Here is the deal: We anguished over this for more than a year. We really thought we’d miss something. I took inventory of what we actually watch, and my cable selections were minimal: some Food Network shows, F1 and Indycar racing, golf, that’s about it. I felt like I needed local TV stations as I am too far out for an antenna, and you occasionally need to watch local news. I am a Comcast subscriber as that is all that’s available to me. Here’s what I did. I bought a modem. It is the same one Comcast provides. (Got it at Best Buy) It cost about $100. Less than a year’s “rent” on their box. Setup could not have been easier. It’s like the box knows what to do when you connect it. I have returned ALL of their equipment. That saves on all the rental charges and FEES! I have Roku units for streaming. Between YouTube TV ($65/mo), Britbox ($75/yr) and Amazon Prime we get EVERYTHING we ever want to watch. My Comcast bill has gone from $243/mo to $70/mo. I think the only channel I haven’t found is the History Channel, which frankly has very little history on it now. I haven’t regretted my decision for one minute. Not. One. Minute. Do it today!

Peacock is pretty good and there is also Hulu and FreeVee, free with commercials, I don't have time to look at much more. Paid FreeVee is provided by Amazon Prime. We have Prime because it pays for itself considering how much we buy through evil amazon.
