Episode notes
How Clark Solved His Streaming Dilemma
- Clark cancelled YouTube TV and replaced it with Sling plus a 50-mile indoor antenna to save money and keep local and ESPN channels.
- The antenna often gives better picture quality for local college games than streaming alone.
Combine Antenna With A Low-Cost Streamer
- Try combining a cheaper streaming plan with an over-the-air antenna to cut costs while keeping key channels.
- Shop channels with a streaming guide to decide what you truly need before subscribing.
Subscribe Seasonally And Calendar Your Cancellations
- If you only need ESPN for football season, subscribe monthly and cancel after the season rather than prepaying a full year.
- Use calendar reminders to avoid letting short-term subscriptions auto-renew.
