All of the different alternatives/options are in their infancy. Like the cable business did, they will get bigger, they will standardize offerings, hence more stuff one doesn't need, new equipment to service the growth all resulting in increasing prices....see Direct TV Now changes.

I am one of those who would like an alternative but have not found any one or combination that offers the convenience of current cable/satellite capability.

It will shake out and the new and better will evolve.

I agree that things will change with cable and streaming. Instead of waiting, I cut the cord and went with DirectTvNow. Even with their proposed $10 month increase, I'm saving $80 month over cable. There's no contract with the streamers, so I can cancel at any time. So I can easily go to another streamer or back to cable if their costs drop. In the meantime, I'm saving a lot of money.
