Might cut the cord

Has anyone tried this? https://vseeboxtv.co/
No, but I don't think you really need a box/hardware like that. I'm pretty sure it's doing the same thing (or very similar) that you can do using Stremio and/or Kodi (which are both free). Add a few bucks a month for a debrid service. I have these things along with my YouTube TV service so there is very little in the way of programming that I'm unable to get.

The only challenge relying on Stemio/Kodi without a service like YTTV is that their DVR is so good. I LOVE the fact that I have it set up to automatically record every Cuse football/basketball game without me lifting a finger. It does the same for NFL games and other stuff I want.

Edit: one thing I'll add is that in order for Stremio and/or Kodi to work, you do need a streaming device, but those can be had for cheap. I have an Onn 4K Google box from Walmart for $50. It works great.

A friend of mine says he uses only the box that I linked and he has only internet. He said that he can watch local stations anywhere in the country from his home. He also said the box gives him free movies and shows.

Yes, but my earlier point was just that you could also do that with a $50 streaming box, add Stremio for free, and for 3 bucks a month subscribe to real debrid (which helps find good streaming content). I also use this approach (minus the need for a streaming box) on my pc and laptop.

Just to be clear... stremio is legal but how you use it may not be.

Thanks!
 
I added a similar box to my lineup just to have for prime and Netflix games. I have internet, YTTV, and Kodi. In addition I buy a VPN for 4 dollars a month and real debris service for about 5 dollars a month. Essentially I am paying 10 dollars a month to have every movie/show at my disposal instead of having Hulu, prime, etc.

YTTV is becoming very expensive, but at this time I can’t justify leaving it because the quality is top notch, freee DVR and the convenience factor of bringing it anywhere I go.

Internet I pay 35 (Verizon 5g), YTTV 95, vpn & debrid 10

All in, 145 for up to 20 devices in my house

Yeah, I'm with you. The DVR on YTTV is really good. If I wasn't a sports fan, I'd go without it though and my monthly bill would be about 3 bucks. While you can watch live tv and sports through kodi/stremio, I find it cumbersome compared to YTTV (esp if I want to watch it recorded). For all other programming, kodi/stremio does the trick.
