Here's what we did FWIW
We had Dish at about $130 a month for three receivers, 2 of which were DVRs. And we had CenturyLink for internet claiming 25 mbps but delivering about 3 as we were at the end of the line for $55

So after about a year of this we went with Comcast. Ordered the most basic package at about $100 a month, 200 mbps internet included. Bought 4 Kangaroo Micro PCs for all of the TVs but the 1 that has a DVR. About $130 on Amazon. The Kangaroos run off the WiFi and do great. I use the Watch Xfinity app on them with Windows 10 and an HDMI out and have no problem. They are marketed as micro PC's but for us they're mini receivers. So, downside is that we can't DVR on anywhere but the bedroom that has the Comcast DVR but that's no big deal.
