I already have a Firestick. I don't know why I hadn't thought about cutting the cord with my fire stick. I had only been using it with my Amazon acct for movies and old re runs l like, like Monk. I signed up for a 7 day trial of Sling TV. They have different packages but the $25 month package had all the channels I like. HGTV, Cooking Channel, History Channel, Discovery ID and some others. $5 extra per month for the news channels which does not include Fox, Yayyy! - They have 2 different news channel packages. They have a special on their website for 40% off for 3 months but I signed up on my Firestick so I want able to get that deal. I don't see local channels on Sling TV though so I may look at Youtube TV.

I haven't cut the cord yet. I want to do so before the next bill cycle.
