I cut the cord 20 years ago, after my last attempt to use Dish. I supposedly got 500 channels, but barely could tolerate watching 3 of them. They didn't offer my local PBS station or local networks, and the ads were so invasive, I couldn't stomach it. My last TV purchase was a real shitshow ~5 years ago. As many are noticing, the manufacturers don't seem to want to make them. I ended up buying a supposed smart TV, but have never have given it access to the network, and disabled everything I could in it's interface. I use a combination of Youtube-dl and OSMC to download content I want, without the commercials or ads. Luckily one of my local networks has a substantial youtube channel, so I got local content again, as well as PBS.
