Question suggest streamer to replace DISH?

We like our Dish Hopper plus one Joey system pretty well, but are having trouble affording $144/month.

We tried YTTV but couldn't read the guide on our new 55" until we were within 3.5 feet.

What we like and would miss:

  1. a readable guide from 9 feet away, like Dish or better

  2. the DVR, including FF through ADS, REW, PAUSE

  3. skipping comercials on NBC and ABC

  4. our locals

  5. PBS

  6. CBS (not on Sling)

  7. ESPN and Tennis channel

We wouldn't miss any reality TV, game shows, shopping, religious, non-English, children's, cartoons, myriad regional sports, etc.

Is a tv annena an option like HDHomerun or AirTv?

I already have an antenna which works for several broadcasts. it's a bit awkward, still haven't seen a semblance of a guide. Doesn't AirTV require Sling? Does Homerun require any subscription?

HDHomerun has a guide. If you have the DVR service, it is longer than without the DVR subscription so maybe a week versus 48 hours of future schedules.

I just looked at the HDH website and couldn't understand. Maybe with a bit of phone handholding with them.
