It probably does, but I did create a PDF chart for myself of a few cord cutter companies with what channel options.

I can try and post it for those whom maybe be interested trying cord cutting? Just my PDF version doesn't included the spanish channels.

Thanks Wolf. 2017 has been a breakthrough year in getting options of what you want and not having to deal with what you don't want. It should keep getting better.

I totally agree, 2016 hardly had much options. That why, I been holding off for a while until better options and channels came along and what I read on some sites, it just getting started. Be prepared for a cord cutting war with at least over a dozen companies competing against each other. So far out there is:

DirecTV Now
Fubo TV
Hulu TV
PlayStation Vue
Sling TV
YouTube TV (but only available in selected markets)

Coming soon: Amazon, CenturyLink, Comcast, Google, Verizon and whomever else I can't think of right now.

I believe Discovery is trying to team up with some other companies, to create a no sports plan bundle.

Here is my pdf version of a few TV providers mainly for DirecTV Now, Hulu TV, PlayStation Vue and Sling TV. I haven't added YouTube TV yet because it only in a few selected cities.

(Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area)

My TV provider pdf list doesn't include Spanish stations.

I'm really happy with what I did. You buy those cheap Roku's once and you are set. They work really good with the Fiber optic internet. And PlayStation Vue allows you up to 5 sets can run at one time. That's really good.
Netflix is getting really good with original programming and Hulu has a good mix of current and classic tv shows. Even SiriusXM has a good online service with their recorded programming. I wish I had time to use it more often.

I like that Netflix will stop after a few episodes, when your binging, and ask if you still want to continue. That way I don't lose track where I'm at when I dose off. If I fall asleep with Hulu or You Tube it justs keeps going willy nilly.

I haven't posted much cord cutting news, but mostly Hulu TV, DirecTV Now, Playstation Vue, YouTube TV and Sling TV has been busy adding tons of local channels like FOX, ABC, CBS and NBC.

As today, I officially have ABC on my DirecTV Now service. I just need CBS, NBC and a DVR service.

This will affect me soon and partly pissed me off, my local internet provider Cox will put a data cap on 1TB and if you go over near 10GB, I will be charged $10 extra.

Cox is Rolling Out New Data Caps in 13 States - Cord Cutters News

There been couple months I have reached 1TB, but I was doing some major binge watching. Now I need to watch my data, but I found this article on how you can get around the data cap. I shouldn't be much affected or unless I need to find a new internet provider.

I'm calling my PlayStation Vue as Sony Internet Television now. I think it sounds better. It does have a tendency to deactivate itself and you have to go back and re activate which can be annoying especially for 3 sets but not annoying enough to think about going back to cable or whatever our new provider that took over from the city is offering. I'm still trying to figure out why that happens.

My Roku's also have a new interface for SiriusXM which is really nice. With some pictures of the on the air talent. Also, I now get the on demand content on the Roku which I didn't get previously. Before, I had to use the Sony Streamer to get SXM on demand stuff.
