You're going to say whatever offer is more attractive perhaps?

Seriously. Step 1. Cancel cable. Step 2. Install Roku or whatever. Step 3. Determine which apps are desirable.

All assuming a smart TV however? One I have is and the other is not.

Again, forgive the naive questions. And all the advice here is extraordinary. Thank you.
If you have a current 2 year agreement with Xfinity, you can just downgrade to the "internet only" service to avoid an early termination penalty. You will need a Roku or other type of streaming stick for the non-smart TV. Then, subscribe to a streaming service. I would suggest using the website, "suppose.tv" which is a free site to determine which streaming services you may want to get and the cost.
