Someone gifted us a Tablo, so I just have the antenna for local channels at the best reception in the house, then it broadcasts through the app to all of the other tvs.

today is our first official day availability wise that we don't have "live" streaming channels. We've been using our "new" way of watching for about a month now. Between live OTA channels and what is on Roku/Spectrum free streaming, the only thing we really don't have access to is live ESPN. Even with an ESPN+ subscription through Disney, you apparently have to have a live tv provider to watch live ESPN shows. I think we'll survive.

For a while I was using a family member’s login to watch ESPN and regional sports networks, but after about 2 years they wisened up and you’ve got to re-authorize using your phone like once a week. Not impossible, but it’s a pain in the ass to text someone and ask for their credentials every 7 days.

Netflix raising prices. Talked to my wife and daughter and realized no one has really been using Netflix. Cancelled it.

We haven't had it in 5+ years and I don't miss it at all.

I hadn’t either, but just added it back to rewatch Breaking Bad and finish Better Call Saul. Went with the ads option because I want to give them as little money as possible #noregerts
