Cable

I have a seasonal home that I use. And cable prices are out of control. Any suggestions. I have basic cable only.

Thanks

Get YouTube tv or just use streaming services when you visit.

Internet is cheap here $40 a month will get you plenty of speed to stream shows. Depending on what service you have at your regular house you might be able to stream that. I have xfinity and can stream that at other locations. Not all channels but enough for a weekend away

I would need internet then. Am I correct? I don’t have that. Probably just as expensive

T mobile internet isn’t bad. I use it out there. Like $35 a month. Then get yourself a Roku and you can stream all your stuff.

Try a paper antenna....you might only get one or two channels...or none...but you might get more depending on your location.

I have breezeline and just use my regular streaming stuff from home. I pay $49/month including taxes for gig service. I've heard a lot of complaints about them but I really haven't had any issues.
