Post: Airbnb / STR Television and internet service options

@Ryan Foster Amazon's page says:
"You cannot use Fire TV Recast to record live TV programs from any other source, such as cable or satellite boxes or streaming apps. You can only register 1 Fire TV Recast per Amazon account."

Looks like I'd need an amazon account for each one.  Also says only 2 devices can access it at one time:

"You can watch live or recorded programs on any two of these devices simultaneously."

Seems like an inexpensive HD antenna on each TV may be better (with the exception of the DVR).

@Ryan Foster do you have to give them access to your Prime account?  Or is this a separate account for each house?

@Account Closed,Thank you. That's a great article with several good tips, but I didn't see anything about the question at hand.  Just want to make sure I didn't miss something.

So, I negotiated a deal for $35 for 300mb internet for the house and I think I'm going to do a netflix package for $15.00

Question on the netflix:  It says you can use 4 devices simultaneously.  So, could I have 2 TVs in one house and 2 TVs in another house and just have the one account?

We're converting 2 long term rentals into fully furnished STR for Airbnb. I'm looking at tv and internet service and my options seem to start out at around $110/month per property. This is for internet and basic cable.
Would an aerial antenna paired with good internet service and smart TVs be sufficient?
I'm thinking older folks will not want to deal with figuring out how to use App based tv (I don't), so the antenna would give them easy access to local channels, news, etc.  While the smart TVs would work for people comfortable with streaming services.  
I'd like to be out around $60/month for each property and so far it looks like this is impossible.
I'd appreciate any feedback/input.

I see a bunch of them that are like that so I figured there is a way to keep it from showing.

Why is it, when I'm researching property price history, many listings just show dates of sell and no price?  

How do you structure the sale/documents to keep that from being posted?

What is the best resource for population statistics for cities, counties, etc. Looking to identify trends of rising and falling populations. Thanks in advance!
