I cancelled Comcast last week except for internet. I bought a Roku streaming stick plus (on sale at Walmart online) and subscribed to YouTubetv. YouTubetv has the unlimited DVR. I also used the Roku channel store to download some other free channels (apps) such as the PBS station. Would advise going to suppose.tv.com (note dot after suppose). Select the channels that you must have and a chart will advise which streaming service and the cost that meets your needs.
It was easy to do by myself...just follow the directions once you load the stick although yesterday I helped a neighbor set up his Roku and today he bought a second one for his other home.
My niece cut her cable a couple weeks ago and first tried Sling but switched to Hulu. All the services have free trials so you can try them before you subscribe. It is very individual. I also enabled Amazon Prime and Netflix on my Roku. The Roku itself has many free movies and TV shows. There are many videos and instructions on line. I also have an earlier generation Apple TV.
I have a 55 inch Samsung and the picture is better through the Roku than it was on cable.
If you really don’t think you can’t do it yourself, you might contact The Villages computer club. They usually have a member that makes “house calls” for technical issues. Very reasonable rates. I decided to cut the cord after attending one of the club’s workshops.
I think of cable and satellite TV as dinosaurs lumbering off into the past. I am saving a hundred dollars a month and I am not renting cable boxes, digital boxes, DVRs etc or paying the high taxes and fees, although you will need a pretty good internet connection.
Good luck and remember it is not that difficult.
