In reply to Brianna. My wife and I are actually FINALLY cutting cable this month! I have a plan for replacing it at a much lower cost and I am planning on footing the bill for Sling TV. Still a lot cheaper.

We have a Roku in just one room of our house and that’s all we watch. Even though we have cable, we never use it. Now, we’re seriously considering buying another Roku and cutting our cable. This is without having anything but the device and a Netflix and amazon subscription.

Great article! For those who are interested in getting a Roku or other streaming device but feel you would miss sports or certain channels check out Sling TV. For $20 a month you get live channels like the History Channel, Disney, AMC and many more plus the ESPNs. Not only that but if you make a couple month commitment you can choose to get a free Roku streaming stick or about half off some other options.

dalydose I feel like the newer versions of Roku aren’t significantly better than the old ones. i have a Roku 2 and I don’t think the Roku 3 or the Roku stick are significantly better. I wouldn’t worry too much about the next generation coming out.

I’m having the hardest time deciding between the Roku and Amazon’s Fire Stick. Amazon went and beefed up the specs, but I’m wondering how important that is for streaming. I’m also worried about pulling the trigger and the Roku Stick 2 might come out any second. It’s been well over a year since the Roku Stick came out, right?

Chonce That’s my one complaint about people who profess a hatred towards cable but then purchase every streaming service out there. I mean, I hate the games cable companies play as much as the next person but even if everything went to “a la carte” through a variety of streaming options you could easily pay the same – or more – than basic cable.

We currently use Chromecast but have been thinking about switching to Roku soon. My goal is to live without cable for as long as we can, but also keep costs down. We have memberships with Amazon Prime, Netflix and more recently Hulu and I just want to ensure that we’re keeping our costs low because if you subscribe to every streaming service available, you could very well be paying the amount of a basic cable package any way.
