Sony is discontinuing their PlayStation Vue service, so that is no longer an option. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/sony-playstation-vue-shut-down-january/

You are so fortunate to have a choice!

Any DVR should be able to buffer your live TV so you can skip commercials (until you get caught up). Cable and even our Firecast Antenna DVR does this for live TV.

OK I installed a Winegard 8200 antenna in the attic today. I will wire it up tomorrow. at 14' long it takes up about half of the attic. I ended up screwing the mount to the top of the truss with the pipe hanging down. I think I will just wire in the amp from the start.

I still have cable for Internet and Ooma for voice service. Just can’t justify the cost for cable as we don’t watch much beyond the network channels and there are too many other options with Prime, Hulu and Netflix

In the test I did, no. I did just purchase a Winegard LNA-200. Its not a distribution amp, but one that does upstream before the splitter. I will try it with and without the amp to see which way works best.

The TiVo service (either lifetime or monthly) covers the channel/content guide for OTA content.

The image quality should be better than cable, its uncompressed. In my area I would only get 10 channels, but they are all "good" ones, and the only ones I would bother watching.

Why the dislike for FireTV devices (I don't have any)? Both that and Playstation Vue look interesting. I could play Vue through Apple TV.

I'm seriously thinking about dropping satellite TV. I was looking at Comcast, but the hidden fees for local and sports programming along with their equipment fees make it hard to justify the price. I'm thinking of installing an antenna in the attic for local tv, and then getting a streaming...
