    Yep, just get Spectrum's internet package and add another streaming service. It's not as good as the hype was years ago, but it's better. Of course, it might lead you to change those providers when their service is impacted. Roku had issues with this a couple of years back and I tossed it out and got Amazon Fire HD. Now with everything streaming, it's actually more expensive than cable ever was IF you like certain genres like I do. I don't have Disney + but I love Stwar Wars and Marvel, so I have to live without it. There's Netflix with a few good series I haven't seen. Paramount has Star Trek. If I went with all of them, then I would be paying more than I did with cable. So I live with just 3 services - Youtube TV for live shows and sports, Hulu for shows and movies and Amazon Prime.

    Dump spectrum cable and stream YouTube TV. Better sports, DVR and you can use it on your phone or tablet.
    Now they have multiview- up to 4 games on your screen at once. I might just have to buy a bigger TV... LOL
    I run YouTube, Netflix and prime.

    Why Hulu? They're owned by Disney... and if you say YouTube gives you everything you need then why not stop there?

    I've never done YouTube. Cut the cord years ago and have been with Hulu the whole time. Hulu and Sling were really the pioneers at streaming live TV.

    The chances of running into a contract dispute and losing espn during a game are going to be slim using the platform that they own. You’re giving them your money either way. It’s not my service provider, but seems like a logical choice.
