Can some tell me whats the best streaming TV service?

Get an antenna for local channels. You can get a decent one for like 15 bucks.

I jave a Firestick, how do you jailbreak it?

I use hulu live. I also stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. With hulu live you get the hulu library of movies plus all local channels plus every channel that you would've had on a premium cable or satellite package. It isn't cheap but it is much cheaper than cable or satellite.

Get the Downloader App and side load IPTV. I assume that's what he's talking about.

I use the FS for YouTube TV, but my VPN let's me surf around on Google. There's all kind of stuff that can be loaded that Amazon doesn't have preloaded or available to download from Amazon. But you have to have Downloader.

I'm on YoutubeTV but now that sports are out I might try to switch to cheaper service (Sling) for the short term. All of the services have a free week or two if you want to try them all out, it's a great way to get a free month of "cable" at a minimum.

Each one has kind of "different" packages, which makes it difficult to know which is best for you (and/or your family)

My father and I enjoy watching the Sabres play hockey during the season and unfortunately, there was no services I could find that offered "MSG or MSG-1" through streaming services.

Each company has "packages" with "subscriptions" per month/quarterly/yearly, but depending on what programs/events/etc. are important to you, it's hard to say which the "best" is.

I found that Sling had a pretty good program where you paid 3x mo. in advance and they sent you and "airTV box", which is kind of like a router that connects to the wifi... basically, you get an antenna for your local channels and connect it to the airTV box and it sends out a signal to your Roku/FireStick/etc. so you can get local channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.) on any devices in range of the wifi and also on a mobile phone as long as the airTV is connected to the internet, you'll have access to the locals.

It was A LOT harder than I expected to get everything working and then when hockey season came around, we decided that we'd just turn off/down our cable packages and use it only for locals and MSG/MSG-1 and then still use the Roku stick for streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc.) and haven't really even needed to turn on the cable box except for the games...

I'm kind of at the point where I don't think that having the cable bill, while substantially lower now, is even worth having for just one specific need.

TL;DR? Each service has "packages" and you'd need to do some research and determine which package would be best for your needs/wants based on their offeriing. There is no "perfect" package and you'll have to sacrifice some programs/channels depending on which you choose.
