That said, I thought it would be useful to for those who have moved from traditional cable to streaming, no matter which internet provider they are using to give some experience, good or bad on which streaming service they have tried and are now using and why.
I know everyone likes to talk about the cheapest service but I want to focus on ease of transition and usability. Especially to gain some experience for those only used to using cable and now want to make the transition to streaming.
What I'm finding is "many" Villagers are using YouTube TV. This is all good but I find a lot of Villagers find it a huge transition to go with a service like this even though, at a high level, the interface is similar to what they had with cable. When I help someone "cut the cord" I usually recommend using a Roku 4K streaming stick with Voice and the long range wifi. Yesterday, I discovered while in YouTube TV you can use the Voice Remote on the Roku to search for channels.
Please post your experience and any "tips" you can share.

I’ve had cable forever and love all the local channels ABC etc and many of the other non premium channels. What streaming systems are available that meet my needs and what is the cost. I currently spend $180.00 a month for internet and tv on one tv. I have firesticks in 3 others and watch Xfinity streaming on them. Thanks
