For special shows we have YouTube tv, which you can pause. You pay when you use it. Internet is now from Verizon ($55/mo). Xfinity still calls but at $190/ mon and rising they were outrageous.
Xfinity has internet services for as little as $9 per month. A ROKU stick is $30. There are numerous free apps for ROKU that have free entertainment.
Several are in posts in this thread.

Hardly anyone needs those ridiculously high speed plans costing enormous amounts.

Firesticks are ok but Amazon uses them to bombard you with Ads.

Antenna Tv is great also. Even better if you have a DVR (e.g. Tablo, Silicon Dust, etc.)
