Presently we’re paying about $180 month for TV and internet.

<div class="">My thinking is that I can get it down to about $120 a month, if I cut the cord.<br class="">

When I think of cord cutting I think of nothing paid. I have prime because I get free shipping, that is all. I tried cbs all access for awhile to get football but they really hasn’t ironed out the kinks in that service.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Look again. My DirecTV via AT&T has DVR. Don’t know what channels you are missing. We pay extra for Netflix of course, and we added an AppleTV so we can subscribe to Titans .(live-action successor to cartoon Teen Titans) on Warner because my daughter writes
episodes for it (!). She is good at action shows.)<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

When I last looked at DirecTV it didn’t have DVR capability and was missing several key channels. YouTube TV is great, but doesn’t run on a firestick and so does not integrate with my smarthome strategy. Hulu with Live TV is as good as YouTube TV and DOES run
on firestick.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
