When cutting the cord, you really need to determine which channels you watch and see if Roku TV or other free streaming services have the channels you normally watch. If you can live with Roku TV and or some free apps to get your content vs going with YouTube TV or Hulu for example, then you can really cut your monthy costs.
I know many like Xfinity because of the voice remote but Roku has the same thing if you get the device with voice.

I never got the whole Xfinity stream App thing. When we had Xfinity cable TV at our northern home I downloaded the App so we could watch TV through our Xfinity account via streaming at our Villages home, but it wouldn’t allow us to stream anywhere but our northern home. We already had cable hooked up on multiple TV’s at our northern home, so what good is an app that only lets us stream where we don’t need to?
We ended up cutting the cable with Xfinity (except for internet) and now subscribe to YouTube TV and use Roku devices on all TV’s and can stream at both locations. After carefully analyzing the pros and cons between HuLu and YouTube TV, it was a close call. We have been very happy with YouTube TV as their channel lineup fits our needs and the cloud based DVR is an excellent feature. Last winter we got locked out from streaming YouTube TV after three months at our Villages home and learned that you need to log in from your primary location every three months. A friend stopped by the house and logged in at our northern home and that reset the account so we could stream in the Villages again.
