1. No premium streaming service will let you pay a one-time lifetime fee, so things like Netflix and Hulu are not part of any “stream forever” deal, at least, not without pirating them.
2. If they mean local and national traditional channels, you can get them over the air with a good digital antenna that costs WAY less than $350.
3. You can buy a $35 Roku — or use the built-in connectivity on a smart TV — and stream freevee (ad-supported) channels all day long with no additional fees. You can also subscribe to the premium channels and view them the same way.
I couldn’t find info under the device name you mentioned, but I’d advise you to understand what you want to stream before purchasing any device. A couple of good questions to ask yourself are:
- Is it important to you to watch regularly scheduled news, sports, or other programs at a scheduled time? If so streaming only isn’t a complete option for you. Consider subscription TV AND streaming.
- Do you value ad-free viewing? Streaming is a better option.
- Do you want the prestige content and don’t care about viewing schedules AND don’t care about broadcast times or traditional broadcast programming? Streaming only with ad-supported or ad-free subscriptions is a good option.
