We have TIVO--ditched satellite several months ago. The nice thing about it is that, unlike the Roku we gave to our daughter, with the TIVO we can record the shows that come on later than we like to stay up. We are very pleased with it. We paid about $200 for the unit and pay about $16 a month for the service. We also have Netflix for movies, etc. We have the Google Chromecast and it works pretty good--it would work better if our streaming over the internet was smoother. As we can't get most of the UK ballgames since we don't have cable or satellite, we find the games on the internet and Chromecast them to the TV. Pictures aren't smooth (not the fault of Google), but at least it works. We live 10 miles out of town, so our internet service isn't the best in the world! Cable is non-existent where we are.
