After countless decades of cable and satellite TV my situation dictated that I cut the cord. YouTube, Pluto, Xumo, Freevee, and many other internet protocol channels have really opened my eyes. Over the air channels where I am are limited to 7 and they pretty much suck. The IP channels via Fire Stick and my LG television offer hundreds of choices for just the price of the internet monthly fee. Now many of those channels are crap, like news in 10 different cities around the nation and multiple weather channels, but overall the variety is certainly there. Now that I am weaned from cable/sat TV I don't miss it t all.
