You might look into streaming for your cable needs.

With the right comb you can get everything your getting from Cable TV at a fraction to no monthly cost depending on your needs and only cost could be internet.
Netflix, Amazon prime, hulu, ect, have monthly fees that you can eliminate with right set up.

Look into open air antenna for local stations either attic, outside, or small individual units for each TV. You can find alot of info in forums on open air antenna's and streaming options.

I reccommend an Amazon Firestick. Been using for several years and able to travel with you if your a snowbird. Reccommend 50Mbps or higher to eliminate buffering issues.

With a smart TV (but not needed with Firestick), streaming device and open air antenna you do not need Cable.

Read forum posts on cutting the cable and firestick for more info.
