Living in the country prevents me from doing such a thing.

What dowload speed do you need to stream? I live out in the sticks an am limited to 25 download.
Never heard of Philo......I dumped Cable for everything but internet. So Im at $44 for internet, bought a Roku, and subscribe to Philo for $17 which gives me 44 channels. The only one that matters is Hallmark for the wife.
I haven’t turned on a TV in two years. You all and my other chums on some other car/gun/political forums are much more entertaining.
That's not true. Hulu streams 1080P or 720P based on your available download bandwidth. Mine should be fine (340Mbps) but I can upgrade to "Up To 1gb" if I need to. 4K is another animal. There is limited 4K content available, but it's growing. 4K content is available from Netflix and Amazon Prime, just to name two. 4K movies are available, of course, on 4K Ultra HD BluRays, which was the main reason why I bought my LG 4K Ultra HD TV. So if you want HD @ 1080P and some 4K content, streaming options are there IF you have sufficient download speeds.Been very close to doing this, but never have. The last time I got close, I discovered that there are virtually no streaming services that stream at 1080p, much less 4K. The best you'll do is probably 720p.
So, if you have a fancy TV, it's basically useless with streaming services.
Neither had I. I started this same discussion on another forum last year and got all these same suggestions, except for this one guy who was apparently in the business. I was looking specifically for the Hallmark channel for my wife. It's the only reason the TV ever gets turned on, and Philo has it, plus a bunch of other recognized channels, and for only $17 a month. Thus far it seems to be a quality offering. No complaints at all. I felt like I had been paying $100 for cable to just get Hallmark and now pay $17.Never heard of Philo......
Question. Does Roku have DVR capability (cloud or USB port?)? I know Amazon's product does. We will definitely need the ability to record shows/games that we'd otherwise miss if we're not home.
Same here. Have DirectTV Now, lowest tier package, it's decent.
Yeah for how long? They will jack it up again. I contacted ATT to get a lower price and when that did not work said I was going to cancel. The guy called my bluff and said thank you for being a customer have a great day lol! In the past I was able to get it down but I think I have spoiled the bastards by paying diligently the past few years without negotiating. I'll see if I can get a better deal from Xfinity but my wife really likes the Uverse interface. Xfinity's guide fonts are too small and less legible.I called directv to cancel it and they lowered my bill so much I kept it.
I think it’s under $40 a month with tree drvs but no movie channels but I have a fire stick for that.
