YouTube TV is great - you should try it. We get all the Orlando locals while in Florida, and watch the NY locals when we move north for the Summer. You can watch on your computer, cell phone or TV through a $30 Roku Express streamer. They have a great cloud-based DVR feature with unlimited storage. Cancel your bundle and re-subscribe to the best internet-only deal you can get. If you need a home phone, you can buy a OOMA box for less than $100 and pay only state tax (less than $5) for unlimited calls each month (you can port your existing phone number to the OOMA box for about $40). You can also get all the local networks with a roof antenna, but it's not as complete as YouTube TV. There is also Hulu, Philo, SlingTV and DirectTV now if you want to try other streaming TV services. No contracts, no cable guy showing up!
