Francis Kong used to spend US$50 (RM223) a month for a cable TV subscription. Then, tired of paying for something he used sporadically, he quit. 

These days, the Alameda resident spends about US$8 (RM35) for a monthly Netflix subscription, which allows him to get TV shows like Daredevil. He also watches Supergirl for free on the CW network's site. For culinary inspiration, instead of the Food Network, he takes his smartphone into the kitchen and streams cooking videos on YouTube.
