A Roku stick costs about $50 but I purchased three for $29.99 each on sale. Centrylink fiber is $65 a month forever or you can go a bit slower for $45 a month forever. There are thousands of movies FREE via Roku. You can use LoCast.org to pick up a slew of local stations LIVE for free. I get probably 25 stations broadcasting....or more. I pay for YoutubeTV because it has unlimited DVR recording and I can watch a lot of stuff that way, by fastForwarding through the commercials. Yes, YoutubeTV went up to $70 mo because they added more networks and they had to pay for the additional networks. If you don't like that, you can pay about $20 mo using one of the other streaming networks on your Roku. My daughter shares her PrimeVideo with us so we can get some newer stuff. Plus we can rent videos via RedBox with the Roku or several other networks that rent out movies. If you like just about any subject, you can hook up with Roku either free or sometimes with a one time registration of a buck. Old movies, westerns, auto shows, gun shows, cooking shows, etc. Hundreds of times more than you get with cable.
I was paying over $225 a month for comcast, including Internet. It kept going up and there was something like 13 fees and taxes tacked on. If I want HBO, I subscribe to it and I can quit on line instantly without talking to anyoone. Same with Stars, or any other subscribed network. Just click on it and turn it off. Simple.
