I see that was answered above but I thought I would add this. We were really resistant to doing this, we had DirecTV and it was changing and very expensive but living in the boonies we were worried.

We LOVE Roku. Just so you know, it is so easy to use and you have so much flexibility with it. In case you were just worried as well as angry. I had no idea they would do that to you with a TV set. We had a Vizio but needed a new set so we kinda did this all at once.

Good luck finding something that fits you. I cannot believe they are doing this.
