Anybody ever cut cable with a firestick/roku+kodi? Are you happy with the decision?

My biggest issue will be sports. I dont have any of this yet but know a couple friends that swear by it.
If you've cut cable and done this + a HD antenna are you happy with your decision?

Samsung smarttv.
Roku stick (free when signed up with Roku tv)
iPads iPhones etc
Service
Over the air with simple cheap antenna for al local channels. I live in the northern suburbs Indy area and get all the channels crystal clear. Some in hd some look like old regular def. but I get all football minus Monday night football due to ESPN. When I was in Chicago suburbs I didn't get as many channels clear though. Free.
Netflix streaming ( just cut the dvd service this month) 7.99
SlingTV (awesome) 20.00 can add ESPN for sports for 5.00 more
Never heard of kodi but that how I cut the cord. Had choice of cable but stuck with bright house because there is not max on data. Looked at att u verse and Comcast and buried in the fine print was a data cap and how much per gb after the cap.
Btw avoid the Roku stick if you can because had issues with remote and tech support was useless. Was to send replacement but it's been over two months and still no remote. But the strange things is that we watch tv more on our devices than the big screen tv.
You can definitely find a TV program the next day. I have also found a programs immediately after they aired - within the hour. I'm very happy with it.

I just purchased a firestick with kodi.Couple of questions
Will movies continue to be added to my Kodi?Ive got enough on here to do me for awile but was wondering if it automatically add new ones on its own?
Also as far as sports stations I cant seem to get espn or nfl network to work on my kodi firestick.Ive tried apps like sports devil, phoenix, and others.Did you have any problems??

Sports are always a hit or miss.

But if we could find decently fast, reliable and affordable(read: $30 a month MAX) internet, we would dump these shysters in a heartbeat for Playstation Vue or another alternative.
That sucks.
What I get a kick out of is when I complained after each removal I was told that 'it is what it is' and that was the end of the story as far as the reps were concerned. Isn't it great that a mega corporation gets to give you shit service and/or take away parts of what you're paying for in a contract and the best response they'll give you is 'oh well'?
That's why I've been looking into Playstation Vue a bunch but as I said the biggest hangup would be finding affordable and decently speedy internet to use it with.
