By now you must have heard of the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, Stephen Colbert taking David Letterman's spot on "The Late Show," the phenomenal new Amazon Fire device and the hype surrounding "Orange Is the New Black." But what does all this TV chatter mean for you?

The media landscape has changed a lot in recent years, with streaming services (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, etc.) getting prominent recognition and even awards. When that's the case, you have to ask yourself, is cable still right for you? Or maybe you just want to minimize your bills, but don't know enough about the alternatives to make a decision.
