I refuse to pay comcast for their overpriced television packages. I do have their internet, which I use with a Roku Box and Amazon Fire Stick. If you are an Amazon Prime member, the Fire Stick is a good addition to the Roku. You can now stream the live feeds of HGTV and Travel Channel on the Fire Stick. If you want to pay for Hulu or Netflix, you would be better off watching them through the Roku, since their are loads of complaints by those watching them on the Fire Stick. So, both Roku anf Fire Stick have their places. I am also looking at an antenna to pick up the local channels. But there is so much content streaming right now, I really don't know how often I'd use it.
I also have a Slingbox connected to my system up in Connecticut, so I can stream everything I have there down here to watch, including DVR recordings. Works great on a laptop, and pretty good through the Roku Slingplayer app.
