Hi everyone! Starting this thread to discuss the topic and hear from others with similar experiences. Happy to answer questions and share more details if needed.

Six months is enough time to really evaluate. Thanks for sharing honestly.

What was the biggest unexpected challenge?

 

[Moderator_Max]

The biggest challenge was organizing apps. Too many apps, too many logins.

 

[CindyApps]

App fatigue is real. Too many streaming services to keep track of.

 

[AppWizard]

I consolidated to 2 apps and it's so much simpler.

 

[AppWizard]

Which 2 apps do you use?

 

[SandraFix]

One for live content and one for on-demand. Works for 90% of my needs.

 

[LindaForum]

Internet reliability matters so much more now than when I had cable.

 

[NancyBuffer]

Cable was buffered by the cable infrastructure. Streaming is exposed to home network quality.

 

[PatriciaHD]

I upgraded my router specifically for streaming. Night and day difference.

 

[CarlDigital]

The savings after 6 months are significant. Worth the initial setup effort.

What app do you use for local news? That's what I miss most from cable.

 

[PatriciaHD]

Local news apps vary by city. Check if your local station has an app.

 

[NickCable]

Many local stations have free apps now. Good discovery option.
