Have you checked out SEAL Team?

Finally killed cable in October. Saving the $159/mo.

I would use an HD antenna if I could, but where I live, I'm surrounded by trees and there is too much metal for me to get any kind of reception. The only way I could make it work is to climb a tree and install an outdoor antenna and I don't think my hoa would go for that.  :D

I dropped Concast for Starlink, with T-Mobil as a backup, and combined they're still cheaper.

I'm thinking about switching to Century Link.  I don't know that they are much better than Comcast as far as customer service, but they have unlimited data (comcast is capped) and are cheaper. 

I may be calling them in the next couple of weeks. Comcast just raised their prices again.

Quote from: Jim at Gentex on January 05, 2023, 12:11 PMI'm thinking of dropping my cable TV and switching to a FuboTV subscription.
It's cheaper than my current cable TV package, it gives me all of the channels I am looking for, and I can stream it on my Firestick.

However, I will be keeping my cable internet service because 5G or fiber optic internet service are not available where I live.

The difference in price between my current cable TV and FuboTV also allows me to bump up to the next tier of internet speed (increase from 100 to 250 mbps), and still save a few dollars per month.

Win / Win!!!  :cheers:  :cheers:  :cheers:
we have Fubo. we like it but nobody in our house ever seems to pronounce it right we all have our pet name for it, for some reason. FUBOO, FOBOO, FOBO, we don't know what it is but the price is right. LOL

Quote from: Leehound on January 06, 2023, 09:06 AMDoes it have "commercial free" content?

Yes, yes it does. Except for the "local" channels.
It's the only service that I've found that has all of my local stations in one place without having to have at least the basic cable tv subscriptions.

Hulu live will give you your local stations. Unfortunately they keep going up and up. That and they don't separate commercial free content so you have to kinda guess which is which.

Tried HULU for a while. they don't offer my local NBC affiliate.

Remember you can't get "Live TV" and have it commercial free...

Be it network or cable channels

What does your plan cost? their website keeps thing close to the vest. Impossible to find out the price or the specific channels without giving them your email address.

My account was gifted to me by my son. 
He pays 12.00/month for three TVs, one of which is mine.

That's a sweet deal! even if it weren't gifted.
