Cutting the cord finally

I've finally made the move. I'm dumping DirecTV in favor of streaming. Since I don't get at&t internet, I'm paying separately for internet (,and phone and tablet),Live Tv and streaming services. It just makes sense to go to streaming. I've chosen YouTube TV for my live broadcasts. They have all the main channels I watch and it worked well when I tried a free trial and all I will require is to hook my Google Chromecast back up. The only negative was the lack of TBS TNT and Trutv for March madness and that's solved now.

The big drawback was a lack of axs TV for new Japan pro wrestling. Also YouTube TV. Lacks science channel, discovery, tv Land and Logo plus others I never really watch but like it have just in case. Enter. Philo.

Philo has two plans, $16 and $20 a month. It has almost all the channels I enjoy. The $20. Bundle includes Logo, where I watch Golden Girls sometimes and occasionally they now have documentarues, and discovery America, which used to be my big napping channel.

All that's left is Hallmark and el REy network. Hallmark is where I watch Golden Girls, Frasier and cheers and el REy I watch lucha underground and the occasional quantum leap or Knight Rider reruns.

Frasier and cheers are on Amazon Prime, which I have a yearly subscription too. Golden Girls is on Hulu, $7.99/month (I didn't go with Hulu live TV because they don't show WWE raw and SmackDown live). Netflix (basic package $7.99/month...I don't have to have HD or multiple screens). All that is much less than I pay currently for DirecTV. It may take a while to get everything because I need some time to recover financially, but by my tax refund next year I should be all up and running.
