This is not true. We cut the cord 7 years ago with an over-the-antenna and some streaming services accessed via Roku boxes. It was ready for prime time 7 years ago which is why we did it. Today we actually use YouTubeTV for the local channels, and many others, and have stopped using the over-the-air antenna. You would be hard pressed to notice any real differences between "cable" and streaming via the internet, except for the fact that we have a lot more choices at a much lower cost. I know several "technically challenged" folks who had no trouble cutting the cord.
