I cut the cord years ago. No cable. Couldn't justify the high cost cable companies charge. Just Wifi. Anything I can access or store on my laptop or NAS I can stream to TV. I do have a roof antenna for local broadcasts but don't watch them very often. I'm about 50 miles from broadcast antennas and pick up about 50 channels although most are in Spanish. I do subscribe to Netflix, Sling and Amazon Prime plus a ton of freebie channels thru Roku. Not sure what I'll do if prices go way up for those.
How do you digitally record movies at home off Netflix, Amazon Prime, and free Roku channels so that you can take a stick full of them with you on RV trips to play back and watch on a monitor/TV when camping?
Good question, I am curious about that also..
My understanding is those streams are "copy protected" and only a few services allow you to "download and play later" but with the caveat that there is a time limit and it must be played back on the device you downloaded it to.. Otherwise you will have to use some "brute force" methods to crack the copy protection or take a hit in sound and video quality and use a "screen recorder" on a PC.. Both brute force and screen record would violate your streaming service TOS..
