Not possible since many were from commercial channels or not available any more. So, tomorrow I plan to bid Comcast adieu. We could return to Direct Tv but we also need internet and a landline. How is Spectrum? We are not interested in “cutting the cord” or some of the other methods some people choose to use. My sister did that and by the time she subscribed to the streaming services, it costs her more than before and she has less. I think Spectrum and Direct Tv are the only options for where we live. Looking for feedback from people who use either of those. Thanks.
We have xFinity thru Comcast (internet only) and are more than satisfied. Lightning quick and the tech support to date has been good the only two times I needed to contact them. We also have Amazon Prime and they usually have a (fairly) good selection of movies, YouTube has a vast and increasing amount of stuff, we have one of those Roku thingies (one-time expense) and a good digital antenna will pull in a lot of local channels for news, stuff of interest locally, etc. Total breakdown is that we pay less than $90 per month for far more TV than we could ever watch.

The only fly in the ointment so far is that xFinity charges $100 per service call, which seems like a lot, though in fairness the tech stayed with it for over four hours until he figured out what was wrong.
