I DVR most things I watch for another time and would like to know if any option has that available. Thank you.
If your TVs do not have HDMI ports, you can buy an HDMI to Svideo convertor for about $25. All the old TVs had Svideo. You can plug a ROKU Ultra with an HDMI cable into the converter, plug the converter into the TV and stream that way.

New TVs have Apps like Netflix, Roku, Prime, CBS all access, etc. They also look nicer because you don't have a bunch of cables all over. The power cord is hidden behind the TV and that's it.

Streaming means you watch it whenever you want. They may call it a "cloud DVR" but all you really are doing is saving favorites in one place. At our villa we have the HULU package that is called "HULU + LIVE TV" that gives you pretty much everything that cable gives you. We also have Netflix and Amazon Prime.
