Cut the cord a couple of years ago. Not going back. At one point I was paying for 5 or 6 dvr's with Direct. Now all of it is streaming. Only issue is live tv news. They are getting there with 7 and 9 and 13 (CS) available , 31 for some reason (probably profits) decided to stop their live streaming recently. Apple TV has news apps for 7 and 9 and 13 and 31. What I also like is now I can watch Houston or Kansas City or Boston news too without having to do it on a computer. Roku is my preferred set top device because it isn't as much big brothered as Apple is. Roku you can watch things Apple will probably never allow.
