Five Self-Assessment Scenarios:
Scenario 1 - I am, or could become, a Spectrum internet customer.
Option A:
I want local/broadcast & national channels, including news and sports. I'm willing to stream.
"In just 20 minutes, I was able to switch from Spectrum's Silver TV package, and we can now watch Fox-New-free TV Choice on our smart TV. Absolutely no hassles at all -- and we would have saved some money too except that I added more sports channels in the process." Roseanne C., California

"I don't mind having fewer channels now that they don't include Fox News." Pete T., Massachusetts
"Fox is still on our TV due to news channel selections, but we will save $18/mo. with Your FIOS TV and Verizon sent us upgraded routers." Patty F., Maryland

I want to stick with my current provider and package, but I'm unhappy about paying for Fox "News."

"I called and complained about Fox News to no effect, so I still have the same package. But the call was worthwhile because I was offered a new router and my monthly bill was reduced by $80. Now I'm going to invest some of my savings in Real News."
Nadine S., California
Scenario 4 - I'm not a Spectrum or Verizon customer, but I'm willing to change my provider.
I want national channels, but don't need much sports or news. I don't care about local/broadcast. I'm willing to use streaming TV.

"AT&T offers the U-Verse Family Package. This bare-bones package has no CNN or MSNBC. . .but that's okay. Probably better for my nerves and I can get my news from PBS!" Marcia B., Florida
