    Since cutting the cord sometime pre-covid, the closest experience to traditional cable I’ve found is fubo. Yes, your regularly scheduled shows aired at regularly scheduled times with regular old commericals. Local & national, tons of ‘cable’ channels to pick from. TV-like user interface.

    Holy crap. I thought my cable was bad. I was paying $135/month for just basic cable with no HBO or any premium channels. Plus I was paying another $15/month for Tivo to record and such.
    Switched last month to Hulu Live + and now only pay $78 total. Think I can save enough each year to buy a nice gun with the savings.

    That's a big fat NEGATIVE on the +$250/mo bill, this po' boy ain't got that kinda dough ! :(
    I paid ~$80 for years with no movie/sports adders. This January, DTV tried to bump it to @$125 against our previous agreements and after too many hours (literally) on the phone, I got it back too @$90. In March they bumped to $125 and wouldn't budge so I dumped them. I currently pay $106 with DISH but I really, REALLY miss my motorsicle racing on MAVTV. No MAV on Dish :mad:

    How much for your ISP? No doubt you use it for more than just TV but you should add some of the cost to the $78.

    I pay $80 for my 1G fiber with ATT. I was paying the same amount for 400M with Spectrum before I switched my internet about 9 months ago, so that's a wash.

    I was paying $200 for cable internet. Killed it all, signed up with a faster internet for $70, did what you did. I have a much faster internet now, but have not missed cable, as proved by my last week at this hotel. I would much prefer to watch NEtflix or HULU with zero commercials rather than sit through all those commercials on cable.

    That said, its nice to see the NCAA baseball games.
