In addition to an over-the-air antenna, we have a couple of Roku3 boxes (roku.com). There are several thousand "channels" available but the most common ones are Netflix and Hulu+, and probably Amazon. The boxes need about 3-5 Mbits/sec internet download bandwidth (each) for Hi-Def on Netflix. There are a bunch of similar boxes out there.

I need to learn more about the Roku box and it's capabilities, too. Sounds like that might be a good option. Sling will likely be a must for us with sports, etc. Again, thks for all the good info!
