You will probably find that HuluLive (HL) and YouTubeTV YTTV) services are the closest you can get to cable service. Each has advantages. This month we switched away from HL due to some performance issues we were seeing (YMMV).

For movies and exclusive series you will want to look at Netflix.

We have found a lot to watch on Peacock.

You can subscribe to Disney+, Max (was HBO), and Showtime a la carte or as addons to either HL or YTTV to consolidate billing.

Why do all that? I pay 159/yr and get all that and more. no DVR but that can be taken care of for a couple hundred.

And why be mysterious and not let everyone know how your services are configured. . if you think that your way is the best?

Almost definitely pirated. I had a response to a similar claim in this post from another thread.

The one drawback is I cannot record although that may be a capability in the future.

I second Omnivision. $1 per day. All network and all cable channels. All movie channels, ALL pro and NCAA sporting events, all TV series, hundreds of movies including NETFLIX. Plus you can add any pay or other services you want to the Firestick. Why pay more for less?

The great thing about YouTube TV is that is has unlimited DVR. The recordings stay for 9 months and then are deleted.

Went to Walmart bought a onetime price of Roku $29.00. Plug into the back of TV, sign in online also Peacock $ 29.00 a year.

The law on illegal IPTV in the United States

The major law covering copyright infringement in the US is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, originally passed in 1998. The DMCA enforces penalties and fines against anyone who provides copyrighted content on the internet without the appropriate license. However, streaming was something of a loophole in the DMCA, as the terms of the law only applied to DOWNLOADS.
In other words I can watch MLB. NFL NBA streaming shows on any devise it's just that I can't record them.

Does Omnivision (or any other streaming service) provide the morning news programming from ABC, CBS, or NBC affiliates in Orlando? I travel there frequently and like getting the weather & traffic reports from them in the morning

HuluLive and YouTubeTV provide local channels just as if you had cable. I believe that we are in the Orlando region so we would get Orlando channels here.

You think it only applies to downloads? You better brush up on the law and be using a VPN and virtual card to pay for the gray market service you have. It's pirated.

The frustrating thing about streaming is that they just drop shows or switch them to another service where you have to pay. We get used to watching a series and then it becomes unavailable. I think we switched streaming services 3 times to see all the episodes of Midsomer Murders.

Your question raises an interesting issue I get into. We switch between Indiana and Florida, 6 months each. YTTV asks that you declare your "home" location which you can change I believe only twice/year. For ex...I'm in Indiana now and have set my home location here. I can watch the local channels, no problem, I can record them as well. So I can record a Colts game and start watching it shortly after and while the game is still on. Now when we go to Florida in October -- if I switch my "home" location to TV, then I can no longer record a Colts game unless it is nationally televised..... but I can record and watch in session a Bucs game that is televised on Orlando station. Now where it gets tricky--In October we return to our Florida house and I do not change my home location of my YTTV account. Viola (sort of), I can record a Colts game televised in Indiana (IF I've set it up as a favorite to record anytime televised) -- catch is that I cannot watch the recording "in session" but have to wait until the scheduled end of the game. After about 3 months of being out of "home" location, YTTV starts making me declare my status as just travelling in order to start watching PLUS I cannot record a program broadcast from Orlando station if I've previously set it up to record in Indiana. So I max out the time I can watch "out of home location" and finally surrender in Jan-Feb to really being in Florida (YTTV finally catches me.)

Sorry for the long-winded explanation, but it does get tricky to manage with the moving back and forth. Keeps me mentally young I guess. But we do like YTTV.
