Try Roku

@bobwjr Oh we have Roku. It's built right into this TV. I highly recommend it to others.

I was spending a ridiculous amount of money per month for cable and now I get way more content (that I want) and simply pay for Netflix. (I also have a Prime account that I share with my sister).

We even have YouTube on the TV now, which is wonderful, and the new laptop can be hooked up to view though the TV so anything online can be viewed that way.

Oh yeah, Roku's the bomb! I had an Amazon firestick the first couple of years that I streamed tv, but out of curiosity got a roku. Waaay more content, much of it free. Roku doesn't produce any of its own programming content. The reason that is good is that it has no competitive reason to restrict content of any competitors, unlike the likes of sony, hulu, amazon, chrome, netflix, apple, disney, etc. etc.
Of course, I have had netflix and amazon for years, and for only $6/month hulu on-demand, which adds tons of programming. With the three of those, I have more shows and movies than I will ever get to. Oh, plus Youtube has tons of international gardening content. After youtube, Amazon appears to have the most gardening content. And roku opens free access to pbs, rheuters news, and abc and nbc content.

Cbs is another story, in a kingdom of its own, but hulu grabs some of it.
I swore off cable in 2015 and haven't once regretted leaving those robber barons. Vultures!

@MikeInBatonRouge Yup! Though we lost Reuters a couple months back. That was disappointing I haven't found a source for international news that I like as much since then.

We have Hulu too. (A friend's code).

I've been very satisfied with the amount of content we have. It's also been so much better than network tv.

@RavenCT oh, I was behind on the Reuters news. Honestly, we have so many streaming options. That, I think, is the key to affordability. Cable companies thought they had a desperate, captive market, and they exploited that for a long time.
Hulu Live TV is the best streaming service for value for what you get, but they sre not the cheapest. I am proudly cheap, so I have slingTV live tv with dvr function, and the $6 Hulu on-demand, which nicely fills in most tv programming missed by sling.

We shouldn't forget the podcasts and website content either. Public television, for example, and public radio, both have web sites with tons of archived content we can access. I send a nominal monthly contribution, but it is free to everyone.
