I had DirecTV for years. We had outages due to weather, but it was workable. However, they priced themselves out of the market, at least for me anyway.
Sorry I did not see this sooner, @CousinRicky . Text me if you still need help. Have mask will travel.
FWIW, I have YouTube TV and am quite happy with it. For Mrs. S, I subscribe to NetFlix, HULU (base account), and Amazon Prime, where I also subscribe to Showtime, Acorn, and Brit Box. When Mrs. S wishes to binge watch all of her CBS shows, I will pick up CBS All Access for a month. I also have the base account for FrndlyTV, so Mrs. S can watch all of her Hallmark channels. With all that I still save over $100/month over what I was paying for DirecTV.
I do not own a smart TV. I have a Roku on the big TV in the living room (newest TV circa 2011), Fire Sticks on the TVs in the guest rooms, and I watch TV on my one of my computer monitors in my office (27"). All of this is wireless, no cabling to run. In the worst case you may need a wifi extender or convert to a mesh router.
Hope that helps some.
