My internet (50mbps) and cable (with all premium chans and some international) is $26.xx

Bumping this back up for newer technology and more companies offering online streaming products. We are in the market to "cut the cord", and are weighing our options for content providers, currently doing a free trial of Sling, and will be looking at Direct tv now, thought about Hulu Live, but they don't seem to offer a couple of the channels we like. Any feedback good or bad on these services, mainly the Sling and Direct options, is greatly appreciated.

I decided that I don't like Sling. Too many commercials, and very little variety. The commercials are 50% louder than the show, can't fast forward through them. Only popular shows have good sound, but also ridiculous commercials. Some stuff is edited for TV as well. It's like paying for crappy 1990's basic cable.

My mother and I have PlayStation vue. Works good and has a bunch of channels that the others don’t offer.

We don't use it, but Hulu started offering the cable stations like Sling does at an additional cost. Not sure if it's any different, but it's another option.

We have had tv for the last 2 years, this friday at 12:00am it is cancled and we got prime and netflix to take its place. My wife likes TV but I have never really been a huge fan, especially now that everything is so PC.

If you want variety, an abundance of content, no fees, no bull poop, you need to get an Android streaming box that runs Kodi. Streamstation is one of them and their are many others. Some googling will get you a lot of info. Way too much info to post here.

I've thought about Kodi, but I've heard mixed reviews on it, i.e. it's not really a set it and forget it type of program. I'm not opposed to paying a little bit for TV, but cable cost is ridiculous.
