[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 997104, member: 1555"] First, thanks for the tip on the Tablo device - I was not aware they existed, and it's a potential solution for me for local channel access. I am a bit outside the range of a typical tiny OTA antenna and my HOA would have a hissy if I erected a tower in my front yard, so I am thinking about trying a large antenna in my attic (I happen to already have one). The Tablo would allow me to use it without drilling holes in my walls and running cable. I still have "cable" linear TV service via DirecTV. I have contemplated ditching it for several years and going with something like Youtube TV which would emulate the same channel access and DVR capabilities, but I have been able to keep deep discounts with DirecTV going so the financial incentive is not that strong. Especially now that the streaming providers have raised prices in an attempt to be profitable. I'll probably pull the plug someday. I also have a Roku TV, subscribe to a streaming service, and have family members who share access to theirs, so I have a variety of the major ones. If I had to, I'd probably pay $20/mon if I needed to have access to ESPN for their GT and other team coverage. Sports is the main reason I keep cable, and it makes less sense every year. But I'm an older citizen and have a lot of inertia when it comes to entertainment options. [/QUOTE]
