I am in the planning phase of cutting the cord. Here is my plan.

Shop internet providers, but may go with a dedicated internet service like DSL extreme.
My AT&T 24mbps is solid..and they have a 1000gb data cap that I never come close to reaching.
quote:
Digital Antenna (Mohu or something similar).
That depends heavily on your location. Hope it works out for you..mine is solid.
quote:
Sling TV with ESPN add-on.
What are your interests in TV?
Are you single? Married? Kids?
I don't recommend Sling TV if you have a wife and kids

I am planning to also get Fire TV with Kodi installed. All in all, I should go from $196 to $88-95.
I guess my question about Kodi is, will that be my work around to needing Hulu, HBOGo, and Showtime? Shows usually populate on there the day after airing on TV, right?
Yes, for the most part. Part of the "you're not paying for it" draw is that you never really know. I do know that Game of Thrones was on a few hours after it aired. I'm sure all the other popular shows are too.
To be honest, Netflix is really dedicated and structured, but if you want to save some money, I think KODI will be a good replacement.

Currently have this. Might just retain it and drop Cable.

Why? My original concern was limiting to one device, but I thought they had a beta version now that allowed multiple devices?
TV interests are pretty small besides sports. This whole thing prompted when we were talking the other day. We pay $196 for basically just watching HGTV, news, She watches E, and Lifetime. Otherwise, it is just movies, Netflix, or piggy backing our SIL's HBO which we trade her for our Showtime.
The major reason I considered Sling is to have a dedicated sports option.

We do already have Netflix. I don't really factor that into the cost of cable equation since it is currently lagniappe for us.
I figured FireTV w/ Kodi would eliminate us having to piggy back the HBO plus still giving us access to Homeland and a few other shows we like on Showitme.
Forgot to mention we also have Prime so we technically have Amazon Video as well. We never use it because we just use our Apple TV. I don't think they are compatible, but I guess I could mirror videos from a phone or iPad.
