Please explain how this works. How do you watch news/sports?

I'm not PP, but I think it's not hard. You can get all the local news and sports channels (and other stuff they show) through the HD antenna -- ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. You can also get lots of other programs through Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc. When our current FIOS contract expires, we're planning to dump cable too.

For a while, I worried about key shows we like but will miss, but then I realized that we already lose certain shows periodically, such as when FIOS has a spat over a particular channel. When that happens, we gripe about it for about two weeks, then just find a replacement show. Same will happen when we dump cable entirely.

Only thing I wish is that HBO would sell direct access to us via Roku, without any cable package. We'd pay extra for that.
