Ideas... Cutting cord, Vac Rentals
Working on a project to cut the cord in six vacation rentals.
Experiment so far, I bought an RCA 32 inch TV with built-in DVD. I will supply about 20 DVDs per unit. There will be one of these in each unit.
I will offer the highest level of Wi-Fi internet, as all TV service will be streaming.
Two units are in one building together and four units are in another building together, so the Wi-Fi can be shared I will only need two services. About $140 each
There will be at least two TVs in each unit, with an Amazon fire stick.
I'm thinking either Philo TV or sling blue, which allows 3 streaming simultaneously at each location. Both are cheap.
Antennas do not work in my location.
There are a few free TV services, such as Pluto TV, Tubi...
Anyone do this? Anyone have additional thoughts? Or experience?
Is it realistic to have people logging into their Hulu or Amazon Prime or YouTube accounts here? Or that just opening up a lot of problems?

@Ken Latchers I think it is fine to cut the cord at home. I am unwilling to cheap out on my VRBO. I would not stay at a place that has a hodge podge of workarounds just to watch TV.
I provide High speed internet and Satellite TV. I have families stay at my vacation rental and I get a very good rental rate.
I am not going to offer anything less than what I would expect.
