I like Roku sticks ($30 when on sale at Target) as they are always updating and adding more and more other streaming channels but a smart TV might be all you need. I use BritBox and Acorn to get lots of British shows as IMHO, the US shows have gotten out of control. I can take my YouTube TV and a spare Roku stick with me when traveling around the US and get the local channels in the new location.
Do you have to pay for a service with the Roku stick? Does it give you the local channels for free?
