Some of those shows on OTA TV, I'm not sure is available elsewhere.  Sometimes I like to watch Jeopardy, Family Feud, local news, etc., which is available on OTA, but is that stuff on any online streaming service?

Another thing is that I feel like there are many separate streaming services now, and if I have to pay around $6 for each service, that adds up.  If there's only one show I'd watch on their service, I'm not sure if it would be really worth it.

I wonder how that compares to the cost of monthly subscriptions for streaming services you'd pay each month.
