I'd shook my head about the cable bill for long enough, it was time to do something else. I live between Madison, WI and Rockford, IL so the 4 major networks would be no problem with a small antenna, but I'd spent as much time in the past watching the History and Discovery channels as anything else.
I bought a smart TV with Roku and searched the myriad of add on services for about a week before I finally tripped across the perfect answer for me, Philo. Now I get all the sports I need from the networks so if ESPN is a must for you Philo isn't the answer, but being associated with Viacom it is sure great for me. 37 channels for $16 a month including: A&E, AMC, Animal Planet, BBC America, CMT, Comedy Central, Discovery, DIY, Food Network, GSN, History, HGTV, ID, Lifetime, MTV, MTV2, Nickelodeon, OWN, Paramount, SCI, Sundance, TLC, Travel, TVLAND, Velocity, and WE. Yea, I'm thrilled to have cut the cord after having found Philo.
I’m a huge PlayStation Vue fan. Works great on Roku and the cloud DVR is awesome
I cut the cable cord close to 5yrs ago. I just use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO go now

How much Rick?
Cut mine about two years ago. I have Prime and Netflix. During college football season, I get Sling. $20/month gets me ESPN. No activation fee, no shut off fee. This year, I paid $20 to watch just about every single college football game and playoffs.

At my age, everything is irritating.
Something must be wrong with me. I don't even own a TV. I know that I miss a lot of good stuff but a TV is just too much trouble these days and wastes way too much time.

I use an element box. I absolutely love it. They actually have a cable cutting package. I use my strictly for movies. Love watching 720 or 1080 movies prior to their bluray release. I see the big ones in theatre but the ones I am iffy about are always deemed "box" movies.
My son loves "the box"
There are many ways to diy with kodi and loading your own add one but far easier to get a fully loaded box that rolls out updates to drop dead add ons and add the most used.
I diy'd my firestick just for added benefit but you have to physically update add ons on your own.
I haven't fully cut the cord because I love the simplicity of the dvr and on demand without having to search.
I did tons of research before getting my box and element is one of the highest rated. Super fast processor and never any buffering
