... we cut the cable and we only stream what we watch on the television. Occasionally we'll use the Roku apps for NBC news, CBSN, and ABC news (if needed) and we can pull-in local channels over the air (but rarely do we choose to do that unless there's a storm approaching).

With our high-speed Fios + the subscriptions for Netflix, HBO, Show, Hulu, Britbox, Peacock, Amazon and Philo... we have MORE TV and Movies than we can ever watch.

AND IT STILL COSTS LESS THAN CABLE.
