I did a trial of ONTV or what ever the outdoor network is. It is mainly hunting commercials. I hadn't watched it in months, but never canceled my trial.

A good over the air antenna and regular Youtube is all I need.
With a nice $70 over the air antenna appropriately installed and directed here in the metroplex, I can capture 120 TV channels in full band width uncompressed 4K audio and video quality.
I enjoy buying Blu Ray DVDs at Half Price Books.
The audio and video quality of quality over the air reception and Blu Ray is far superior to the highly digitally compressed garbage these streaming services pump out.

Yes, I miss out on Netflix TV HBOMax TV shows, but my wife and friends typically subscribe to all that, so I can enjoy those shows when I'm socializing with them.

Boring....

Who wants to sit around watching free channels in bright orange underwear?

I hate to point out the obvious but if your wife is subscribing to stuff you are subscribing to stuff.

I fall into this category.

Man, I so want to cut off Uverse…but it’s so easy to use for this old fart. I use the pause, rewind, fast forward, record every day.

We have Dish at the main house, and antenna TV at the guest house and the barn workshop. We’ll keep Dish, but I have to say that there just aren’t that many channels worth watching. I can get plenty of channels from an antenna, with equally watchable channels. Most evenings we’ll watch something on Prime Video, which now has commercials on many shows.

That wasn't the question. Do you like your gig?

With modern TVs and a USB thumb drive, I can pause and rewind over the air broadcasts as well......I know I could record with it also, just haven't spent the time to figure out that utility yet.

Of the 120 channels what is worthwhile to watch? I ask this because I have Spectrum but we mostly watch Netflix, Max, or Paramount+ which all 3 are free to us because of Spectrum and T-Mobile. I watch the local news on Spectrum and a few shows here and there but really not much. I like some shows on ID One, History, National Geographic, and unfortunately the wife like some on HGTV. Bottom line is if we are viewing TV in the evening it is always on one of the before mentioned apps or some on Youtube. For the 120 channels Spectrum boasts of the high number of channels but most of it is not anything I would bother to watch. Current Spectrum bill for cable + internet is $220 total.

Commando once I get home. As I only watch the TV for sports, I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. If the game I want to watch isn't broadcast over the air, I'll just watch the highlights on YouTube.
This protocol has also been very effective at eliminating any exposure to modern day infotainment emotional news propaganda.

That's where I land also. I watch about 2 shows other than live sports and news. On the other hand my wife feels like she needs every single show available whether or not she ever watches. I think that makes me guilty by association

I use an app called On TV Tonight.

You customize it to your zip code and broadcast reception area and it then provides you with what you can receive over the air in your area.
