Thanks. My situation is as I described it above. I have one smart TV, but I also have two regular TV's. Can I access everything that I have subscribed to on the regular TV's with ROKU?
BTW, I've seen Roku boxes advertised for $29.99 and $39.99.
I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, a ESPN + and Hulu already.
I just want to make sure that if I leave Uverse I don't sacrifice any of my present channels.
It depends on the service. You would need a Roku device for each TV. HBO Max may limit you to a certain amount of devices at a time so one license many not serve on all tvs. Same with other premium channels but you can purchase a Roku and not have to rent boxes for each tv.
I have Sling TV as my live TV app. I had YoutubeTV for a while. I love YoutubeTV but it's expensive $80 a month. Sling is only about $40 or $45 per month for tons of channels. Not as user friendly but its okay.
I really only need Sling for NFL, Redzone and ESPN. Of course you can access lots of Miner games over ESPN+
CBSsports and Foxsport are not carried widely on Sling so I can't get some Miner games and it sucks. So something else to consider is Miner tv schedule.
I have a 3 or 4 year old Samsung smart TV BUT...there are software issues with it that I am having to deal with such as apps disappearing and remote not working. By contrast, I have a Roku device that is 6 or 7 years old and I don't have many issues with it. I do have to update software and add memory to it once in a while. It even picks up local channels so you can tune in our local stations through the device.
I also have a projector but purchased a Roku stick for it due to software issues and limitations. Works great and can project at 4k if you have a 4k projector.
All in all, I have more tv options than I have time to watch really. If you cut the cord, I don't think you'll miss it.
Oops one more thing, just doing some quick math, I probably spend about $100 a month on Sling, HBO, Prime, Netflix and Miner TV. I know some people who are spending $200 a month just on Spectrum. So if you can do with $100 extra in your pocket a month...not a bad deal.
