I'm using a Roku.

And yeah, I realize regular/free YouTube is loaded with "stuff" to watch. I've wasted quite a few hours in my life just browsing around YouTube. But you sure aren't going to find live sports, and current network programming generally isn't there.

If all you want is something that is entertaining, then YouTube is probably all you need. But if you want specific network programming, still kinda need some kind of subscription service.
