The fire sticks are
pretty good…better than just what Samsun…or whatever smart tv has…but still won’t get you what you want, without paying
Apparently there were ones called "jailbreaks" back in 2017 or so that got more. I have no idea

Unlike evidently most of you I have cable which comes in a bundle with lightning fast internet and telephone .However I also have a Roku unit which gets it's signal via WIFI .Most of that is free . That gizmo has a lot of options if you want to use them . That thing was relatively inexpensive like $25

We have a Fire Stick in our 5th wheel and use YouTube TV but i don’t know what it costs a month. You can take it anywhere and use it. I believe you can have 4 tv’s on your account for the monthly cost

I don't purchase any television programming. I do have a Prime account and there is some free stuff to watch there. Going through CHiPs right now. Sanford & Son last winter.

Dual LNB free satellite TV, You'd get a couple 100 channels most of them littered with TV sales, followed by politics, then reruns of decades old shows - all of which get interrupted by 5-10 minute long ads every 30 minutes.
Would set You back 50-100$ depending on what You'd settle for.

At least that's how it works here in Europe.

Nowadays even "cable TV" goes wireless through the 4G/5G mobile network.
My current DSL/cable TV router has a SIM card in it, when the landline craps out the router switches to the mobile network.

I know when I last had Dish Network here in 2017 it was right at $100 a month

I am cheap and try to not to spend money on entertainment.
My last four electric bills.
March $36.64
April $34.48
May $25.76
June $32.98

A great member here sent me a PM with some information on an option that might fit my needs and my cheapskate ways. I am investigating
