Hello,

I cut the cable years ago and I recommend checking out the web site: 
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/

In particular, there is good advice in: 
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/the-2018-beginners-guide-to-cord-cutting/ 
Basically, you can try different services and strategies before actually 
'cutting the cord'.

I live in Los Angeles and receive about 100 channels OTA recording as 
needed with a couple of dual channel HDHomeruns.  I subscribe to Netflix 
and Amazon Prime on a yearly basis.  I subscribe to Amazon Prime 
Channels like HBO for a few months at a time for particular programs 
like Game of Thrones or Westworld (note that this is an accepted 
practice and not discouraged by Amazon).

There are lots of legal ways to get the TV programs I want to see,  
MythTV is not a limitation.

Best wishes,

Kevin
