop to replace my almost 6 year old one. Would the new laptop need anything over and above what most laptops come with? I saw something about the laptop needing something special to allow it to talk to your TV. Will I need a new TV? I have a 4 year old LG flat screen.

What services are you wanting to watch? Just netflix? The blu ray player is fine.

As for laptops anything is fine. Maybe get one with an HDMI out port so you can plug into your television.
