We just dropped DirecTV after many years. It was costing us $160/mo and we barely watch TV. Wifey watches "The Voice" and we sometimes watch a series on PBS. Otherwise I watch baseball on MLB.TV using my Apple TV players. We have 3, one for each TV in the house. After we dropped DirecTV I had our cable company (who provides our internet) add the very basic local station package. I bought a couple of cheap tuner boxes at Best Buy. They worked ok, but they're a bit of pain to use and record off. So we tried the basic YouTube TV package for a few bucks more and it's way better and has cloud based recording. That's working out pretty well so far. And it saves us $110/mo over DirecTV.
I know that doesn't answer your question fully. But that's what worked for us.
