    I signed up via Roku. It wants you to sign up through a TV provider. At the front it doesn't give any other option. To skip past that I had to click on a show, then it gave me the option to just sign up.

    I'm still overspending on Comcast, it's so comfortable and familiar.

    Roku is chinteresting though since it has Bloomberg and the Smithsonian channel.

    I was thinking about switching to YouTubeTV but it doesn't have Bloomberg and I watch that the most.

    I'm rethinking. I didn't do my homework. There's no DVR functions. You can't pause, rewind, or record. Live with ads is agonizing to watch.

    I use a Roku because it works better than the smart TV. I've never really looked at what the Roku channel has.

    Right now I'm paying for subs for Prime, Netflix, Max, Disney/Hulu, and now Root. I also started a free trial to MLB Network that I need to remember. I have Fubo on suspend until May.

    If I kept all of those (~$90) and let Fubo reactivate it's about $200 per month. If I drop Root and MLB and keep Fubo it's about $160.

    The whole decision comes down to how badly I want to record Ms games so I can skip commercials. Maybe an external DVR? Are those a thing? Seems like they once were but I never messed with them.

    Cord cutting hasn't really saved me a dime.
