You are not going to save much once ala carte becomes mainstream. Count on at least $6 for each ala carte channel (with ESPN being in excess of $10). That is going to add up quickly, and you can still only watch one channel at a time on each TV. Add to that the TiVO recorder you will need to purchase to record over the air programs. Good luck recording anything off the ala carte menu.
That is just for the programming. Until Dion can provide each of us with a gig Mbps with 50 upload capability for $10/month, you are going to need at least 25mbps for each device that hooks up to the internet. So with a phone and a TV for each person in the household, you will need at least 50mbps and hope that you do not have too many visitors as their phones will also soak up 25 Mbps each.
The phone companies' propaganda is 5G will take care of all of this - at what price and when who knows.
