At the cabin we don't have any streaming services besides Amazon Prime and our YouTube Premium. Between the two of us we usually find something on there that we want to watch. We both have several YouTube channels that we like, because they are real videos made by real down to earth people doing fun and interesting stuff.

If there is something on conventional type channels, like special events, sports events, etc... That we want to watch, I will pay $4.99 for Sling and get access for 24 hours. So far I have done that about twice.

We have a free app on our TV called Hayseed where we get all the local news channels and for weather we just check out James Spann on YouTube or go online to NOAA. Just about any movie we care to watch we can find it on YouTube or Amazon either included with our membership or for a few dollars.

Down here at the beach house we have Cable TV, WIFI, garbage service, water, property taxes, insurance, grounds, pools, hot tubs, tennis courts and exterior maintenance on all the units included with the monthly COA fee, but we still rarely watch the provided cable TV.

I'm old now and I easily get confused by more than one remote. grin I like the simpleness of the Roku remote with like 5 buttons on it. I bugs me to see a remote that looks like a scientific calculator.
