We bought a Roku about 5 years ago and we love it. It’s incredible how a fairly inexpensive device (about $40, that’s total and not per month) gives us so much pleasure. So easy to set up on the TV. We stream Netflix, Amazon, Acorn (British programs), and BritBox (British programs). Yes, those streaming channels cost but we don’t go to movies. So, it all evens out. We have closed captions turned on and sit back and enjoy. We would get rid of cable except we do enjoy Masterpiece Theater and college/NFL football. Other than those programs, cable TV is pure rubbish. We don’t turn the TV on during the day even though we are retired. I'm told there are ways we can get sports without cable TV and one day I’ll check it out. We can get Masterpiece through our Roku but we watch it on cable.
