Okay Seeking help from the Fediverse. I know, I know, I'll catch shit for this, but who can help me with the best and/or easiest way to ditch cable. Is it Firestick? Is it, Roku? Is it both? Is it just go straight Smart TV and subscribe to a few streaming services?

For reference we have one TV in our family room that's hooked up to cable, and a second TV in the basement hooked up to a DVD player used for workout videos.

The family room TV is a flatscreen but old (could be moved to basement) that does have the ability to connect an HDMI cable to it.

And................Go!

I went with the Nvidia Shield and Shield Pro, after trying to Roku. Does streaming, easy to use, and the Pro doubles as a possible gaming console.

@ScottSoCal We don't game. Does that matter? Nvidia Shield does sound cool, just for the name alone!

@StrugglingGuitarist

I don't game, either, so I've never used it for that. I just get the apps and stream TV.
The only service I can't find an app for is BritBox. Everything else I'm subscribed to is available.
