Can someone give me step by step ways to do so? For example, if you just told me to get x, that will not be enough for me to understand. I need someone to say, buy x, here’s the link, link precisely how to install it, subscribe to x, it should cost around x, then cut the cable off.
House one: Looking for college football, maybe the news House two: looking for all major channels (abc, nbc, cbs), CNBC, bravo, mtv (more a mixture) House three: looking for a combination of what house one and two have. I know this is a big ask - but we are stumped with how to proceed. Thanks!! |

Roku or a Roku enabled TV (or even a Smart TV) would be a great place to start. You'll get darn near everything, except the college football. You could also try an Apple TV.
Sports is basically the only thing keeping cable companies alive. If you are willing to live a bit on the edge, try to find a "Kodi Box"...

I've tried Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Roku, and Google Chromecast. Amazon Fire Stick blocks stuff like Vudu (Walmart product) as they don't want it competing with Amazon Prime. The Roku is my favorite, and we use it exclusively now.We have 1 per TV (it installs into the HDMI port and you connect power through USB on the TV, or if that's not enough power, you might need to plug it into an outlet) link here: https://www.amazon.com/Roku-Streaming-Stick-HDR-Streaming-Long-range/dp/B075XLWML4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=roku+4k+stick&qid=1566229285&s=gateway&sr=8-3 You can get Hulu Live app (I believe it's $40/month vs regular hulu which is maybe $10/month). My husband seems to be happy with the sports coverage with Hulu Live. It looks like you can get college football with Hulu Live: https://help.hulu.com/s/article/ncaa-football-availability?language=en_US |
