The reason why I'm interested is because as people move to the Villages, we are seeing a different generation of individuals who already stream and only need internet service vs a cable box system. But there are still many who come from a generation of cable TV with cable boxes, want to reduce their monthy bill and need help understanding what streaming is and how to make the transition if they want to.

There's nothing complicated about it.
"Cable" or "Internet Providers" provide the access, other sources provide "content".
Picture it as a company puts a 8" conduit under your land and you pay for that and you get to put as many "wires" through it, as you want. Internet provides the "conduit" (you pay for it), then you pay for whatever other wires (content) you want or need.
The only thing that changes from your previous "cable provider", is your content comes over the Internet, instead of a physical cable.
Various providers offer "packages", just like your old Cable company did. YouTube, Hulu, Sling, Peacock, Amazon Prime, Netflx.
