Go to the Internet only, which usually provides much better service as far as downloads go, and is less subject to the occasional (?) cutouts and poor video.
Then select a broad-range app (this probably requires a “Smart” TV or something like Roku or Amazon Fire) which receives wireless signal directly from your internet connection. Pluto, AT&T-tv, Sling or any of a number of other apps then provide a full range and variety of entertainment, news, opinion and educational programming, which is in many instances much more comprehensive (and possibly less expensive) than bundling the TV with your Internet and maybe phone-over-internet service, which can be both dicey and pricey.
this is what I think I’m finding, but the DVR portion is what is confounding me. Though others in this thread have offered some ideas about that like hulu.
