Make sure you have GOOD, RELIABLE, FAST Internet. 10mbps is probably minimum, the faster the better. YouTube TV is pretty good as a package. I’ve heard HULU and Fubo are good if you’re looking for a preconfigured package too. You can just go on and pay for individual sites like HGTV, DIY, Food Network, ESPN family, Motor Trend etc. To get your locals you’ll have to have a package like the ones mentioned above or an antenna for over the air broadcasts. The streaming is a viable option, but I don’t find it as convenient as satellite and depending on what you get it can be close to as expensive to match your content level. But you do have control over what you watch and pay for which is nice. If you don’t want CNN, MSNBC or the Gay Bravo, LOGO channels you don’t have to get them.

Hope this helps.

MOFI4500 4G LTE cellular radio and router combination is one alternative. Look into rural internet option informational videos as a starting point for an alternative data connection. Try services modeled after the T-Mobile Binge On™ for streaming options. Streaming data is often not counted in the same manner as other date usage. Use of a VPN on the user device served by the cell radio/router combo is useful in avoiding throttling, as the overall data flow is made anonymous to purpose.

The provider cost per Gigabyte delivered can be argued to have fallen to a fraction of a penny, per sources. These providers routinely charge a $10/50GB overage fee, or $.20 per GB.
