David is on a good point that I agree with. I've been contemplating the same thing that Chris proposed, but there is a trade off in that you gain alot of complexity, especially with multiple TVs, guests using your TV, elderly parent visits and constant HDMI input / remote switching. I'm very tech savy and yet for a weekend, I simulated what life would be like. After 25 different questions from my wife and at times kids on which button to push, blah blah, it just ain't worth it YET.

I have a brand new 65" Samsung 4k Smart TV, apple TV, Mac, etc but it still is not as simple as picking up the remote and clicking away at the end of a long d ay. Maybe I'm getting old.

Here in CT Chris, Charter will have you by the short hairs on internet still and that will be 66% of the cost you have now, as they discount the internet when you buy TV service. If you just buy internet, it will be more than the $39 or whatever it is.

Yes, it can be done if you sacrifice, but it won't be easy and you won't get everything you have now. ( foxnews, espn, easily watch olympics ) But, saving $100 or more a month you can do alot with that money.
