Cutting the cable cord

I have no idea what you all are talking about....... I'll stick with cable and just watch network TV over it. The only streaming I do is midnight runs to the bathroom (thank God).
KISS principle for those of us who are 'slow'.

Streaming's THE way to go these days. Even far out in the country were we live, there's very rarely any service issues, thanks to nearby cell towers. And, we have far, FAR more content available through our ROKU than the DirecTV...Which goes out every time there's a little rain in the area.
 
It is my understanding that OTA recording is going copy protected and DVRs will not work. I may be wrong. We dropped Spectrum which charged for 3 boxes. a wifi which sucked, and $15 extra for local channels. Half the time the DVR didn't work. And when it did you couldn't watch a recording in another room, only the room the DVR was in (we at one time had whole house TV but Spectrum dropped that). We especially wanted to DVR the local news. YoutubeTV allows us to record anything with an excellent DVR, no charge for local channels and recorded shows are kept for many months. We use a Roku on each TV except for one that we used a firestick. YoutubeTV gives a 1 month free easy cancel if you don't like. It isn't perfect, but better than cable. You need a good wifi, usually not the one from your internet provider. We use TP Link mesh which gives whole house coverage for us.
 
Yes we are seriously thinking about it this year just want to find a good Wi-Fi company
About 4 years ago I changed my cell provider to T-mobile. As a senior I get 2 lines for $100 a month unlimited internet, calls and txts, AND 50 GIGS of wifi hotspot using my phone for my tablet and PC.

I have dropped Youtube TV at $73.00 and added Sling Blue + movie upgrade at $46.00 and I get Fox News and TCM + a bunch of other stuff on my Roku. I figure savings of about $85.00 monthly over Spectrum Choice ..
