We have two TV sets; one in the living room, one in the "man cave (the insulated laundry shed outside).

We have a ROKU stick on the living room TV, and the Xfinity flex device in the cave. Why? Because the flex device was free and hubby only wants to watch certain channels when he's in there, and we don't need a whole service for that.

We have YouTubeTV for streaming service on anything that doesn't already come with the devices, and I have Amazon Prime Video as a "premium" service.

I also watch TV on my computer sometimes, but usually I just watch movies and reruns and Prime video shows.

Everything works fine, but the Flex with Xfinity streaming is very limited. But it comes with our internet service, which we only pay $50/month for, so it's all good.
