We have Roku on all our televisions. We have subscriptions for:

Hulu + Showtime (would be considered our "main" viewing service)
Sling Blue
Amazon Prime Video
CBS All Access
Disney+
NFL Game Pass (to watch the Packers at home)
Netflix

The combination of all the above services gives us all the regular programming we were watching with cable. The only channel we do not have is The Weather Channel, which my wife misses.

We had Amazon Prime, Netflix, and NFL Game Pass before we quit cable. I start and stop Showtime, CBS All Access and Disney+ subscriptions after we've watched the season of our program(s).

You get 50 hours of recording with Hulu and 50 with Sling. We have found it to be adequate.

Cut the cable a few month ago. We have UTubeTV which gives us the live local channels, golf, espn, movie chanels, tnt, etc, etc. We also have Netflix and Amazon firestick. We feel we are saving money and no longer have the hassle every year when your promo bundle runs out. More tv than we need but we really enjoy it all.

Amazon Prime Video
NFL Sunday Ticket
Netflix
YouTubeTV
Peacock - Right now just for Yellowstone
Stream through smart TVs and a Roku on older set

We use Amazon, Netflix, and Philo. We save about $130 per month over when we had Xfinity cable. We continue to use Xfinity WiFi & lease their modem with unlimited data $118 per month for 600mbs. We are still looking at a OTA antenna installer so we can get local channels. We have firestick & roku. There are several free services if you jailbreak your fire stick. A great source for info is Troy Point TV.

Where/how do you get internet access for $20 month?

I use Roku as my WiFi interface on the 3 TVs. You can also use Chromecast. You can use the AirTV device as a stand-alone for the OTA channels without Sling. Works great! I’m very pleased.

Plus we share accounts with our daughter on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Not to mention using Pluto, Crackle and Peacock among other free services available on Roku.

You could do this as a business. Few people know how to put this all together. I had an antenna "expert" come to my house in the northern Villages, and with a roof antenna, he could pull in only one station. We do have a lot of trees.

Im amazed at all the services that people are streaming and subscribing , where do you get the time to watch all these channels? I have direct tv because the only thing I’ve ever bought is NFL ticket , my TV never goes on before 7 pm except for football , I listen to music and read newspapers in morning and then I’m out to gym . , , I I watch taped network news and some PBS news maybe a couple of shows if I’m home, and a movie from TCM after 12 at night . I just can’t figure out how you all are watching all these sites , for me as long as I have TCM I’ll always have enough to watch

Watch for sales on Black Friday and Christmas. Nice, smart, flat-screened TV's are now dirt cheap. You can easily pay for them with the money you save on cable.

YouTube TV has a pretty workable DVR function, but only for shows through them.

You could add "Frndly" for $5.99 per month. It includes "The Weather Channel" and 14 other channels.

What internet do you use for $20 a month?

[lmack]

Hulu for main stations, Netflix and Amazon for series and movies. If not using a smart tv, we access using an Amazon firestick (so we can utilize our Amazon prime tv account).
We just did this a couple months ago and the TV farthest from the router does occasionally experiences brief pauses. If anyone else has experienced this, please advise if you upgraded wifi or if a booster/extender solved the issue. I haven't tried either yet.

Netflix, Amazon and many other free apps CW ABC and others news etc - as long as it's free through Roku or Amazon.

Stopped using fire stick. When the cable company (Spectrum) modulates the quoted speed from 100mbps to 10 or less it circles the drain and doesn't work sometimes not at all. Of course the company says they don't do this but every time I call it gets resolved for about a month until the next automatic company down throatle
