Sigh ... I guess a little education is called for here. YouTubeTV offers the network channels, has a DVR (recording capability), and is just as convenient as any "cable" service since it has a programming guide that is the equivalent of what "cable" provides. Other services such as Netflix don't need a DVR since they are "on-demand". Netflix has an excellent user interface with search capabilities and preferences. An HDMI stick is all you need as long as you have a TV with an HDMI port. For those with an older set, a Roku box with composite video is available. I am happy that you enjoy overpaying.

Good luck, and I hope you save a good amount of money. As far as “like to overpay” the old adage you get what you pay for comes to mind. I enjoy the convenience, so I don’t appreciate your snarky remark.
