Sorry, this 70 some year old does not understand any specifics of “streaming”. She just wants to watch TV on a TV???????? Does watching TV mean streaming????
no. streaming is watching a youtube video.
Using Roku you can get way more stuff then cable can give for free other then the cheap box and your internet access with less ads then cable. If you add Netflix you get no ads for their video's but that is $12 a month I think.
Streaming over the internet is how Roku is delivered as opposed to having a cable. It is sort of like how you do FR if you think of the Roku device as a computer and the TV as a screen.
You can watch over the air content with nothing more than a digital antennae. Depending on the location you can get a good numbers of channel for free.
No. If a television receives its signal from an antenna, without any internet connection, that has nothing to do with "streaming" in the modern sense. Streaming means sending data to a device, such as a television, over an internet connection. If you watch an online YouTube video or listen to an online radio station, you are receiving content that is being streamed over the internet to your computer or other device.
