I'm not a cord cutter as I never had the cord in the first place. I have a wonderful Samsung smart tv and a digital antenna. Though I literally never watch broadcast tv, it seemed smart to have one for the whopping $20 it costs. Someone once explained to me that you actually get a better picture via a digital antenna than by cable, because there's so much data being pushed through that one little cable versus the more moderate data being pushed via the larger path of the airwaves. When I flip though channels to test that theory, it seems plausible.
Your smart tv has the apps that you use to watch streamed content (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Acorn, HBO GO (most wonderfully), etc.), and Samsung seems to have the best selection of these apps. You could also go the Apple tv or Roku route, which is simply a box that acts as the brains and talks to a regular dumb tv.
