And I have a Roku stick on 4 TV's. You need good WiFi which I have with Century Link.

Please check PlayStation Vue - I believe they are going off the air Jan 30 2020.

ATT TV Now will work for you. In 32159 you will get all the local stations ABC CBS NBC and FOX with all their packages. The golf channel is contained in their ATT TV Now Extra package at $75 per month.

A bare bones ROKU stick is about $30 from most big box stores and is all you need. The more expensive ROKU sticks contain various features that are geared towards remote control features like volume control and voice activation. My advice buy the bare bones ROKU one for each TV. Get used to it then you will know if you want one with additional features. Then buy that one for just the TV you use most of the time.

I have 25 mbps internet download and it works just fine with my ROKU's. Most of the time we have two TVs on at once.

I really like the streaming much better than the satellite I used to have. No bulky equipment and no outages in bad weather. You also can take your ROKU sticks with you and put on any TV and use your service. Great for snowbirds.

The only real negative I have is ATT TV Now has raised the rates several times and substantially over a period of less than two years. When I signed up for the basic package it was $30/mo. Their minimum package is now $60/mo. But you really can't make a mistake there is no contract and you can cancel instantly.

Our Comcast Service has been better than it was last time I made an oath to never use them again. We have 4 TV'S, 2 Desktop Computers, 2 Smart Phones, 2 iPads and two extenders that go to Cameras I have set up. Everything works fine when we are home alone. As the Oldest Son, His Wifey and the Two Oldest Grandkids arrived last week they all asked for the Wi-Fi code for their phones and Tablets. System Overload. Not ComCraps fault, my fault because I get a kick out of getting a bargain. I have the Starter setup and it works fine when it just us.

I know I'm going to be sorry for saying this but I am herby promoting Comcrap to Comcast at the sound of the ding. DING. They have been fine for over a year. No good deed goes unpunished so let's see what happens now??? :1rotfl::1rotfl: I should have kept my mouf shut! :ohdear:

Yup. For straight internet with no "bundles" Comcast beats all, hands down. It's when you try adding TV to it that you start running into trouble. And empty pockets.

Our final decision for initial setup:

Roku Streaming+ which is on sale at Staples for only $39.99. I have a $17 rewards credit, so I'll actually only pay $22.99 out of pocket.

We'll start out with Pluto TV just so we can learn how everything works.

We're choosing the "better than basic" because we NEED to have the volume control on the remote. Buying the basic and adding the remote would cost an extra $19.99 just for the remote with the volume control alone, so we might as well just upgrade and get the better deal.

We have the 50mbps/(bumped free to 100mbps which I haven't bothered to set on my router) because I do a bit of gaming and it was only $10/month more than the crappy cheap option that you can only run 2 devices on before everything starts feeling like sludge.

The concern at this point, which is easily solved, is whether or not the router's range is strong enough for the Roku to pick up the signal. It's on the other side of another room. If it's not close enough I'll just move the router to the other room, no biggie. I figure if I can connect to the internet with my laptop on the lanai, certainly I should be able to connect to the TV in a room closer than that.

I should have kept my mouf shut! :bigbow:

Update!
 

We have TV! Roku TV, plus Pluto TV, plus the CW (which apparently is free), Fandango Now (since I have around $50 in Fandango credit so I'll try and figure out how to use the credit on the TV), and Vevo (which has some free content even though most of it is pay per view).

We'll make sure we understand how to move around the system and then pick a bundle that has what spouse needs.

For now he's just very happy he can watch 24/7 James Bond and the Addams Family :)

Thank you ALL very much for contributing to the assistance in getting this done! Team effort! I was loathing the idea of having to go to Best Buy and have them sell me something I didn't need, or want, or that wouldn't work.

"crappy cheap option that you can only run 2 devices on before everything starts feeling like sludge"

LOL...Who told you to think this? Bandwidth is bandwidth-bound, not device-bound. But 100mbps only $10 more over 25mbps when it is usually at least $20 is a good deal.

The bandwidth isn't crappy...your 1080p non-HDR television is :)

It looks like Sling TV is the cheapest plan to get the Golf Channel.

For more free stuff, load tubi, filmrise, crackle, and XUMO apps.

We did add Tubi...I've definitely heard of Crackle, I'll toss that in there. Will take a look at filmrise and xumo, thanks!

FYI - You can get the major networks (ABC NBC etc) for free with one of the newer tv antennas (Just like the old days). These are available at Best Buy, Amazon etc. Would still need Roku or other streaming / cable services for the Golf channel.

These two are the cheapest Roku units. They do not have 4k capibility.

$25 Roku Express
$40 Roku Express+ with Voice Search

I'm adding one more Ruku unit just because it comes with headphones so you can quietly watch programs if you didn't want to disturb someone's nap or whatever. This has been very helpful at times. It also has 4k capibility but that's not needed as per your request, but it is the cheapest Roku unit that has the headhones, if you find value in this option.

$60 Roku Streaming Stick+ (this also has 4k capibility but would still work on your regular tv)

The Roku units (and the firesticks, etc) make it possible for you to watch most anything that's out there but you're going to need a subscription(s) for the better services. You just need to find out if any one service has everything otherwise the price starts going up.

*I posted this before I read the last page and saw that you have already scored a Roku device, good. Happy Surfing : )

Where in TV are you able to get these local networks. The OP is talking about 32159 which is the historic area of Lady Lake.

We already got the Roku and it's working great. When we're ready to pay for a channel package we have all the info we need thanks to y'all here on ToTV. We wouldn't get an antenna anyway, which I've said a few times already.

Live in Woodbury, put up an over the air antenna in October. Get 70 channels , some duplicates, Spanish and sales. About 30 we use.

We at our house can attest to that.

That's impressive. What kind of antenna do you have and where is it mounted ? I tried one of those amplified window models (advertised something like 50 mile range) several years ago near Spanish Springs and was not able to get anything.

Antenna's direct clearstream 4v from home depot. Amazon has them also. I put a mount under the eaves so I did not have to put screws in the roof. Using a 4 port splitter/amplifier from the also

I'm across 441 in Stonecrest. I mounted a Direct DB8e Multidirectional Antenna in my attic and got 57 channels. I originally had the antenna in the living room testing it when I first got it. I only got 6 channels on the ground floor but moving it to the attic is where the antenna shined. Like a previous poster some channels are duplicate and some are in spanish (and religious). I have about 15 channels that I watch. I'm getting Fox, ABC, CBS, CW, Justice, Court, This, GRIT, QUEST, ION, My TV, Decades, MOVIE (old stuff) and a few more. I culdn't get NBC no matter where I rotated the antenna or had the booster switched on or off. Currently I'm hooked to one TV and the booster isn't needed to pull in the channels. As I add TVs I may need to switch on the booster.
