We are streaming with Roku due to the cost of Direct TV, this past month they upped our bill by yet another $10 without having the decency to tell us why.

My husband is not a techie so I had to do this all on my onsie. I researched everything available and settled on YouTubeTV and if you go to tv.youtube.com/settings/liveguide you can set up your channel line up to just the channels you want to watch. I then found Pluto (which is FREE) and you can set that up in a similar manner.

Now I have two major streaming channels and we are going to add a couple of personal choices which will cost us a minimal amount each month.

There is a learning curve, but I did it and if I can anyone can! We are saving almost $200 per month at the moment, but this will change next year when prices start to go up. Still cheaper than cable.

If I had a viable choice though, I would opt for a cable streaming program and add ons. There are features in the cable that we miss, or rather my husband misses.
