It's all in what you want
1 - You can hook up an antennae on your roof or in your attic, point it at Orlando and maybe get your TV the old way. Just remember to cancel your subscriptions. Then you can go back to the old days you want.
2 - The closest thing you can get to old cable TV without cable TV is YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV or several others. You'll pay for it, but it sure is nice; log on and only open one app for all your channels, if that is your thing.
2 - Everyone is right, if you use streaming services, you have to log into them all. One time and done unless you buy a new TV or streaming device.
3 - Roku, Google TV, Fire TV essentially all do the same thing. Load the apps you want, log on to those services and move on with your life. You just figure out which OS you like best.
4 - I have a Sony with Google TV - it's great. On the lanai I have an old TV with a Google TV Chromecast in the HDMI. In my wife's sewing room, I have a 24" with an old Roku for her.
Final thought - I grew up with an antennae on the roof and three or four stations. While free is nice, I do not want to go back to that. I like the freedom of watching what I want, when I want.
