What do you like ?
What has more bang for your buck ?
I already have Amazon & Paramount
I have Philo and another one I don’t watch
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

My sister-in-law just hooked my parents-in-law up with Frndly TV. https://try.frndlytv.com/They also just started converting them over to YouTube TV so they can get away from Xtream and Mediacom for their TV and internet (the plan is to change to a different internet provider as well) to minimize the monthly expense and so that they can watch more of the things they actually like.

When I dumped spectrum I got Youtube TV and am pleased with it. Closest thing to cable in my opinion with local channels included too.

I had Frndly TV and Philo is way better to me for $25 a month.
Pluto tv is FREE with around 300 channels including Andy Griffith and Gunsmoke which are on 24/7.

I got this link from here. It's free, I've had issues casting to the TV but worth a try. https://thetvapp.to/

Pluto is free and the Pluto live tv has a ton of stuff to watch. Older and new and it's all free.

I like Frndly, slightly less than $10/month. Unlimited DVR recordings, but you can only keep the recordings for 3 months. It has MeTV, MeTV Toons and MeTV+, INSP, Grit and more outdoor (hunting and fishing) channels than I had when I had cable. Roku live tv, Tubi and Pluto are free. I like to watch channel 334 on Roku live TV, Death Valley Days, 24/7.

Good line up of channels including your local channels. Also has all the channels that carry SEC football plus a lot of other games from all over the country. It wouldn't work as your primary network but for old movies and tv shows check out Pluto Tv. It's free. They do show commercials but the movies they show are not edited for content. Hard to beat for free.

I just got WOW internet and Youtube TV last week when I moved. About 5:45 yesterday afternoon I was looking at the internet and it went out. I left home and came back about 8 figuring it would be fixed and it still wasnt working. Reset modem and still nothing. Called WOW and stayed on the phone 30+minutes to be told something was wrong but he wasn't sure what and they could send a tech out Thursday between 8am-5pm. They said if I called after 7am Eastern today I might could get someone scheduled for today. I finally went to be about 10:30pm with no TV but mysteriously when I woke up about 5am it was working again. All that said I can say that it sure was nice to have Spectrum internet and cable because in 9 years I never had any internet issues that a reset wouldn't fix and never had any cable issues. That being said my current bill is about $130/month cheaper.

YoutubeTV, Netflix is all I pay for......I also have access to Disney+/Hulu/HBO Max/Amazon Prime that various friends/family members pay for.
we trade logins for the various services with one another. The services keep threatening to shut that down but, so far, they haven't

We have a "antenna" box to get the local channels free. We stream netflix ,paramount, and amazon prime (Dont really count prime as we have it for amazon retail not TV). Im about to have to do something during football season to get ESPN and SEC network, but that the advantage of streaming I can sign up for however many months i need it then turn it back off. Right now we only spend $23/month i believe
We started out with Youtube TV years ago and really liked it but when it went from $45 to $49 then to $69 we changed to Hulu that was $50 for the 1st 3 months at that time and really liked it as well, but we just dont watch TV enough to justify that cost. The current combo we have meets the whole families needs minus a cooking channel or 2 for my wife and football season.

We’re paying roughly $100/ month for 1 gig of fiber from AT&T. I work from home 4 days a week so fast reliable internet is a must. We can have 15-20 devices connected and several streaming simultaneously and never have had an issue

We just swtched to TIVIMATE. $70 /month, every channel/streaming service/PPV you can think of. I’ve been looking at this and they offer much more than I’m getting and it’s cheaper by the year than paying monthly like I’m doing now Are the channels with TIVIMATE listed in numbers or station ID’s like USA or food network

From what I’m seeing there’s different rates for monthly quarterly and yearly Looks like everything is available to watch but paying yearly is the best option I’m not sure what they’re meaning by devices….is that how many TVs you will watch or phones or pads Do you have to pay to watch on all TVs….we have 4 so is that 4 devices ?

Well TIVIMATE is a bust
No working number to contact them and cannot email them without downloading something
As the saying goes...if its too good to be true then it probably is
The search continues
Sling Tv may be what I have to go with
