Hi monkey44,
I'm currently using Tubi It is free streaming with some commercials, but not many.

Be aware, the "free" services do not have "current" or "live" programing nor any programming library that is exclusively held by the paid streamers..
May or may not be a "bad thing" but if there is something that is owned by Disney, HBO, ABC, NBC, CBS, Paramount and so on, it will not be on any free streaming services..
I took a quick look at Tubi and all I could find was many "B" grade movies and programs (not much in "block buster type of mega movies or newer current TV shows) so you get what you paid for.. If "B" grade and old reruns of TV shows type of stuff is your thing then Tubi might be OK for a while.. But how many times can one watch reruns of John Wayne movies? And yes, I like John Wayne movies but you get get them OTA all the time with ATSC subchannels for free also..
If you are looking for big selection of up to date current TV shows and movies, paid streaming is where you will end up at. But as I mentioned before, you will find yourself faced with subscribing to multiple streaming services in order to access the exclusive content that is not licensed to other services (and there is a lot of that content).
