Hi all,

My wife and I live in the south-west burbs of Minneapolis, MN. We are considering switching to 5GB fiber that Nuvera is rolling out in our area, and cutting the Xfinity cord to switch to YTTV. We're a little concerned about the ease of entry into streaming only, and wanted to ask the community a few questions:

1. With cable (xfinity) we have a tuner, and a remote, we turn on the TV, cable is on, we use the remote, we get channels - Is there any way that this similar experience with YTTV? What has worked for others?
2. Do most people use a pver-the-air-tuner for local channels? or it looks like YTTV carries all our local channels too? Any benefits to get the tuner alongside? backup?
3. Whats the consensus on the cloud DVR? Does everyone find it sufficient for recording needs - or do people consider alternatives like TiVo?
4. Any other considerations or gotchas that we should think about prior to moving forward?

Thank you all for your help and feedback!
