Hulu live has local channels it is $54.99/mo. I get Disney+ and ESPN live included with that price also there's DVR included which goes to the cloud. If you can get a jailbroke firestick that is the way to go.

We switched to YouTube TV over 3 yrs ago. Use Roku sticks. $55/mo. Had YTTV in Minnesota and when we changed our address to our home here we started getting the local channels here. You can record all the programs you want to watch later. You can watch YTTV on all your devices!

We have been streaming with Hulu for 6 months now. Our fee is 50.00 per month and we receive all the locals as well. Their customer service people are amazing and very helpful walking you through the setup and how to use the remote.

The price recently went up. Actually now that I think about it, youtube tv gave existing customers the old price for a couple months. The price increase won’t take effect for those customers until their next billing cycle on or after July 30. New customers get the price increase right away.

Maybe consider over the air antenna?

We had one installed on a pole next to our house and paired it with a TabloTV to add a DVR for all local channels plus can add commercial skipping. After the initial cost for the antenna and the TabloTV you the cost is extremely negligible for the commercial skipping. All other streaming options will cost far more than the antenna and DVR in a very short time.

I have been searching for NewsOn on Roku, but cannot find it. I have a Roku box and Roku Premiere sticks on my other TVs. Any suggestions for me as I would really like to download local news for here and for my home in NH. Thanks.

Sorry Bruce: After writing for help I did what I should have done in the first place and searched on line for NewsOn. Of course, I found it in Roku, signed on and downloaded it. THANK YOU, GREAT SITE.

Go to Amazon and type in Indoor Television Antenna. You will find a lot of options under $40 for a one time purchase. These are less than a foot square and flat, and they just plug into your television. They let you pick up all the local stations for miles around, just like outdoor antennas used to do. I’d go for the more powerful ones to pick up Orlando or Tampa. There are also versions you can mount in your attic or on a wall or table in your lanai.

If you have concrete walls, they may not work too well indoors, except in the attic. I’m not sure.

Default we joined you

Cut cord as well. We believe You Tube TV is best offering at this time. Roughly $71 all in per month and they offer a 14-day trial run to test drive it if have any doubts. Good luck.

There's no even discussion. It should be obvious that YTTV offers much more. The only fact that you can watch it on different devices slams any other network. Even if you lurk for the stats on the web, you'll find our that people switch to yttv

Yes but added 8 more channels. Still the best service including DVR capability and skipping commercials for recorded shows.
