Yeah.... I have several Roku boxes, but....

You were talking about "cutting the cable".  So how does your Wifi get 
on the internet?

Also, just having a Roku doesn't magically give you access to those 
channels I mentioned above.  Sure, you can get them via a Roku, *IF* you 
have subscribed to the appropriate streaming service...  Oh!  But again, 
you need internet access to stream...

You seem a little confused.



.... All the easy problems have been solved.
