I am happy for all of you that can keep and enjoy cable, I miss mine but due to my budget I had to cut because the cost was increasing with the same channels and actually some they took away.  For me this is what I have to do but I do miss my cable.  I should be able to save $88 a month.  That wil help with food and needs.

I am new to my new tv but it only cost $199 for a 39 inch but I will check out QVC EVINE and HSN.  How great would that be but my shows only show names and there are no numbers on my roku remote.  I did not even get a tv remote just one for roku?

 That was also my phone and inernet and no good channels.  That is why it was only $138 a month but at times it was $174 a month.  Too much for a fixed income.

@BalletBabe  how do you tie your TV Roku to your computer? Would I have wires running all through the house?

You can do that shocking comparison with anything....think of what you have spent on food since 2003..., probably much more than cable. It is all relevant. I enjoy my cable and am happy to spend $$$$$ on it, no complaints.

I totally agree!  What's the big deal?  I will be the first to say my cable tv service is probably not a good value because I only watch a handful of programming, and not very often, but when I am in the mood to watch, I appreciate having it.  Plus, I hear all those non-cable services are about to go up in price.  This subject reminds me of all those clothes in my closet.  I wear about a third of them.  I'm not about to put a calculator to that one!!!  LOL

@SeaMaiden  Hi Sea,   You don't .  The box connects to your wireless router.   I should have mentioned that .   You do need a router, it is just like connecting a laptop to your router. What it does is it is actually turning your tv into a smart tv.  I can get more things on the router, then I can on my smart TV. 

I have a very old TV in my back bedroom and it works on that.  If you get it and have any issues, I can tell you their customer service is excellent.

My Roku does not have a box. It is a streaming stick & it is plugged into the back of my TV. It is connected to my wi-fi.

It cost about $36 at Best Buy a few years ago.
