I'm a snowbird and had Spectrum in The Villages and in Ohio. Both were costing over $240 each - same story. I renegotiated my internet only with Spectrum for a year at $49+tax/month. For TV I chose to buy Amazon FireSticks for all TV's, even the non-Smart TV's. They now work as a smart TV and are very fast. Even the Smart TV's now work better with FireSticks. The Tv's must have an HDMI port.
As for TV, I chose YouTube TV over Hulu, which are similar in order to have the regular channels.
Once I had that setup, I went to other apps like Netflix, Max & Paramount+ and signed up on their websites and paid directly there.
One very nice thing about the setup is that the same setup works in the Florida home and the Ohio home. I just have to pay for internet in both locations, not YouTube TV and not the apps. There's no other costs to the Firesticks after purchase, just YouTubeTV $69.70/month and then any apps you choose.
Also, the Firesticks will automatically update and you can load about every app onto it. You can setup a profile to your liking and once my wife and I became familiar with them, we love it.
