    Instead of just talking about streaming, I’m also covering TV antennas, paying less for Internet, and ways you can legally get free live TV and movies that you may not be aware of.

    Once moving to antenna, many of us find plenty to watch on the subchannels. Cable companies often don't carry all these channels.

    But don’t you need internet or wifi to get streaming? How do you get that without cable? You can use your wireless provider for streaming, correct?

    Love the guides, keep up the good work. In my small town, we are forced to buy OvisLink modems to have our internet connections. It's very very high priced monthly for high speed. Would love to cut the cord, so I'm looking at everything I need to do. I also live in a deep valley in Missouri, and I'm confused at what kind of antenna I need. I'm going to try an inside one first (upstairs) to see if I can get a good signal...rabbit ears do not work here. lol.

    Just found your channel. I'm looking into cord-cutting options for my parents and while I am tech savvy, I admit, there is alot that seems overwhelming. Great video, went ahead and liked and subscribed. Will be checking out your website as well. It sounds like there are plenty of options out there, it's just a matter of narrowing them down. My only concern, is that one of the 3 TVs my parents have is an old (very well functioning) tube TV. I'm not sure how well some of these options would work for that and it seems like (antennas, for example) you would need one for each TV that you need/want "x" channels on.

      Get rid of the Tube TV and buy them a small current TV. They will save money by cutting the cord and on electricity. Also my LG has it’s own LG TV Channel lineup. I am sure the other major brands do also. That and a fire stick and HD Antenna and your tech knowledge to set up they will be in heaven.

    I use basic youtube with ad block, anime streaming sites with ad block, DVDs from the library (and yes they get all the newest releases) , OTA antenna and Tubi on every device I own. Don't pay a single penny for streaming or live entertainment.

    Thank you for the great video. I really appreciate it. I am a 73 yr old grandma whose husband is dying with aggressive dementia in the nursing home. I desperately need the escape provided by local channels (CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC...), but cannot afford a subscription to any Spectrum package. I just have their internet and wifi. I am trying to figure out what antenna might help meet my needs. Thank you so much for the input.

    Can you teach how to get Roku on your T V. I have the thing you put on your TV ( BUT) I don't know how to make it come into my TV so it will pickup the TV shows I want to see. I have free internet so that's not the problem. Not having the know how is the problem.

    So in order to cut the cord we need all the local TV stations, and VOiP (landline). We have a user who is not tech savy in our house. We already have Internet with T-Mobile. Anyone?
