We stream using ROKU devices on the TVs. We stream primarily through YouTubeTV. It seems O.K. except we have some problems with recorded shows/movies. Sometimes the recorded movies will not play. I like YouTubeTV because you get local channels plus a good variety of streaming channels. We also have an Amazon Prime subscription, so there is a lot of programming thru that. You can also get Amazon Music for free with your Amazon Prime subscription but it will only work on one device.
While is DESPISE Xfinity/ComCrap for reasons other than QOS, Quantum fiber is probably NOT AVAILABLE in 60% of TV. Wish I had it but NORTH of 466A it's very scarce if available at all, kind of like natural gas for cooking. Around here, Xfinity is really the only FAST internet service option. I have Xfinity 1GIG service (yes, I don't need 1GIG , but I have it "because I can") and TV for less than the cost of Youtube TV, or ROKU and internet "ala carte". Xfinity also has Xfinity Stream included so I can also take it with me anywhere if I needed to but some channels are limited on stream. I have tried both Verizon and T-Mobile "5G internet service" just to test it but it is so location specific it's pretty useless for me due to highly variable and very low bandwidth.
