One advice of my kids I cut my cords in Feb 2012 & have never looked back. When something is happening "live" I use YouTube & the rest is just up to what you prefer to watch. At the moment I have Xfinity & streaming Netflix, Amazon & HBO is enough "entertainment" but there is also Hulu, for even more programs that you normally see on cable. I use Roku & some people use a device called a "Fire Stick"which is similar. But the Smart T.V.s now have many of the apps built into them.
Probably the two biggest drawbacks are you'll have to search for live sports games (i.e. Super Bowl) but I believe there are ways to get those too for a reasonable fee. Also you may to wait a few hours to view a program that played that day on cable, which is no problem for me.

It has saved me at least 90% of what cable cost which really adds up!

AND the very best thing - almost NO ADS to sit thru!
Good luck & have fun!
