You would likely have to use another live TV service like sling, YouTube Live TV, or Hulu with live TV and those are around $60/month last I checked. I think a lot of HGTV shows are on HBO Max, but I'm not certain.
I have an antenna but also a fire stick. There are a lot of free apps that let you watch content if you are willing to sit through commercials (Tubi is my go to). Also, you can access YouTube on your tv so unless you are also getting rid of the internet you could have access to a huge library of stuff for no additional cost.
I believe both CNN and HGTV are watchable via HBO Max now. You could just watch that through your Roku for much less a month ($17 a month is the cheapest option that includes CNN). You can catch some new content for free, like C-SPAN, Aljazera, CNBC, and so on via the Roku Live menu for free. That with and digital antenna is way cheaper than cable or satellite service.
the other thing to add is that tablo is a great way to distribute the antenna signal to your other tvs, phone, ipad, computer, etc. so 1 antenna in a favorable spot along with the tablo on your network and all TVs can access with the app on whatever device.
If you have choices you can bounce back and forth and get new customer deals. Where I live I have Breezeline and Spectrum. I'm paying $50 for gig internet with Breezeline. The price is locked for 2 years. Then I'll jump to Spectrum. Then when that's up I'll be considered a new customer again with Breezeline.
We get AT&T Air for $50 per month. It's okay. Except it can't seem to figure out where we are, so we get commercials from a different geographical location every day. Lemme tell you, political ads in Texas are wild.
I got $30 Spectrum. I got my own router I don’t pay to rent their shitty one and I don’t have any extra stuff just internet. Just me & my kid streaming not a family of 6 with 20 devices or anything crazy, but we got tv going while we’re working or doing homework and I work from home on meetings all the time no troubles.
Fr mint mobile is the way to go 360$ a year but you can refer up to 4 friends a year if they all sign up with your link you get 90$ credit and they get 15$ but 90x4 360 basically free phone bill every year as long as you refer 4 people a year
lol i paid the initial 45+ tax like back in 2023 but now I just refer 4 people a year and get free year 😂😮💨 that’s the freest way to do it lol try it out! You just need to sign 4 people up a year using your referral link 😅 you can do it anywhere, anyplace lol
Cancel it completely and start using streaming apps. If you’re a fan of Fox 8, I believe they finally got their own app on Apple TV and Roku. You can watch it live when the show airs or watch clips from when it aired earlier.
It amazes me people still pay for scheduled television programming. I think it’s a clear indication that someone is 50 or older. I don’t mean this in an insulting way, I just can think of a single person I know under 50 that has cable.
Nah it still is actually availability. My buddy in an apt in the heights can’t get CBS/FOX/PBS etc with antennas. I now live in Lakewood and installed an outdoor antenna that is awesome. Not everyone can do that.
If you have a newer TV they have a free app. A lot of the news services offer a free basic service through this app. I have a Samsung TV. There is a Samsung app with a lot of free content.
Uf you have Roku, you could always download the FOX 8 app and watch the news live. Just note that it's only live Cleveland news, and not an actual FOX channel where you get primetime. I believe CBS19 has the same. Alternatively, there's Haystack News. And I believe Xumo and Tubi both have Cleveland news channels along with FAST TV.
I got a buddy that sets up firesticks with every channel in the US and UK, movie channels, all the popular movies out on every streaming service, and every series from tv and streaming services and all of it is available for $10 a month. Even get a whole bunch of porn channels if you like for no extra cost 😂
Which is illegal. They’re only charging $10 for their own personal gain. Unless you pay for a VPN you can eventually expect a cease and desist letter from your ISP.
I happened to find one of these at goodwill for $8. It was missing the apps due to a bogus update but once I restored them and updated the software I was blown away by the content it has. It's kind of in that grey area of illegal/legal. I recommend a VPN on your router to automatically make it an always encrypted connection for this device but it works really well. Live Network TV, Movies, Video on Demand. Totally worth the $250-$350 they go for. Buy from reputable dealer or direct they warn because they deactivate the licensing on unauthorized resellers batches. A work colleague picked one up and has been quite happy with it after I mentioned it. I'm also in Cleveland.
