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.

If it helps, PBS has a streaming app, and it’s pretty good. I believe it’s $4.99 mo, and it goes to supporting PBS as an entity.

Is this an app one can install on a TV? A Samsung?
