“I am close to cutting the cord and looking for some alternatives.”

My advice ... cut the cord right now. Call and cancel immediately. You’ll lolligag around and a couple of months will go by :-). You’ll find what you want/don’t want. I decided to cut the cord in 2014, but didn’t do it for months :-).

Also, Hulu is not $40/mo ... base price is far below that.

A pretty good deal is Amazon Prime. If you buy a lot of stuff from there, you’ll get free 2 day shipping. Their movie selection is decent (some of their exclusives like The Man in the High Castle are excellent) ... it’s $100/year. You can also buy stuff like HBO or Showtime for a month (you don’t have to commit to a year) if you want to catch up on any shows on those networks.

Just cut the cord first and find the stuff you want afterwards. You won’t regret it. Do not take any package deals the cable company might offer you to stay ... they’re not worth it. They don’t last very long (a year) and you’ll be right back where you started :-).

I agree. Cut the cord first, then wait a while. Chances are you will realize you can go with much less than if you have everything replaced before you cut.

(I'm proudly tv free since 1998 or so)

Excellent reply. Don’t move to any bundled packages from VUE or Sling. ESPN gets their subscriber fee regardless if you never watch.
