The Roku streaming media device is one of the most affordable media players on the market, making it one of the best solutions if you're wondering how to watch local TV without cable. Just plug the streaming device into the HDMI port on your TV or monitor, and you can choose from hundreds of channels.

Another way to watch Fox livestreams without cable is with Hulu + Live TV. The streamer is more expensive than the above options at $82.99 a month, but it’s one of the best bundle plans on the market.

You can get HBO without cable through the premium TV network's standalone subscription service HBO Now or the upcoming HBO Max service.
