Sucks that to have internet I still need to deal with the cable company. Unfortunately internet, phone and TV is just the right price that buying HBO, Showtime, etc seperately ends up being a wash.

Streaming prices are creeping up. Pay extra for 4k on Neflix F.O. seems like the market is normalizing.

I use this streaming service. It is the 21st century equivalent of the cable black box. I get all PPVs, all sports networks including regional locals, all of the sport specific services (NHL, MLB, NFL, NBA, F1, etc.), and all of the standard cable/broadcast TV stuff too. I stream through my firestick and take it with me when I travel.

Buddy has a service if you want to PM to share I'm curious if it's the same. Went back to the teet after Kodi went down.

Just bought a new tv and actually went $$$$ all in. Norm would be a $800 tv
Needed a smart TV to help prep for cutting my $300 cable bill
It has the 4k/ Dolby Vision decoder.

I still retain my HBO+, Netflix, and Discovery+ subscriptions. But inadvertently, I will no longer buy 4kHD disks either because all 3 of those packages broadcast most of the good stuff in Dolby Vision.

Wife is work from home no data limit/free internet, company pays for it

My tv is a 77" LG OLED, 15' stand off. $2800.00

I have had youtube TV for years, with no issue. Until now, terrible time of the year to loose ESPN. Hopefully an agreement is reached soon!

I use a Roku and pay for Fubo TV through the Roku. Lots of free programs through Roku. The Roku is $4.95 per month and for Fubo TV is about $50 per month and pretty much has everything I want.

I have YouTube TV as well. ESPN and Disney channels are gone. Honestly, I don't really care, with the one exception below. And I don't watch Disney channels. I'll take the $15 monthly credit they're giving for as long as ESPN is out of the lineup. Actually, the only sport events I can't miss are the CFL Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl on December 31st, followed by the National Championship game on January 10th. On ESPN. So I might have to do a trial with Fubo or Hulu. I have a feeling that an agreement will be made before the 31st. There are about 4 million YouTube TV subscribers and the advertisers for those Bowl games and the Championship don't want to lose a million+ viewers. JMO.
