Sounds good for you. I use to vcr on our cable box a lot. Hallmark movies mostly.
I pay something like 5$/mo, for Roku, I can then have Roku on as many tv's as I want (with buying their usb, for the other tv's).
Or, most smart tv's have the YouTube (and other apps, like Prime Video) already built in....then you can watch rallies.....
The Amazon Fire stick or the Roku stick let you download apps/channels like Hallmark Movie Channel, FoxNews, Fox Biz, OANN, etc.
