Don’t you still need to be subscribed to a basic cable service to stream on Roku? Or Tivo? Or FireTV?

No, you just need high speed internet access. MY wife and I have been streaming for years now.

We have no basic cable service. Samsung Smart TV + cheapest ROKU device (ball park figure $60 - it’s the stick). We choose our favored apps on either tv and/or Roku and awaaaay
we go. There are apps on ROKU that work hand in hand with cable companies, but who needs them? There’s a lot to be said about the selection available for free.
