When I request other apps like Netflix, UTube, Hulu etc, the TV goes to third party and allows access.

Has anyone experienced this condition and how do you get by this hurdle?

My ultimate goal is to switch off of Xfinity, but wanted to keep it while I test the proposed change.

My Xfinity boxes are attached to HDMI port 1. Is it as simple as disconnecting the Xfinity box. I have also installed Firestick controls but they have limited functionality when Xfinity box is installed.
Verizon will throttle you once you hit a data cap. This is easy to do if you are using it as a hotspot to stream TV and Movies. Not sure about T-Mobile. Something to look into.

I recently got rid of Xfinity internet and TV. Went to fiber optic and YouTube TV. Paying about $150/month. I work remotely so need high-speed Internet 24/7/365.
