my mom has been wanting (for a while now) to cut the cable and move to something else. prices have risen like crazy and is now paying more than $300 for cable. the problem - she’s a live tv watcher for just about anything. all game shows, sports, news, different reality shows (bachelor, dwts, etc.). i think she would be fine with streaming services for most, she usually waits a day or two to watch anyways; the biggest is just the sports and news. i’m not sure where and/or what offers it. we’ve thought about one of those cheater boxes, but we have multiple tvs in our house, and from what i’ve seen it only works in one place, so we’d have to get multiple.
I think she’s willing to pay half of what we were paying, or at least something near that.
