Can Roku streaming players replace a cable or satellite TV subscription?

Yes—Roku streaming players can be your main way to watch TV by streaming live channels, news, sports, and on‑demand entertainment over the internet instead of through a cable or satellite box.

How Roku players can replace cable:

Free & live TV options: Watch hundreds of free live channels plus movies and shows on The Roku Channel and other free apps—no cable package required.
Add only the services you want: Mix in subscription apps (like Netflix or cable‑replacement services with locals, sports, and cloud DVR) instead of paying for a big bundle.
Fewer fees, more control: There are no monthly equipment rentals for Roku devices, and no long‑term contracts—just pay for the channels you choose.
Simple setup on almost any TV: Plug a Roku player into your TV's HDMI port, connect to the internet, and start streaming.
