DTV nightmare.. Timmac around?
Timmac may be absolutely right. Directv (now ATT) is a nightmare to deal with. No wonder they're losing customers. The whole debacle started when my GF misplaced one of my HD receivers. 6 months...

With streaming you don't need to record, all programs are always there ready to watch at anytime, that is what makes streaming so much better over satellite..
Smart TV's are OK but the Roku box offers many more channels and many are FREE...

It seems that you have to know what you want to watch and then go find it. We have Amazon Prime and NetFlix, and scroll through hundreds of movies, often finding nothing of interest. Sure there is lots of content, but I'm not one to watch the same movie over and over.
So I browsed their site and do not see the Roko 3 box. I do have a 4K TV and see that their top of the line box is the ROKU Ultra for 100 bucks. I have the fastest xfinity internet speed and currently have no streaming issues.
Other questions are how long do I have to wait for a new movie release to be available? Also, I'm sure I could take it with me camping and get internet via my work phone hot spot.
Any other costs involved? Thanks for the info - kind of lit the fire under my butt to cut the cord.
Well I have had my Roku boxes for a while back when they called it Roku 3, I now see they have changed there box names overtime, my mistake..
As to new release movies it depends on what channel you want to watch movies, there is so much content that I can not explain, Fandango has a channel on Roku that offers new release movies, I have not signed up on there channel yet, Amazon offers new release almost weekly.
Its not just movies that attracts me to streaming TV on Roku its the other hundreds of special channels you can watch, special channels just for boating, hunting, sports, Red Bull channel, documentary channels, news channels, over seas channels, YouTube, etc, etc...
