Buy a Roku 4k off Amazon or Walmart if you prefer. It plugs into an HDMI port on your tv. (It comes with a voice remote and costs about $40 (one time purchase)
Register the Roku (you have to give it access to your Wi-Fi.)
On your phone or computer go to youtubetv.com (they have a 2 week trial and 3 month discount going). It will cost you about $70 a month with tax. Gets all local channels plus a ton of other stuff. The full list is on their website.
Once you open the youtubetv app on the Roku, follow the on screen instructions. There are tons of help faq’s on both Roku and YoutubeTV sites to help. It’s really easy.
Watch tv! You can put a ROKU on each tv and use your login to watch on any TV or computer with no extra charge.
You can add things like HBO, etc, but be careful, you can run your monthly bill up pretty quickly at $10 a month for most of those services.
Exactly! However you don't need a Roku box if you have a Smart TV. Almost every brand will have the YouTube-TV app in their "store". Free download and free trial. We found YouTube-TV to be very good alternative to "ComCrashed".
Soon Sattelite Broadband will be available. For the first few years your $80/mo internet bill will be only $40/mo as they try to build their customer base.
