If you can get cable for under $100, you are very lucky. In Massachusetts, the cheapest package you can get with only 1 TV and minimal recording is around $150, and most people pay around $200 with no premium channels.
Do you rent boxes ... I got rid of all my boxes and use my Firesticks ,,, to watch Cable and record to the cloud. There are many ways to cut your Cable bill.
The minimum Verizon plan comes with one box. In my area, you really can't get under $150, and you only get that by giving up a lot of channels you may want to occasionally watch. It does include their slowest internet, for which I pay $40 per month.
Even with streaming instead of cable boxes (add $20), a decent selection of cable channels (with no premium channels) plus fees and taxes will run $183, and that is the price only for new customers. After the initial period, the price goes to $203.
I'm having a problem with Closed Captions on the Fubo VCL Bridge.
All the channels seem to work fine except two of them. Food Network and Travel Channel do not have CC when run through the VCL Bridge, but all of the other channels do have CC.
I also get CC on Food and Travel when I go through TVE.
What makes these 2 channels special?
Nothing makes these channels "special." The container simply provides what is shown in any web browser. When I went to fubo.tv in a web browser and went to Food Network it showed that "subtitles are not available." The next time after going back later subtitles were available, thus appears to be something on their side.
Keep in mind the stream from the docker comes from Fubo, while the TVE feed comes from discovery.com, so different feeds with different streams

Thanks for the explanation. I just checked, and the captions are back.

Was there a update on fubo? I can't seem to get it to stream but when I login to site it works.
Working as expected here.
The docker is working perfectly with the service.
Just replaced my Synology drives and fixed up my network configuration. Much nicer!!!

Message generated by watchtower overnight, has this project died?

It looks like @joagomez's repository is gone from Docker. I wonder if Fubo issued a C&D or takedown notice?

it's not on his github backup either... that's doesn't bode well
Unfortunately this is not a project that I will be able to continue/maintain moving forward. Hopefully someone will be able to take up the mantle. It’s been a great learning experience for me to get it to what it is

Does anyone know if the current instances will quit working soon? I have virtual NAS DRM instance that I fired up and I can't get that version of Fubo Project to work (worked previously when I last used it in January). I can access it via http://IP:7777 and it shows the HLS and MPEG links, but when I try and access that iteration I get

Look at the Fubo Project docker log
THis is the only thing I see when looking at logs for this particular docker.
Also, logged into my mom's mountain cabin where I have a DVR setup and am having the same problem accessing channels. She's not up there currently, but this thorws a big wrench in my setup if FuboTV Project is discontinued as I rely on that to pull in NBC and FOX (she can't get OTA where she is in the mountains). 
Is Channels DVR able to get the lineup and display the channels?
Yes, I installed a Channels Server on the Virtual NAS and was able to import it in using Custom Channels. But whenever I go to access one of the channels, I get the above error.
What's odd is my regular server I am able to still access all the channels from Fubo Project (local instance of Fubo Project). But the virtual version of Fubo Project and now my mom's cabin are both offline. Only thing I can think of is that they haven't been used in the last 30 days (the virtual has been more like 4 months). I checked and both have the correct username and password.
