One of the big knocks against cord-cutting, the act of ditching your $100-plus cable package forever, has been that you won’t actually save any money.

If you have to subscribe to everything a la carte, those $10-a-month subscriptions add up – plus you still have to pay for internet.

But with the release of DirecTV Now, AT&T’s new streaming TV service, it’s now possible to construct an ultimate entertainment bundle for about $63 a month. This includes services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime that many people pay for on top of their big cable packages anyway.

That’s a game changer.

This cord-cutter plan isn’t a skinny bundle of channels, but a robust lineup that will satisfy even the most voracious consumer of media. And it requires minimal up-front equipment costs to boot.

Here's a rundown:

The content

    DirecTV Now 100-plus-channel package: $35 a month. This package normally costs $60 per month, but if you order during the promotional pricing period, this lower price is locked in unless you cancel your subscription. The channel lineup is what you'd expect from a premium cable package - including FX, CNN, ESPN, and regional sports networks. HBO add-on to DirecTV Now: $5 a month. This gives you access to all HBO content on all your devices. It would cost you $14.99 a month if you bought it via HBO Now. Netflix: $9.99 a month. With Netflix diving deeper into original shows - 1,000 hours in 2017! - you're going to want to have an account moving forward, even with a TV package. Amazon Prime: $8.25 a month (at $99 a year), but let's say $4 is the value of the TV shows and movies. Prime also gives you things like free two-day shipping, music streaming, and an e-book library. Amazon has said it's ramping up its investment in original TV, and it just released Jeremy Clarkson's "The Grand Tour." Showtime add-on to Amazon Prime: $8.99 a month. This gives you access to all of Showtime's content, including series like "Shameless," "Homeland," "The Affair," and "Billions," as well as movies and documentaries. Broadcast channels: free. One bad thing about DirecTV Now is that AT&T hasn't yet signed up CBS, but you can still watch it for free with a digital antenna.

The equipment

    Digital antenna: about $25.Apple TV: free with three-month subscription to DirecTV Now. If you sign up for three months of DirecTV Now, you get Apple TV free. One month gets you an Amazon Fire Stick.

Final cost: around $63 per month

This all means that a cord-cutter can now reasonably construct an impressive entertainment bundle for about $63 per month, plus a $25 up-front investment for the digital antenna. Split it with a friend, roommate, or significant other, and that's $31.50 per month. (Note: You still have to pay for internet and have a TV, but these costs vary widely, so I won't try to estimate them here.)

There are also a few caveats to DirecTV Now, and it's definitely still a work in progress. For instance, there is no cloud DVR yet - in the next iteration, according to AT&T - or 4K support. But DirecTV Now lets you watch many shows on-demand and has a feature called "72-hour look-back" for watching shows that aired in the last 72 hours.
