Watch TV online, legally. Many shows are free with ads (PBS, Pluto TV, Tubi, The Roku Channel) or with a library card (Kanopy, hoopla), and an antenna gets local channels free. Avoid "fully loaded" boxes and apps that promise every channel for free: they are illegal and often carry malware. Paid services below are commercial; check how to cancel before you sign up.
