Cable cutters, rejoice

I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
We have our first sports-only cable package and it's ... still expensive.
Also only available in big cities.

Outside of the NHL Network and the MLB Network, I already get those channels and many more through YouTube TV. I think I'm now paying about $84/month. That charge is still far less than cable tv in my area.
IPTV's are an option for those of you that would like to circumnavigate the system at a greatly reduced price. I did that for years without many issues.
A decent UHF multidirectional antenna on your roof is another option. I often use the television in my truck via an OTA signal. We also use one in our motorhome. Won't work for some of you in fringe areas but does work most everywhere.
For me and my family, streaming is the only source of television that makes sense. That along with my Starlink Satellite System gets me everything I want to watch anywhere in North America.

I am thinking about dropping DirectTv today and signing up with YouTube, Today
I have a smart TV, and that shouldn't be a problem. But the older 46 flat screen in the bedroom isn't a smart TV. I am pretty sure i could do the chrome cast device thing. But I do not want to be locked into have to use my phone or hers to watch the thing
Is there anyway to get a casting device that has its own remote independently of using someone's phone, pc to cast.
Obviously I am not experienced with this stuff, hopefully my question makes sense.

I use and have used for years Fire sticks from Amazon. Their newest model allows for casting. Roku is also an option. Personally, my suggestion is the Fire Stick. I have both.
They each have a complete library of any app you need for streaming.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I wrote that above assuming you meant YouTube TV. Just wanted to make sure you knew that DirecTV also had a streaming only service. I think it's simply called DirecTV Stream. Last I looked it was higher priced than YouTube TV.
Fire TV Stick is $34.99 at Amazon.....

Road courses and short tracks.
Check with your Internet provider. Some offer specials on streaming devices (FireStick, Roku, etc.). Mine also offers its own streaming app.
