    With cable do you still lease set top boxes? Or do they give those away for free now? Couldn’t tell if that was factored into the cost.

      I pay for YouTubeTV, and to be honest it’s basically Cable, expect it’s over the internet, I don’t need a set top box, and I can watch it on my TV/Phone/Laptop, whatever.

      So when I hear people say “cable”, I really think YouTubeT, Live Hulu, or other similar services…

      Last I checked (which admittedly was the better part of a decade ago), Comcast claimed the first basic set-top box was “free,” but gave you a couple bucks of refund each month if you demanded a CableCard instead.

      In other words, it’s not free and they’re liars.
