Are These Cord Cutting Deals Still Worth It?
Cord cutting deals are limited-time discounts on streaming devices and over-the-air DVRs that make it cheaper to replace traditional pay-TV with internet-based and antenna-delivered entertainment services. Even though Prime Day is over, the standout bargains on Roku Ultra, Google TV Streamer 4K, and Tablo’s 4th Gen DVRs are still live and, in our view, worth grabbing before they disappear. The renewed Roku Ultra at USD 59.99 (approx. RM280) delivers 4K streaming with premium features at a clear-value price, while Tablo knocking USD 30 (approx. RM140) off every 4th Gen DVR model makes this one of the strongest OTA DVR offers around. These streaming device sales extend the spirit of Prime Day bargains a little longer, but stock and promos will not last indefinitely.
Quick price snapshot: Roku Ultra (renewed) is USD 59.99 (approx. RM280); Google TV Streamer 4K is USD 74.99 (approx. RM350); Tablo 4th Gen DVR starts at USD 69.95 (approx. RM330) and every model is USD 30 (approx. RM140) off its usual price.
Roku Ultra (Renewed): Best Cheap High-End Streamer?
The renewed Roku Ultra is still one of the sharpest Roku Ultra discounts you can grab: it is offered at USD 59.99 (approx. RM280). For that, you get ultra-high-definition output up to 4K plus immersive audio support for a more cinematic living-room setup. The included voice remote speeds up searches and menu hopping, and its headphone jack enables late-night private listening without bothering anyone else. A wired Ethernet port keeps streams steady, while support for expandable storage helps if you like to download content. If you want a fast, reliable streamer with a straightforward interface and wide app support, this is a strong value play among remaining Prime Day bargains. As a renewed unit, it has been inspected and tested to work like new, but you still pay considerably less than a typical premium box.
Google TV Streamer 4K: All-Rounder for Streaming Apps
If you want a flexible streaming hub with a modern interface, the Google TV Streamer 4K remains a compelling buy in these streaming device sales. It is currently priced at USD 74.99 (approx. RM350). This compact streamer supports a large library of apps from major providers and plays content in crisp 4K resolution with advanced picture-quality formats for colorful, detailed images on compatible TVs. The Google TV interface pulls recommendations based on what you watch, making it easier to find something new without digging through menus. Voice control lets you search and launch content hands-free, and setup is simple via Wi-Fi or Ethernet for stable performance. As one source notes, “at this reduced price point, it represents an outstanding opportunity to upgrade or initiate a streaming-focused lifestyle”.
Tablo 4th Gen DVR: Save on Free Over-the-Air TV
For anyone leaning into free broadcast channels, Tablo’s 4th Gen DVR line is where the most meaningful savings sit right now. Tablo has slashed USD 30 (approx. RM140) off every one of its 4th Gen DVR models, and one of those fourth-generation units is available for USD 69.95 (approx. RM330). A Tablo DVR turns a standard antenna into a whole-home TV system: it pulls in free local channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, The CW, and more (where available), and streams them to compatible devices around your home over Wi-Fi. You can pause, rewind, and replay live TV, and choose between 2-tuner and 4-tuner models depending on how many channels you want to record at once. It also adds access to more than 125 free streaming channels alongside your locals. There are no cable subscriptions and no monthly DVR fees, making these “some of the best OTA DVR deals” recently seen.
These remaining Prime Day bargains on Tablo, Roku Ultra, and Google TV Streamer collectively cover on-demand streaming, premium playback, and free local channels, and their current pricing reflects ongoing promotions that extend beyond the official Prime Day window. If you have been putting off cord cutting or upgrading your setup, this is a good moment to act before the pricing resets or stock tightens.
