The Cost of Cable vs A La Carte

Combining current streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access and the expected price of HBO's service would run you about half of the average price of monthly cable and satellite television service. If you're a sports fan, sorry, the streaming services won't do it for you alone. But adding an a la carte option to your basic cable subscription might offer you more choice than buying up on the next rung of your cable or satellite service.
