Only if you have a smart TV that has the YouTubeTV app. Otherwise, you will need a streaming device like Apple TV. But, I would have preferred buying a Roku streaming device , which I think is the best device for streaming.

Apple TV is a streaming device like a Roku streaming stick. If your TV is a smart tv, then it has built in streaming apps. If one of those apps is YouTube TV, or the tv allows you to add the app, then you would not need a streaming device. If not, you will need a streaming device to access the app. I think Apple TV will work for you, but, I wouldn't be paying a monthly subscription fee to use the Apple TV. Also, if you buy another streaming device, I would recommend a Roku device, which I think is superior to Apple TV.

Give up the phone and you can get Xfinity internet for about $40 - $50 per month. If you don't already have a mobile phone, you can add that through Xfinity for $15/month which includes unlimited voice/talk and 1GB data.

But, apparently, she doesn't have any HDMI ports.

How many Mbps to do the job.
The problem with Comcast is that you always get less than you pay for. I could probably pay $10.00 a month less but I would get less. I am paying for a 100 Mbps and get 72. I can run three TVs, three compuers, 2 phones , an Echo and a firestick without any problems; and additional devices simultaneously when I have overnight guests. I think that 30 Mbps would be fine for most households.

Yup. I'm a networking professional and have been for 30+ years. Most people drastically overestimate their bandwidth needs.
4k streams require about 25mbits. Anyone paying for this here in TV because it costs extra? I bet it's negligible. Every other 1080p stream is 4-8mbits. Our NJ house was 15mbits until last year and we've been streaming for a long time. Our TV house was 25mbits for the first year, $20/month on the intro plan and everything worked just fine. Now it's 100mbit for $40 only because they don't offer something cheaper. |

Youtube.TV
I cut the cord years ago with local antenna. When youtube.tv showed up, I signed up. Have Centurylink for 80 mbps cost $45.00 all in.
However, youtbue.tv increased to $65. combined with internet cost, I'm right back, $ wise, where I was with Infinity $110. No real advantage today. |

Modem/router?
Hi, couldn't figure out where to ask this. Am moving back to TV to a new house. Want to cut cable cord. Looks like best internet deal for me is Xfinity's $25/mo. deal. To do this without their equipment do I need both my own router and own modem? If so, which do you recommend. I will arrive on Thursday night, so plan on ordering their service to start Friday if possible. I already have Netflix, Prime and a chromecast device. Thanks.

You should also consider the Xfinity Mobile cell phone service that is a great deal and uses the Verizon network. My cell phone bill is only $13.64 per month, with unlimited talk and text and up to 1gb of mobile data. Way cheaper than the regular Verizon cell phone plans. |
