I find that I watch a lot less TV. Didn't know about Roku - we have Apple's Sling TV 25 channels of mostly all we ever watched anyway. HBO app is $8 a month and we have an HD antenna - all the local stations and PBS. The local stations all have two sister channels mostly reruns and either weather or news loop.
