The "Legal" IPTV services have the advantage of low or non-existent equipment vs Cable. Had Hillary Clinton won back in 2016 the head of the FCC was going to force cable companies to decouple the equipment requirements from their services. In short, they would make an App available. This would have been huge as STB cost can be as high $20 a month per box. If you have 3 boxes you're looking at 60$. So while YTTV has increased in price essentially it still compares favorably with cable. You can be sure if Biden Wins that there will be streaming IPTV equivalents for all the major cable companies. When you get right down to it cutting the cord was a pipe dream. Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Disney, and the rest will end up costing as much as most Mid-tier cable packages depending on what you're trying to watch. If you want to keep it simple you can still save a buck or two. One of the smartest moves you can make is getting a rooftop antenna and couple that with a device like the Silicon Dust HDHomerun Connect which has 4 OTA tuners. You can access OTA programming via an app on the usual devices you use for streaming. Couple that with Xumo and Pluto TV and perhaps Tubi and you have Local channels and a few dozen free TV resources. Add a streaming service and you're in business.
