We have Xfinity as an internet provider connected to a modem and wifi router that I own. No cable tv boxes. We stream YouTubeTV, Prime and Paramount+ for tv channels. All of our TV's are connected to the wifi with Roku sticks. I don't use the Smart tv features to stream because we have three different brands that are all different. By using the Rokus they are all the same. Trust me that's a marriage saver right there.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
