We don't have cable, so Himself got a Roku device for the TV. There are a lot of free options with Roku. We have plenty of shows we can watch, from series to movies, and you can also sign up for some pay services to stream through the Roku.
It's a one-time cost for the device. Under $50. It connects to the TV easily, and it doesn't need to be a new one - our TV is at least a dozen years old. Himself was so happy with the original one he bought several years ago that he bought a new model with more features just this week - so my Christmas shopping for his gift is done. [emoji16]
