What ya got and what do you like about it or not? We have local cable, landline and internet but it just is getting out of hand $190 a month and if I dump the landline they bump up the internet speed so the price is about the same. Me I could careless but the wife is a TV junkie so I need a little bit of everything to tame the beast in her. LOL
I figure I'd keep the internet and dump the landline and cable and go another route for TV and drop the big bill that way.
Any input on what I gain or lose going this way?

Got Roku a few weeks ago for about $45 one time cost. You can get a lot of free channels but quite a bit of junk on it also. Worth the $45 though.

T20 when you say fox news , do you mean local? I would like to drop cable but the wife and I like watching Fox news national.

We had Hulu for awhile. Not great. We now have Amazon Prime only. Some good movies and some good "Prime Original" TV series. I really haven't even scratched the surface of what's available yet and we have had it for a year. I think we pay about $120 a year Prime.

My wife subscribed to Fox Nation, but we are having trouble streaming it to the TV. Their app has a few bugs to work out. I have the TV hard wired to router and still cannot get it to work.
She likes to watch Fox and Friends before she leaves for work, and I enjoy Bret Bair in the evening.
This is the only reason we are still connected to cable.
Help yourself.

Looked at Hulu and it seems like it has the TV channels that my cable had that we watch the most, movies are OK but the wife has a schedule of TV shows that are pretty intense and if I get the local channels that might work for us. I would see what movies they offer also just TV is her thing movies are for when zero is on 150 channels that night.

If you have good internet try out Directv Now, not direct dish. It's a streaming service. We run it over a firestick for $55 a month. They have several different packages. You can add some movie channels for$5 a month as well. We dropped dish network last month and I don't miss them one bit.
