How to get TV channels over the internet?

Ugh, cutting the cord is HARDER than I thought! So many choices for getting TV over the internet, it's kinda overwhelming. I mean, where do you even start? Fubo and Hulu + Live TV? They look pretty slick, but man, the price! Almost as much as I was paying for regular cable, which, like, what's the point then? And YouTube TV? Not that much cheaper.

Sling TV and Philo are more in my price range, thankfully. Anyone tried those? They sound good, but... you know how that goes. Sometimes "budget-friendly" really just means "you get what you pay for." I remember that time I bought the super-cheap knock-off phone charger… ended up frying my phone! Not making THAT mistake again.

Then there's DirecTV Stream. Again, expensive. But... what if it actually has everything I want? Like, ALL the sports channels, plus the cooking shows my wife loves (don't tell her I watch those too, haha!). It would be so nice not to have to hunt everything down across different apps. Decisions, decisions! It's seriously tempting to just go with the cheapest option, but I really, REALLY don't want to be stuck with a bunch of channels I don't care about and still not have the stuff I actually want to watch. Anyone else feel my pain??
