I'm always on the verge of dropping Directv. If/when I do Sling might be my service of choice at $35.
I do have a very good antenna setup and my HD Homerun 4k box shows well over 100 channels available from 2 markets. 95% is content I have zero interest in, but all the major networks are available. This unit has 4 tuners, 2 of which can receive the new ATSC 3.0 standard slowly being rolled out, only advantage is for techies like me that want the best image quality on a high end 4K display. I couple this with Channels DVR with is just like having a cable box, same grid layout and recording capability. Channels also has the capability to utilize TV anywhere which allows you to view and record cable only channels if you have access to a cable or sat login info (yours, or a trusted friend ;-) ) Works great with a firestick, computer, phone or tablet but no roku support will be available. Costs $80/y or $8/m. Hd Homerun can be had for $100 or less for non 4k model. Channels DVR does require a computer to act as a server be connected and on 24/7 could be setup on a Raspberry pi or an nVidea system if you like.
Sound complicated, it is just a bit, but once set up the end user interface is great for anyone of any age. And could work well even w/o an antenna feed with tv anywhere......
