How I am looking right now - y breakdown –
DISH
America’s Top 120 - $65.00
DVR fee - $12
Joey Box (2) $7 each
Taxes and other charges $5
Total - $89
Netflix - $10
Hulu - $12
Total - $22
Changes I made yesterday (because of contract)
DISH
Welcome Pack - $20 (5 channels of the 40 I get I will even watch)
DVR fee - $12
Joey Box (2) $7 each
Taxes and other charges $5
$10 credit for 4 months
Total - $41
Savings with DISH of $48
Options going forward –
Cancel DISH and pay $140 to break my contract.
Switch to PS Vue ($35) or Sling TV ($40)
Leave DISH and sign up with cable provider that I have internet through to get local HD channels and maybe lower internet bill with package deal. ($60)
*Cheap package with DISH allows me to keep all local channels, plus DVR.
*PS VUE is cheapest option and more channels
*Sling TV nor PS Vue doesn’t have local channels. So I would miss out of NFL/NCAA games on CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX, but they both offer ESPN/FOX Sports
I am not trying to cut the cord completely, per se, but trying to save as much money as possible and get the most bang for my buck. I am not getting anything other than local and DVR staying with DISH and their lowest package. Add to the fact that after my credit it will be $51 bucks again, too expensive.
I am and adding something like VUE, would give me channels I would at least watch instead of 40 channels where there are 5 total, including locals, that I would watch for more.
I wish PS VUE had local channels. I didn't realize they didn't when thinking about this.

If it were me, here's what I would do.
Cancel Dish, pay ETF
Sign up for Vue
Purchase OTA Antenna + Tablo (so you can DVR local channels)
