I finally cut the cord with the cable company last year and run the little $30 Roku from Wal-Mart (after trying the google stick first - terrible by the way). My TV had Netflix, prime, etc. built in, but ran those apps very slow. The little Roku HD box for $30 runs all of the streaming apps great, and the Roku channel has some very good free streaming shows and movies. There's a ton of free streaming apps if you don't want to pay for Netflix, etc. Roku is definitely the way to go.Get a $40 dollar Roku stick you can put in your HDMI port and watch anything you want as long as you have wifi and it doesn't have to be mega bit streaming either.
