Cutting the cable, looking for some advice.
The Mrs and I have decided to take the leap and cut off cable TV and start streaming. Along with vudu, prime video, Pluto tv and a couple other free streaming apps, I want to get an outdoor HD antenna for local channels.

My main questions for anyone who has done this are, what should I look for in an HD antenna (brand, range etc.) and of Hulu, sling, which one would give me the most similar channels to cable.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We have Hulu TV. Love it. Had Sling and that’s fine but like Hulu a bit more. Get a family member or friend’s(who is in college)email address and get the Sunday Ticket App for $100. Profit.

Hulu + Live TV is <50 a month you get all the Hulu stuff plus live locals. You won't need an antenna.
Disney+ I got free for being a Verizon customer.
HBO GO I got free because my GF is an ATT customer.
Netflix ~14 a month because I'm the one in the family that pays for it and my siblings all use mine.
Everything else, I just stream free off of Reddit or Download Torrents of.

it also depends if your region has data caps. Once those get implemented all over (its gonna happen), then its about the same as keeping cable becuase you have to pay for unlimited dat a.

Kinda. But it sure as hell ain’t the same price. We save about $100 a month by using streaming services over satellite.

if you put broadband with that pricing you may save $20-$40. I need broadband and work from home. 100meg at least with seriously reliable Wi-Fi. I pay $140 a month for that and every channel that’s on FIOS, including all the pay channels. For $40 a month all this Roku, YouTube, Hulu etc. can’t touch that price.

Not where I live. I have Dish with the sports package/Redzone for just about the price of hi-speed Internet. So it's about the same price BEFORE you start paying for programming with the internet.

At my house, it wasn't an either/or on the internet/dish network. We had both. So cutting out Dish Network save us the extra 100+ per month.

The problem I've always had is finding the right sports bundles, where I'm not ending up paying cable/satellite prices. I currently pay ~$85/month for Dish, including one of their sports packages..... and the real bitch is that my data is capped for internet, so streaming live sports would cost more per month.

I believe the sports packages have gotten better recently though.

One day, when every provider has their own $10/month streaming service, some smart person is going to say..... hey, how about we create a service that bundles all of this into one relatively inexpensive payment?!
