Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

I am in this process too.
I have a firestick and chromecast. My chromecast is almost useless with it on the 2.4 channels. The firestick on 5 GHz is game changer. I am sideloading stream apps to firestick now. With my goal to get project free tv. If this works, I might order a 2nd for the bedroom and then so long directv.
