About Grounded Reason

Updated on 2023-12-18 By Dennis Restauro

Our Mission

Since its inception in 2014, Grounded Reason has kept its readers informed on the latest and best ways to watch their favorite TV shows and movies using streaming services, streaming devices, and a reliable home network. We do the research, so you don’t have to.

Our Promise

Unlike many websites designed to generate clicks and sell you products. Grounded Reason is run by cord-cutters for cord-cutters. We test all products firsthand, and you can trust our reviews, guides, and opinions, which are built from our firsthand experience using the product and are not influenced by marketing or PR firms.

Our History

Dennis Restauro started Grounded Reason in 2014 to provide readers with straightforward explanations of tech products used to stream TV and movies at home affordably. When Grounded Reason began in 2014, consumers could not stream live television channels in their homes. The website focused on this topic to provide users with information to create their own home media streaming library.

A year later, in 2015, Sling TV started streaming cable channels online. Soon DIRECTV followed along with Hulu, FuboTV, and Google’s YouTube TV. Grounded Reason shifted coverage to provide news and information to navigate the new media landscape. In 2017 and 2018, we released 70 episodes of the Grounded Reason Podcast to provide more ways of informing would-be cord-cutters.

To this day, Grounded Reason provides its readers with guidance to watch their favorite TV shows and movies, find affordable internet access, find the right TV streaming services and devices, and have an efficient home network to handle the modern-day demands of streaming video.

Dennis is the founder and editor-in-chief at Grounded Reason. He and his family dropped their cable subscription in 2012 to save money. As a network and system administrator, Dennis conducted in-depth research and analysis on what were the best (and worst) ways to cut the cord on cable using over-the-air and streaming technology.

After seeing how much more enjoyable their TV viewing was without cable, Dennis wanted to share his cord-cutting experience and expertise with the world. In 2014, Dennis started Grounded Reason to inform TV fans everywhere how they could cut the cord on cable.

Since then, his cord-cutting and tech expertise has been leveraged by The Washington Post, Readers Digest, Kiplinger, The Fiscal Times, podcasts, and other media.

Before writing about cutting the cord and using technology to save you money, Dennis spent 20 years working in the tech sector. Over that time, he has spent time as a Unix System Admin, and Systems Analyst, and as an enterprise architect within the U.S. government.
