I think the best current "cut the cord" solution is a combination of Playstation Vue (Cable channels) and Tablo (Local channels). Playstation Vue has cloud-based DVR capabilities and Tablo does full DVR on OTA channels. Both work with Roku and Amazon FireTV. Sling just announced their DVR solution, so they might be a Playstation alternative also. As was mentioned above, you could make some money implementing this solution, but there would not be any recurring revenue unless you could sell support for it.
